Can probably add Raye into the mix? Playing the Main Stage at Open'er on 02/07, probably a straight choice between here and Roskilde for where she goes from there.

She will be there (but absolutely no surprise). 

 

Quite happy with the direction of this years festival, and how the line up is taking shape. Not easy, things have massively changed over the last months. Excited for the next announcements and the feedback from the people.

Thanks Ken!

 

This week's announcements have revealed some really interesting undercard names and you saying that has got me very excited to see who comes in the next batch! Assuming we're getting one next week prior to tickets going on sale?

Why?

 

I was thinking I'm not so sure she'll have one of the higher slots as well due to Olivia but didn't realise Khruangbin was a female front act as well so it's possible and every chance she would be below O-Rod too. I'm hoping similar to them though clashing with O-Rod on the barn

Do you know how many acts are likely to be announced this coming week and is it based on previous years you would be happy with?

thanks for the info, with the rumour that the 1975 are headlining glastonbury 25. is there any indication that we could see them at RW25?

Not for a high spot on the MainStage.

In 2019 they were headlining Reading and Leeds Festival.

That year they were 3rd on the MainStage at Werchter before Weezer, Bring me the Horizon, the Cure and Tool.

They're not that popular in Belgium and the Netherlands.

@Ken19 what’s the massive turn around? 🤭

Tickets to TW Classic 2025 are sold out

But of course, Sam Fender is a bigger headliner than Robbie, as someone insinuated.. 🙄 Looking forward to see the Fender-day sell out in a heartbeat. 

[sisco]

So I guess the sensible guess would be 8-10 names in a package next Wednesday that includes Raye, Fontaines DC and Weezer

Add Jack White and Biffy Clyro to that and we're talking.

What about these bands ?

- Idles

- Future Islands

- Amyl and the Sniffers

- Tv on the Radio

- Turnstile

 

It would be nice additions !

 

And for electronic music, Paul Kalkbrenner, Floating Points, Jamie XX? Do you have any ideas of who might be announced ?

I’d say they’re all very possible barring Idles (were there last year so very doubtful that’ll happen even with the RW repeats!)

I think werchter will get tv in the radio

[Archi]

I guess the big change in the last few months is the fact Billie Eilish skips RW and Belgium again... 

[northernangel]

I guess this is now very much in the frame as the option to look at.

When I saw that Rock Werchter considered Sam Fender as the headliner, I was disappointed.

There are very few festivals in the world that Fender isn’t big enough to headline. Probably none in Europe.

I think it's perhaps indicative how average festivals are next summer. 

 

Take Stormzy and Roskilde, which is perhaps a more crazy choice than fender. 

 

It's quite interesting more festivals are trying to get under 21's, with cheaper tickets.

Queens of the stone age just announced for Pohoda festival... Could we also see them at Werchter?

Just been announced for Nos Alive the same day as Olivia Rodrigo so I wonder if Werchter will go for a similar set up
