The 1975 into Sam Fender into Stormzy! True. That's a Leeds/Reading festivalgoer dreams come true. For me that's THE WORST Werchter line-up in years. And there was still Billie Eilish in the round to make it worse for me... I'm sure it WILL BE a blast but no one from my friends is interested in going so....let's pray for 2024 !! (and I'm hoping it WON'T happen 04-07.2024 as I have 2 Metallica gigs planned for that weekend already :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're out of luck because of Metallica. Still, it's Metallica!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted January 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 He might not be to your tastes but that's a good get for that day. Stromae didn't even need anyone next to him. You've got Iggy Pop and Royksopp the same night, not like there's no choice on offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.bintein Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Do you think that Stormzy is the first step to have more and more hip hop headliner and less pop rock headliner. There is a lack of big young pop rock act apart from Maneskin (in the near future), twenty one pilot and Imagine Dragons. Bands like Royal Blood, NBT, GvF will never have the popularity that Muse, RHCP, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Foo Fighters... have now. People listen less and less pop rock and more and more Hip Hop, électro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethel Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hi, I know this question isn't about the line-up but I've been trying to find information about campervans without a VASP certificate and whether they have a place for them on the camping? My bro is the drummer in Kelsey Karter and the Heroines and I can not wait to see them on stage!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmolvik Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Only thing lacking now is Röyksopp and Stromae playing at the same time.. Unfortunately is strongly looks like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the legacy of the 2010's really, given that while a lot of rock acts came through to popularity in the 90's and 00's, the genre seemed to struggle to get a look in.

Whether it can necessarily be sustained or create a new wave of headline-worthy bands is another matter, but the audience is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaboom Boxer Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Stormzy is a really fun addition. The lineup looks incredible and I cannot wait for it. Every day has a ton of stuff that I’m going to have an absolute blast with. Thursday is crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gossard Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 On this day 10 years ago RW added Sigur Rós, Of Monsters and Men, Band of Horses, 30 Seconds to Mars, Graveyard, Airbourne, Phoenix, Bloc Party, Two Door Cinema Club among other bands....adding to Depeche Mode, Rammstein, Green Day, Blur, Kings of Leon, Volbeat, Editors and others...oh how the mighty as fallen 😉 ...no, not all of these bands are my kind of music, but the over-all lineup is miles better then the current one!

I mean Editors are still around and playing this as well tbf. But I'm aware it's all acquired tastes. 2014 is the Werchter line-up I was most jealous of not being at in fairness.

mttJ Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 Bloc Party would be a fun addition! Seemingly in the minority on here but that Thursday night looks brilliant for me and my group. Think we're leaning towards just pulling the trigger on this festival early rather than waiting to see if we can pull of Glastonbury resale tickets.

Impressive. Might've been tricky for me to make that given it was during my GCSE exams though aha. 2014 and 2018 are two I'd considered hopping over the Channel for tbf. That 2013 one up above is also a good looking one, while 2010 had a few I'd see dotted around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
