That's a great addition for me; saw them in Manchester a couple of weeks back and they look every inch a big band now. Difficult one to place though, playing lower slots at Pinkpop this year but headlining Tons of Rock. Interesting to see if they're the headliner or if they're on before Kravitz and someone else. 

Also wonder if this means an announcement is due?

I like them too. However, I think they need another big name in order to sell out that Thursday, so hopefully GVF plays 3rd down. In any case, hope we get an announcement before Christmas.

Yeah 3rd from top feels about right for me. It's where they were due to play in 2022 before QOTSA withdrew from that edition.

I'd imagine so, they were a back up sub in 2019. Solid live act but not seen them since they moved into arenas.

[Archi]

They cancelled last-minute in 2022 but they were sub of Metallica. They soldout Forest National in Brussels on their recent arena tour a few weeks ago (8k people). But in 2022, they were booked above Lewis Capaldi who soldout SportPaleis (24k capacity). Si I guess if they're coming back, they gonna sub for Kravitz. I hope we gonna have an announcement at 4pm today!

Seems mad that someone 4th/5th down on the pink pop announcement would Co-headline this.  Anyway, hopefully we’ll find out soon

[WFD]

Jane's Addiction playing in Luxembourg on the 3rd, with festival announcements to be added soon.

[ParanoidTourist]

Would be nice with the trio GVF-Lenny-Massive attack on Thursday.

If Massive Attack are there they should play last in the dark. But according to Ticketmaster BE, Lenny is closing the opening day. Let's see, soon we'll know more.

Oh, I didn't know that it says so on ticketmaster. We'll see in a minute then! 

[49Lawson]

That's mostly a cracking set of additions that!

[polnico]

Very good announcement.

 

[49Lawson]

Out of that I would watch every band they've added to the Thursday, Bad Omens and The Beaches (!!! who have just recently got into these last few weeks but Blame My Ex is one of my favourite albums this year, buzzing about that), The Kooks and Arlo Parks on Saturday and Jungle and The Breeders on the Sunday. 

For as weak as the top is this year, undercard is shaping up amazingly for me.

[ParanoidTourist]

Excellent announcement! The undercards will save this edition🙂

And on the poster, the headliners are standing alone so that leaves room for future co-headliners I guess.

So I guess PJ Harvey and Jungle are our first two Barn headliners?

Fun fact: Parkway Drive also confirmed themselves today for the Thursday but they are not in the official announcement. The Friday looks really good but I hope Sum 41 are not the sub. Love them, I know it's farewell tour but it would still be cheap for a festival like RW. On the poster, all headliners are alone. Did they change their design or are we really missing a co-headline everday?! Could we imagine Parkway Drive being on the same line as Lenny Kravitz above a band like Greta Van Fleet on a mainstream festival? I doubt about that. If you look on 2019 poster, 2 days had one main headliner when the 2 other days got 2 headliners on the first line. Same in 2017.

You can count dEUS for closing the Barn on Friday.

That's strange about PD but I would expect them there now. Think we've lost Limp Bizkit to the Saturday of Graspop sadly but was hoping they would turn up here. Totally agree about Sum 41, think it would be a very weak sub, especially to what is probably the weakest headliner there. 

Yes I was also curious if there was more to be added to the top line, wonder if @Ken19 is able to shed any light/drop any hints?

Happy with new additions (Still hoping that Pearl Jam play Thursday, I know i am dreaming !). Was enough for me to jump on a 4 day ticket . Friday poor for me so far but i have faith it will improve

Saturday is the best one for me. Actually, the only day I'm really excited about.

That Friday is still one of the worst RW ever for me. dEUS and nothing else really.

Trying to read the poster and the order on the website but that was not easy. Still think we're missing our Friday and Saturday headliners.

Khruangbin's position is... strange.
