Stromae is much better and sells much more 

You haven’t seen Kendrick’s current shown then. It’s amazing.

All the lineups are just a bit shit this year.

True this, not seen any lineup that lo9ks amazing. Even primavera and mad cool don't look that great to me.

I'm going to sziget and that is average.

[Tom Lobo]

That is exactly what I thought...😀

[Tom Lobo]

I have flights to sziget😊

[Ferda]

June festivals are quite good imho. Download is cool, Rock for People also. RaR/RiP is yet to announce remaining 2 heads, assuming one of them is Metallica it's going to be quite strong too.

I think I'll pass RW, started to consider NOS Alive despite RHCP.

Btw, I thought Sziget to be average but it looks much better after R&L announcement:-)

To be honest I go to sziget every year, no matter of the lineup. Adore the place. 😍

Although 2022 version had its issues.

In what seems like a surprisingly unpopular move here - bought my RW ticket! Missing Blur is a bummer (maybe I'll catch them at the Lowlands?), but overall I think it's shaping to be a fantastic lineup for me. Even RHCP would be a nice opportunity, haven't seen them since 2012.

[VolkIreland]

Don't suppose anyone has a a list of how much the Hive Resort cost for this year?

Looking at the resort prices and I'm being told the prices have DOUBLED.

I remember a discussion earlier in the thread about the need for a big name alongside Muse for Saturday. Seeing as I must proclaim prior ignorance to their work, are Oscar and the Wolf a big name in Belgium?

Yes, they're Belgian, and they're big in European festivals in general. I saw them perform 3 times (not in festivals tho) and I think it's one of the most entertaining shows I've seen. It's the best party of the year, every year.

Grabbed some Blur tickets for Lokerse Feesten 2023. 60 euro per ticket ain't bad.

Grabbed mine too. No way I am going to miss this. Blur in front of 15K fans is going to be legendary.

[VCF]

60€ for a festival day ticket with Blur as a headliner. Still possible in 2022 then.

Not expecting a lot in terms of undercard but grabbed my ticket without a shadow of a doubt.

On an another note : Not a fan of Christine and The Queens at all, but the overall reactions on socials are frightening. You start to get why Werchter is going for the same RHCP/AM/Pearl Jam acts every year.

Was £150 for golden circle at Wembley, which I imagine is a similar capacity to that.

It reminds me the Blink 182 show at the same festival in 2015. It was insane and felt so small for that band. Could imagine the same for Blur, with still decent acts to join them on that day!

They're that toxic are they?

[neacaisa]

i learned that reaction on festival pages is a whole different thing than ticket sales. you can have good social media reactions and shitty sales and vice versa.

the backlash on socials is usually overblown.

And here's a new name to be afraid of 🥶

[Music12345]

Nah, I have checked and they have shows in France on the 29th and 30th.

Not really. On the Thursday and Friday of Rock Werchter, he's doing shows in France.
