ACDC are rumored to announce a tour later this week. They were also named as a Glasto possibility.

Not too bad of a cohead if RW managed to snatch them

 

 

AC/DC can’t be cohead with someone

 

LP are last headliner, jimmywe said on festileaks forum

Girl in Red, Fontaines, TLDP and Amyl all seem likely. Black Keys maybe 

 

Good undercards like that could redeem the line up:) Hope they all appear.

That’s not Jimmys info btw. I posted about it a couple of pages ago that the person who had the info mentioned Bryan Adams for Classic and Fender as headlining.  The 3rd bit was Linkin Park

 

Jimmy is a very good bloke though, shared some info with him

How about something like?

 

Linkin Park - Fontaines DC - Deftones

Green Day - Oscar and the Wolf - Weezer  

Sam Fender - Jack White - Noah Kahan 

Olivia Rodrigo - London Grammar - Vampire Weekend 

 

I doubt Green Day will accept OATW before them (and they like to have a finger in the game on who's playing before them). Weezer seems likely though and that would be great. London Grammar was tipped by @Ken19 to headline The Barn, so probably not (unless RW needs to downgrade their bookings even further). I'm guessing Girl In Red will have some kind of spot on Main Stage on the Olivia-day. Probably 3rd/4th down.

 

Not ruling out Muse as the last headliner either, after today's announcement at Tons of Rock (which must have one of the better line-ups for rock fans this year. The best would be something not mentioned at all though...

I wouldn't attend that. I've got 5 acts there I'd bother to watch I think.

Worst werchter lineup since it got popular. 

[sisco]

3 acts and the world is over 😂.  Out of interest as you all know what’s a great lineup this year?

As it'll what blackfoxx put? If it gets Glasto I'll almost definitely not be going. I have a feeling I've missed to European boat for RAR and Werchter. My werchter was this year really. 

 

I've got LP, Weezer, Green Day, Jack White and Olivia there. The rest I wouldn't attend in the notion they are there.

It's just based on blackfoxx put as in the case. I like all 4 headliners of this year. This year I had 17 acts with another 2 two catch bits of. I might be wrong but I can't see it this year.

I don't even like attending concerts at Main Stage (except early in the day), so for me it's all about the undercards. That said, headliners is often a sign of what direction the festival is taking. Last year was the worst edition I've ever attended, and the headliners were also weak (except Foo). One could hope that weak headliners leave more money for good undercards, but that hasn't been the case so far. Slope had some good names last year, but that was about it.

You could have a great point, but werchter is always driven by headliners. 

 

If the headliners are poor,  you go elsewhere. Which isn't the case for festivals like Glastonbury, Roskilde and Sziget.

Tbf I’ve always been someone that likes to see headliners on smaller stages too so I’ll be looking forward to seeing what’s announced.  I’m easily pleased though tbf

I've always been someone driven by festival experience, rather than lineups.

Guess you could argue so have I as I went to about 8 Glastonbury’s in a row however didn’t get a ticket last year and went to IOW instead and have never had so much fun.  Due to that we decided to not even try for tickets this year and go do something else again (Werchter).  
 

There’ll always be enough as I’m happy listening to this that and whatever.  
 

Enjoy whatever you decide to do

Yeah did every glasto from early 90s to 2008, then hit the European festivals scene. 

 

Think we can both agree, the glory years of werchter having double headliners has long gone.

I’ve been saying it for a while mate that I think due to costs and big headline bands doing their own thing there’s just a lack of what we expected genuine big headliners to be. I think all festivals have struggled IOW massively downsizing, Glastonbury and Coachella too not getting the names you’d necessarily expect.  
 

The funny thing is I’m not really that bothered as I’ve pretty much seen everyone I want to now so getting away with my mates is the most important thing.  (That being said, getting those few bands you love on a lineup is always amazing)

That’s the biggest problem on forum I think. Many users saw almost all bands they wanted so now they need to complain all the time, me too sometimes 😀

 

I’m waiting for Hellfest lineup and if they have NIN on poster, that’s it for me, last two “must see” in my life. Plus RATM but they are dead…

Future Islands playing Nos Alive. Think that's the first sighting of them next year, loads of great options for the undercard about next year.

Yeah basically you've seen all the bands you want but the festivals aren't thinking of we won't book these again because they've seen them. Then you've got the crowd of I didn't want them the first time lol.

Morning all, disappointing Download announcement for me so RW climbing up the list of potentials more and more...

 

Anything juicy while I've been away for a while? 

[BennyL]

Does LP doing a full stadium tour rule them out or make them more likely?

The inside info says they’re playing Werchter.  Guess we’ll find out in about 24 hours.

Looking at the download lineup, and I don't know how much cross over there normally is but I wouldn't mind seeing Jimmy Eat World, Sex Pistols, Bullet for my Valentine at RW.

If Werchter landed all those 3 then it's I the conversation instead as Download is not worth attending currently more than 1 day.

Seems pretty sure Jimmy Eat World and Weezer will join RW on Green Day day. I can't see BFMV here, they will play Graspop like always. About Sex Pistols, hard to say if RW will take them or if they gonna do a indoor show in Belgium.
