The Strokes would be first timers too btw...

The Voidz playing Primavera + The Strokes announced for August 31st in Cala Mijas make me think they're not very likely for RW and probably touring Europe during late summer

Pulp? Would be appreciated.

It will not be Foo's in the end, maybe better this way, it would be too early. 

Friday headliner will be a first timer, very happy with this one. 

First timer at Rock Werchter or first timer on the fields of Werchter?

...as the latter rules out bands like Guns and Roses and AC/DC 😉

Yes! Except Beatles, Led Zeppelin and possibly Rolling Stones😉

Guns n Roses playing London on the Friday.

Guns n Roses ruled out due to their Hyde Park date.

Good news for me, getting more and more excited to see who is this name @Ken19 talked about.

Billie Eilish just announced her first date in Europe. 🤔

Very glad we dodged Guns n Roses.

That would work, but boy will they hear more "Pop Werchter" reactions if this is true. Defo not against it, but will be curious to see how this affects w-e ticket sales.

Billie Eilish playing the friday would be huge and would probably convince me to buy a combi ticket. 

[ParanoidTourist]

Best case scenario: we get Billie on Friday and Blur on Thursday.

[polnico]

A popular poster here just called Billie a no cert on the Pukkelpop thread (no cert for Pukkelpop ofc). Looking more and more likely for Werchter then...

That’s what it would take to pull me back in now; Billie is a more interesting name than some being thrown about but I don’t know if she would be enough on her own to convince me to go back yet.

Didn't her solo Werchter date sold very poorly and it got moved back to an arena?

No idea, but that was three years ago. She’s way bigger now.

Strong doubts about Blur, especially on Thursday but maybe they'll do back to back-days. Although a minor chance, the only place I can see Blur fitting is on a strong Sunday with QotSA playing third down. Doubt it, but it's Werchter so you never know.. 

Billie on Friday.. meh, but that's at least a reason to go home early which is very much needed from time to time 😉

Guns n Roses are pretty much Graspop band. 

[polnico]

Was this some kind of a leak that has been retracted? Cause I cannot find anything on the official socials. Neither GnR's nor BST's. Or am I blind?

Still up on Duff's instagram. Seems that GnR side announced it a bit earlier than they should've
