Since we have 2 headliners missing, may I ask for TOOL as well? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archi Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 In 2 weeks, January 26th, Main Square will reveal its full line-up. We only have headliners for now. It's been a while now since both festivals took really different directions but it could still give us some hints for the line-up here.

Seems a long time to announce an headliner for the festival. @johnybegoodreplied to this post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali_rocks Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi folks! I'm new in this, but I silently read the whole topic the last months. Have you considered The Strokes as missing headliner for Friday? First, they should be first timers (according to Ken19). The band was booked for the 2020 edition, but we all know that didn't happen because of Covid. Also, The Strokes are touring with RHCP in April and May, which band could be more perfect for that spot on Friday before them? According to Rick Rubin they were recording a new album back in 2022. So maybe festival announcement and new album this month? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe festival announcement and new album this month? People were quick to deduce they are out because The Voidz are playing Primavera (early June). But Julian tours with the strokes until the end of May and then again in August, so I really don't think it's far fetched. As Strokes canceled their Primavera show last year in a day's notice, it will be a great compensation for me. Also, may be another factor contributing to the bizzare outcome of RHCPs back to back booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, it was King Gizz instead for me too. The set was a bit less to my taste, but they're so diverse it's impossible. I do believe I would've had much, much more fun at the strokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that pretty much every show was criticized 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find any patterne in their announcement really... In the past few years, the friday 4pm local (belgian) time announcement has been a staple, especially for packets of names. I even recall an announcement in the previous years where Werchter said on their socials something of the sort "bringing back old tradition, the announcements of friday afternoon", can't recall the exact post though. The headliner announcements do not usually follow this pattern however. Edited January 18, 2023 by polnico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'm being proved wrong on Friday 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd_Ams Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Apparently Interpol will be there (from festileaks). Considering that they are in Dublin on Friday, 30 June, I assume that Sunday will be their day at RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
