Yep, same here! At this point every year (i.e. one day before ticket sales) the back-and-forth messages with my friends are about who's buying the tickets and who's taking care of the accommodation. Today, for the first time, the messages were... "are we going"? But let's keep the optimism cause, for me, a summer without RW will be a weird summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkIreland Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Ah, sure look. We'll all go and have a nice wonder around for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrainertje Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I looks like no Werchter for me this year too. Foo Fighters was excellent and the best way to start your 'campaign', Dua Lipa is an amazing name I really wanted to see, but that last batch of names and now Lenny made my excitement go downhill from there. Hoping for a big, huge surprise but otherwise I'll skip a year. Plenty of other (and equally good/better) festivals to visit. The stress about skipping whole sets before wanting to see someone in the Barn adds up to this though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfest Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Does anyone have any idea if the Hive Resort packages tend to sell out really quickly? These disappointing announcements have me questioning making the trip from Canada. Ideally we'd wait for a few more names but I wouldn't want to be left without a Sahara/Tipi package at that point. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, they have had a strong undercard before them for example War on drugs in 2022 and Jack White in 2018. I don't think they're a band that lives for the ego of the headline or co-headline marquee. I think this makes the initial claim that they were playing July 5 much, much more likely. Maneskin is the headliner currently, and they're just simply not that strong for most concertgoers. A Maneskin/Pearl Jam brings in young and old and gives the entire festival more heft. I remain of the opinion that they're waiting to release their Euro touring schedule in one press release, since their name is NOWHERE and they're definitely playing in Europe.

sisco Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 Have to say as someone who’s planning on being a newbie to this festival I’m alright with the lineup. Got enough for me to watch already and a few new bands I’ve never seen. Still loads to announce too so I’m sure there’ll be another couple of handfuls im interested in. Reckon we’ll get an Arcade Fire/KOL as a co header on the Lenny day. Someone more poppy with Maneskin (probably Sam Smith) and then someone to break up Avril and Dua on the main stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am pessimistic after the last batch of announcements. But it ain´t over til it´s over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaVGT Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I'd think bands like QOTSA and Kings of Leon are more likely to co-headline then Pearl Jam..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As things stand, QOTSA (even on repeat) can have a big impact on the lineup. They were so good last year that I don't think many people would mind seeing them again.

Floyd_Ams Posted December 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Philip Selway during a livestream: "We’ve actually had a little break for a minute; the last show that we did was back in 2018, but we’re coming back ’round to that point now. There is just something particular to that relationship - that creative relationship and personal relationship - actually, you can’t get anywhere else. We’re all coming back around to that point now of thinking, ‘Right, we’ve had a break - this is it. This feels like something to dive back into and really explore and see what other directions it can take us in." That's excellent news for 2025 :)! Now give us The Smile in '24 and we'll happily wait 1-2 years for Radiohead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCF Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 Saturday ticket in the pocket! The festival as a whole is not for me anymore (too much repetition of acts, not a fan of the headliners and I feel like the most interesting acts of the summer will end up elsewhere), but that Saturday is promising.

Floyd_Ams Posted December 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 So the Foo Fighters day (Sunday) is already sold out! That was incredibly fast for RW! I guess it's a combination of their popularity and many people choosing a day ticket this year instead of a combi due to the selection of headliners for the other days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
