Rock Werchter 2023

LAODS of other acts I'd like to see back from that 2020 poster: Disclosure, Wilco, Liam G, Archive, Kendrick, The Streets (also dropped out 2022), Anderson Paak, City & Colour, SOAD, Volbeat, Placebo.

Damn, just remembered how much I was looking forward to 2020 at the time!

Sadly Faith No More are almost guaranteed out, Mike's only just getting over his agoraphobia by trialling two Mr. Bungle shows in December. Probably not enough time after that to put FNM back together and tour summer.

Unfortunately, you can rule out Archive for the 2023 poster too (Darius was diagnosed with cancer and their entire tour was postponed until autumn '23). Disclosure were there last summer though 😉

Oh that's sad to hear 😔 Forgot about Disclosure playing this year, we were getting a good spot for The Killers and didn't fancy dancing after a tray of Stoofvlees!

Thom Yorke too! Hoping to see him in Werchter next year.

They would be a small Barn head then…

As a huge fan, I am certainly biased, but compared to some of the Barn heads of previous years (Disclosure, Khalid, Marshmello, Jorja Smith, Jamie XX, Polo G, The Good, The Bad & The Queen, Elbow...), I'd say thet're about just big enough. Yes, they're not a NIN or a Kylie, but I'd say such big barn heads are not the majority (two per edition maximum).

Yeah if it was in the UK they'd be comparable with those acts but not Belgium

I had this conversation last year.

Rock Werchter obviously think they are big enough for Belgium as they had them to play at the Encore event last year on a 1930hrs slot. Before the whole thing got pulled.

Pretty happy about this, but I understand that this might end up being the smallest of all headliners. Hoping for a nice co-head that day, Kendrick / Tame Impala would both work well with Stromae to form a nice "poppier day" (Tame Impala's gotta play in the dark though)

3x Amsterdam Ziggo + 3 times Brussels...might be small in your book, but not in Belgium/Netherlands. Many people left after his show at Boutique and did not even stick around for Gorillaz.

I am from Belgium, so believe me, I definitely know how big Stromae is. Probably should have added "smallest headliner on an international basis", but it's true that he's been solding out shows in the USA. I still feel he'll be one of the smallest though, simply because he's one less likely to shift tickets to people coming from UK, Ireland and other countries. He'll sell plenty of tickets to people from Benelux/France though.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
