SonicSleuth Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thanks for the quick reply! I didn't realize they were so close to the festival - that's pretty rad. I do know the nights get very cold, and that's an issue as well... maybe that's not as bad in the glamping cabins? Nonetheless, the information is super helpful.

No clash with Werchter but not the longest of turnarounds between Werchter and the first of these shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also pretty much confirmed in a way by the guy from Rock Werchter so i understand from festileaks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlos12345 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) I‘d even have them penciled in for Mad Cool and NOS. It‘s EU to East Coast, so not too far and Dave Grohl is known for one-offs all over the world so I guess he wouldn‘t mind only 3 days between EU and US legs.

FF, PJ and GD sounds like it‘s too big and too old but it also sounds a hell lot like Werchter. Ed Sheeran announced for a quite small festival i Norway on the 4th of July. Very surprising booking and might be the one that rules him out for Werchter given that he's in Germany before that trip, but could be a potential for the Sunday maybe?

If Werchter got Green Day and FF I may have to do Glastonbury....hopefully and then off to Werchter for a first try. See if they can bring Werchter back to the quality of lineup expected as I think the last two years at least overall haven't been there. 2 hours ago, Karlos12345 said: I‘d even have them penciled in for Mad Cool and NOS.

I don't think they'll do as close as 3 days before, Mad Cool will probably just lose out. I would try Mad Cool as Madrid is great but always here it's just badly communicated and organised.

ParanoidTourist Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 What do you think are the chances for Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey or Olivia Rodrigo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Bilie not much chance as she's currently in her second touring year. Lana's album was released this year so she could return got European fests and Olivia has a gap end of June to July 19th. She is well young enough to do Wechter and other bits up to possibly even Mad Cool weekend given Philly is East Coast states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Pearl Jam - Foo Fighters - Green Day ? Even if I'd love to see the FF live again and Green Day are always cool live (not a PJ fan), it sounds so old and not fresh at all... So many boys too... At Rock En Seine, Billie Eilish teased an upcoming release she's working on (new album I think) so I guess she'll take a break in 2024 to record it before coming back stronger in 2025 and finally headlining RW. Olivia Rodrigo is doing a massive arena tour in Spring and gonna play twice in Antwerp in May so impossible to see her coming at RW this year. Could Lana Del Rey fit as headliner at RW? Got the feeling it would be better on her own at Werchter Boutique per example. Dua Lipa? She recorded a new movie to be released in 2024... wondering if she finished her 3rd album or not. Ed Sheeran used to play his own Stadium shows or on Werchter field but as he's playing Southside/Hurricane.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFoxx Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 Gaslight Anthem are in the UK around this time for 2000 Trees. Would fit as an undercard act with some of the rumoured headliners (Foos, Pearl Jam, etc). Not sure how big they are in Belgium though.

Atm their June has 7 UK dates, last of which is on June 27th, so I guess it depends how many more they might do in Europe either side of it and whether that may be a factor for them doing Mad Cool/NOS the immediate few days before the first of their Citi Field concerts.

Archi Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 They just announce a EU tour with a show in Belgium on March 14th (2000p capacity). We'll see on Friday if it's selling fast but I don't think they'll have an higher spot on RW line-up if they're coming back for the Summer.

Why the doubt? Foo Fighters has been confirmed by the festival organisator back in July. I'm more curious about the other names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaboom Boxer Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 I would love to see Jungle appear at Werchter, have they ever played it before? They’re doing Beyond the Pale in June and have a gap until Manchester on the 11th July so not impossible. They have a European tour booked for this October and November but don’t have anything booked in Belgium. What do people think the chances are? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
