They are both very welcome! I give more chances for PJ Harvey to appear this year. She would be a great Barn closer, I think. 

And imo Pulp would be a great choice for a sub for either Foos or Pearl Jam (or any other headliner really) but I'm not sure if they are considered popular enough in BE for that.

I would like them very much too! I also think Pulp are not big in Belgium unfortunately. PJ Harvey would be a great Barn closer indeed.

I keep seeing PJ Harvey mentioned in here but I’m completely unfamiliar with her music. What would be a good jumping off point?

I would say "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" and "Rid of Me" is a nice starting point.

Tool just announced they’re doing a EU/UK tour in 2024 so I guess they’re a potential

In Primavera topic there was an info about end of May. Probably arena tour which is much much better experience than festival

I'm totally fine with seeing them twice 😁. And if it's a combo with A Perfect Circle, even better!

Long time lurker but I can't resist the urge to post for the first time with this beautiful image that helped me when she performed at Rock Werchter back in 2016 :

Super interesting, thanks for sharing and welcome! 

"To bring you my love" is a great album to start with indeed!

I’m honoured.

A reliable source is posting on festileaks he expects Pearl Jam will play the friday at Rock Werchter.

So with the Foo Fighters on sunday this is starting to look good...(like always)

Another Way Out West announcement: Queens of the stone age. 

Wouldn´t mind them back in Werchter this year due to their excellent performance last year. 

[Karlos12345]

Damn. That means they are really come twice next summer.

I'd love to have QOTSA back at RW. But they might end up at Graspop instead, together with TOOL.

Btw...It would be amazing if both of them were at RW together with Pearl Jam and the Foos!

QOTSA for Pukkelpop I would imagine given the Way out West date

They are also at Hellfest and RAR/RIP so anything is possible with them.

Kings of Leon playing the British Grand Prix weekend on 4th July. Haven't been here since 2017. 

Would fully accept them as a warm up to PJ or Foos if they've started to accept that their star is waning now.

We can rule out 30 Seconds To Mars. They gonna play in Brussels end April 2024

Seen them at Download Festival many moons ago, and really enjoyed the set. But I have heard the arena experience is superior.

[JackF94]

Would love to see something like

Thur - Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer

Fri - Pearl Jam, The Killers, Liam Gallagher, Pulp

Sat - Dua Lipa, The Strokes, Maneskin, Greta Van Fleet

Sun - Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Foals

Even for the biggest festivals worldwide, this is too big! Even for Rock Werchter. 

[Andrej]

Thats super unrealistic. Thats something like 3 headliners every day.

I think they're more likely to take other bookings than take a lesser slot. I can't think of anywhere they haven't headlined since 2009.

Except for the Saturday, that would have been great!

Maybe we'll get KoL into QOTSA, similar to KoL into Blur in 2013...
