Gossard Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 On 1/14/2024 at 6:47 PM, Archi said: The co-headline on Thursday should be Parkway Drive. They confirmed themselves in December before they delete the post on their social networks. I love them but I can't see them as a co-headliner for a mainstream festival like Werchter... And with the success she has, it's hard to imagine Lana Del Rey plays as sub. Gonna be Pukkelpop or nothing for her in Belgium.

gingerevans84 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Not too familiar with Parkway Drive, just see their name near the top of many festivals in the warm summer time. Surely Werchter need a bigger sub to Lenny on the Thursday though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´ve actually seen Lana in the Barn! Although it was in 2012;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49Lawson Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 If Blur and No Doubt rock up here I'd have a ticket within 5 minutes of the announcement. Think it will be a farewell for Blur though, didn't Damon say he was done with touring with them for a while late last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, Damon actually said that Blur was done for now so I am actually a bit surprised that they announce a festival date all of a sudden.

Yeah. We can also add names such as Brutus, SHAME or Bar Italia now ruled out. Justice / Four Tet / Brutus is slowly making it a nice closing day at Dour btw. However, Dour still has not announced Janelle Monae (who’s touring and cancelled last year) and their headliner spots are almost filled. Barn head (or Dua sub) ?

Not so sure about Brutus, they're also playing Ronquieres (another Belgian festival) a few weeks later, so I don't see why Werchter couldn't also be added to their tour. Oh and apparently announcement today at 4 (Festileaks info + Stone posting a picture of Werchter with - "3pm" UK Time as insta story today, + other saying "Belgium we have announcement") Edited January 17 by polnico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Belgian band Dour and Ronquieres might not rule them out. I’ve just remembered they’re playing Graspop though. Does not that make them less likely to play Werchter?

Really can't belive they haven't played Werchter yet honestly, they deserve it so much (they've been at the Werchter parklife thing during covid; but somehow not the main festival). Maybe after next album ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49Lawson Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Possibly the weakest main stage they've had in a while (pending additions obviously) but the other stages are looking stacked. As always, avoid James Arthur at all costs. Terrible human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkway Drive potentially fourth down when compared to their other slots is quite mad. No idea how Khruangbin has bagged that slot though, but maybe that's just me being out of touch. Really surprised that they've done an announcement today though, typically they never used to start until next week with the Friday 3pm/4pm packages. Happy though, some more great names added.

Bazac450 Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 just out of interest, would The Gaslight Anthem be in any sort of trouble from RW for releasing the poster an hour before the scheduled announcement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Official announcement: Thursday : Parkway Drive, The Gaslight Anthem, Stone, Mike Skinner and The Streets, Meute, Slowdive. Friday : James Arthur, Tom Morello, Archive, Sleaford Mods. Saturday : The Blaze, Janelle Monáe, Benjamin Clementine, Marc Rebillet. Sunday : Sampha, Froukje, Parcels, Zara Larsson, Loyle Carner, High-Vis. Edited January 17 by Archi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCF Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 The whole weekend finally starting to kick in, albeit a bit messy. Still a lot of acts (many Slope names) to announce but the prospect of The Last Dinner Party > Marc Rebillet > Janelle Monae > The Blaze > Avril Lavigne > Dua Lipa makes me extremely happy.

I doubt it, I think they'd just blame it on time difference if anything. Tom Morello has had the Friday listed on his website for weeks and I can't imagine they've said anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
