49Lawson Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I imagine if Springsteen is doing the TW Classic that Gaslight Anthem will be supporting him there; but their new dates really put them in the frame for an appearance here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the rumours about an announcement tomorrow, they already prepared a draft with interchangeable dates and locations.

It’s probably good news for the ppl that live close by but otherwise considering it’s second year in a row and the ticket prices, a weird choice just 2 days before RW. He could easily have been the first headliner of the festival (I would have liked that) in case they are struggling again like the past two years. But profit is more important for LN of course… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing him at Werchter now, thinking if I don't get Glasto tickets on Sunday about putting a run together of Live Is Live, Springsteen and then Rock Werchter and just hoping and praying that the line up delivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 For what I see, he doesn't play any festivals. Only his own shows. He played at TW Classic this Summer but it's more a long outdoor event than a real festival. Hope we still have some news from Rock Werchter soon. Not only confirmations of Foo Fighters and Green Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name taken Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Great for the appearance of your poster, but 80,000 Springsteen fans who occupy the site all day or only arrive just before he starts: not an ideal scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 11 years since he last played a regular festival, this will be his 4th consecutive European tour without any festival dates in it. Also, his recent health issues are forcing him to take 3-4 days of rest in between 2 locations. Which made booking this tour a complex puzzle, made evident by the fact that standalone Werchter events usually take place on a weekend/holiday and not a regular Tuesday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no problems entering the Barn and KlubC the whole day and plenty of space to lie down in between? It's a great scenario! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, "easily" was the wrong word to use indeed. But the reality is that lineups across all LN related events are spreading more and more thin due to the continuous chase for max profit. Let's see...Hopefully we'll get some nice names soon! Edit: Tickets cost 138EUR. 208EUR to be in the front. And it's not even a one-day festival like TW Classic. Jeeezzz!

panda97 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 This might be a dumb question, but how do you actually buy tickets for Rock Werchter? I went to try and find prices and stuff and just cannot seem to find an option to view/purchase tickets anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
