Well for the first time in forever I didn’t get Glasto tickets so off to Wercher I go.  Trying to persuade people to join me so need a lineup to entice them with. 

My entire Werchter crew got into Glasto, I'm on my own in Belgium. Better start with Pearl Jam and end with the Foos at least!

Best news of the week. My number one band I'm hoping to see at RW now. 

They were excellent before Nick Cave in 2022. They can bring Nick and Placebo both, do the show again! 🙂

[NorthernSoul52]

Has Nick Cave cropped up anywhere yet? I was sure he'd be in the mix.

Alvvays, Tamino, Ben Howard, Interpol, Mogwai, K’s Choice all ruled out.

Still no names for that Saturday. I’m afraid LCD could end up there…

Good result!

Royal Blood sold out in Olympia France in less than 3 days. Strange there is no others headlines indoor gig in Europe. 

Maybe they have a good spot for Werchter and other festival and that their headline festival tour will be their European Headline tour. 

[NorthernSoul52]

In Paris? Not a massive venue, is it? 2,824 per Wikipedia.

Think that’ll have to wait until Pearl Jam announce their tour 

[ParanoidTourist]

Massive Attack are playing Northside in June. I hope they will finally come to Werchter.

Going by previous years I’ll be amazed if there’s not more throughout next week, not necessarily headers but bigger ticket selling acts

Can't say for definite but for the 2018 festival it went on sale before Christmas 2017 with the only bands we had announced being QOTSA/Gorillaz (Thursday co-head), Pearl Jam (Saturday headliner) and Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds (Sunday co-head) before eventually revealing London Grammar (Friday co-head), Jack White (Saturday co-head/sub) and a few other names at the end of January

Useful guide overall but can probably drop Alvvays (Live Is Live) and FKA Twigs (billed as a European festival exclusive at Primavera)

A great list! I would also add Paul McCartney on the list, even if he would be considered a surprise.

Pixies have been announced this week for Ronquieres early August. And about QOTSA, it's 50/50 between Rock Werchter and Pukkelpop. Sorry...

Thank you :(. Damn, there are only a few rock bands touring next early summer...

[Bring Da Ruckus]

We assuming that we’re going to get the line up some time this week then? any last minute predictions on who the headliners are going to be?

[Archi]

Read rumors saying Parkway Drive will play on Thursday at Werchter... If it's true, I'm wondering how the line-up will be that day. In 2019, they play at 5pm around Yungblud and Balthazar with Muse as headliner. They should play one spot later for sure this time.

Not the complete line up but probably a few more bands and thursday‘s headliner. Which I guess is Pearl Jam.
