Floyd_Ams Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I don’t think there is any chance for a RHCP hat trick but if that were the case I’m probably the only one here that wouldn’t cry over it (especially considering most of the names I hear lately). And to be very honest if the alternative is someone like Ed Sheeran, bring me RHCP again and again and again… If I had to pick one returning big name from last year though, that would be QOTSA.

They play where their agents tell them to play. He was so annoyed by the amount of people camping for RHCP... and when they brought a guy to play the drums in a RHCP shirt I couldn't stop laughing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that, such a moment does sound hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmolvik Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 With Foo Fighters playing Roskilde on the 5th and Ed Sheeran playing Stavern in Norway on the 4th, I highly doubt that we'll be seeing both as headliners, as the Sunday now seems like the only viable day for both. Ed could maybe be playing Saturday, but Norway to Belgium in 2 days doesn't seem like a very efficient tour logistic. I rather expect to see him at Roskilde or headlining another Scandinavian festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather expect to see him at Roskilde or headlining another Scandinavian festival. From Stavern to Werchter, it's like 15h road including the ferry. If his trucks leave Norway in the night of 4-5, they can arrive late on the 5th. So it's doable. Ed Sheeran on the Friday 5th and Foo Fighters on July 7th. With Dua Lipa being almost confirmed for Glastonbury and her new single coming up this Friday, I'm wondering if we can expect her to headline RW... I hope so.

Thanks for the reply 😊 I realised this after 2017 and ended up making my own for 2018 😂 felt bad wearing it in the end because I had 4 people come up and ask which stall it was at. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, instead of trying to stretch themselves so thin to sell as many tickets as possible, they should just sell your Ts if they’re that desperate for the money. Brilliant that mate 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant that mate 😂😂 cheers! was just about to edit the reply and say to @strudd3rs I’d be happy to put the images together for a certain year if anyone wants them? I actually quite enjoy it 😂 if I emailed you the PNG images all you’d need to do is load them into TShirt Studio after because they’d have a transparent background. Would probably be half of what RW would charge anyway! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely doable, it just seems strange to head in that direction if the only gig you're doing is a (minor) Norwegian festival.

It has become a lot more varied the last few years but Fridays at 4pm CET used to be the time when RW would release most names. Since ticket sales start on Dec 1st, I’d expect a few more announcements by then and maybe announcing PJ on that Friday together with the start of sales. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed but with this first announcement on Wednesday 8am, they maybe gonna change their habits for this edition. All the announcements from Foo Fighters have been a bit random, so decided by the festivals. 8 Nov: Foo Fighters 15 Nov: Headliner 2 22 Nov: Headliner 3 29 Nov: Pearl Jam 1 Dec: Tickets sales 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think they will also throw a few groups of (non-headlining) names before ticket sales start and we might not know all the headliners by then. Usually it's the undercard that gets me most excited so I'm really looking forward to those announcements. Regardless of how they do it I'm already happy that the process has started! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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've only seen Pulp once, but it was a programming coup at Coachella, they booked Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Thom Yorke, and Gorillaz I think, what a great day for fans of English music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
