Would be great if RATM come over here, they are probably the most unpredictable name at the moment, together with SOAD. I spoke with people that work with RATM a month ago, and there are never any plans, and then at one moment Zach decides he wants to tour, and tour comes along in 1 week. So who knows, back then they told me no RATM in 2024, but that might have changed.

Got the same info yesterday from a guy who works for booking agency which had arranged RATM concert in 2022 and he said there is no news about RATM

Royal Blood again? 😅

Werchter aren’t adverse to booking headliner bands from one year to the next, never mind bands of Royal Blood’s size. 
 

Foos/QOTSA/Royal Blood would be a very solid day though, even though I worry they’d skim it and do Foos/Royal Blood

Do you know why band prefer to tour in UK and US than in Europe.

Blink 182, Green Day, Fall out Boy will tour during spring and summer in US. Foo fighters have already announce UK and US tour but nothing in Europe (apart Helfest). 

Even a band like Royal Blood will don't play an arena tour for their new album and will do only a few festivals in Europe.

Maybe the market in US is more interesting than in UE.

This is the Werchter that literally just had two years of Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining right?

Feels like most bands were using UK crews for European tours and Brexit has been a total pain in the arse for organising it. Or maybe they like just announcing UK stuff first and leave Europe until down the line.

I don't think any two bands are going to be alike with this stuff.

Yeah sorry, I was trying to make the point that Werchter will book headliners two years off the bounce if it makes them money (Florence and the Machine 2015/16, RHCP last year/22, KOL seemingly every year between 2008-2014)

Apologies if it didn’t come across as such haha

Blink will still come over for Reading/Leeds and a few others in Europe.

 

Its still mentally earlier for announcements for European festivals as well, not even November. We know Green Day are coming over as well. I'd imagine Fall Out Boy will be over. We have the biggest festivals announcing next week as well.Have some patience!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
