Just to check, you can buy different camping options after you've bought the main ticket right? If I get the Combi ticket now in the presale then I can decide camping a bit later once I've worked out group size and whether I want to take my own tent or one of the pre-pitched options?

Yes mate, no need to buy camping yet (and not all on sale yet anyway).  I do believe The Hive sells out though

Cheers - just got my combi ticket. Very excited to finally come to Rock Werchter for the first time, and excited by a lot of the likely names being discussed over the last few weeks. Will need to do a bit more research on the different camping options.

 

There's a small chance I might be taking the trip solo, so wondered if anyone had any experience of that and could recommend a campsite that might be more sociable for meeting people or finding others in a similar position?

 

Also am I right that the Hive camping is a bit of a free for all scramble to get a space and that's why they sell the myspace option separately to guarantee a reserved spot together - and this is particularly aimed at larger groups that might all want to camp together?

New names! The bill for Rock Werchter 2025 is enriched with a series of particularly interesting names today. Fontaines D.C., Amyl and The Sniffers and While She Sleeps are coming to Werchter on Thursday 3 July. Friday 4 July will feature newcomers like Simple Minds, girl in red, Wet Leg and Lola Young. On Saturday 5 July, we welcome RAYE, Elbow, Beth Gibbons and Barry Can’t Swim to the Festivalpark. Noah Kahan, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Overmono will play the festival on Sunday 6 July.

Yeah I would watch most of those to be fair to them, couple of little surprise additions on their too. 

Going to wait until after Christmas before pulling the trigger because Rock For People's advent calendar and I want to know where these names are playing at Wercther before committing. But cause for optimism

[johnybegood]

Simple Minds is an amazing booking.

 

Surprised not to see Oscar And The Wolf announced.

While she sleeps trying to go even more mainstream I see 😄 In the steps of BMTH or Bad Omens 

[ParanoidTourist]

Great announcement with many good names! 

 

I can easily say I like the undercards way better than the headliners.

If you stay at any of the Hive sites you have access to the party tent which is good fun for dancing, drinking and socialising from the Wednesday night. With Hive "normal" they open up squares of land at a time - you get loads of folks waiting for the rope to drop - it's a free-for-all to lob your stuff down and bag space as quickly as possible. With Hive Myspace you can be together - they start at a one tent size plot (2m x 4m) and go up in increments to cater for pretty large groups. Benefits of Myspace are you're guaranteed a place together, you can get to your tent easily and the showers are free where they're 1.5 coin (I think) in "normal" (and the queue's not as long!)

Is the hive nightlife open from the Wednesday? Couldn’t find the programme from last year online

Some nice names with Beth Gibbons, Fontaines, Girl in red and Elbow. 

 

Beth Gibbons in the Barn I'd say, similar position to PJ Harvey. 

 

Surprised TLDP not being announced.

Already looking forward to the Christmas announcement as I’m sure therell be plenty more good names to come oh and poster split now. (Pretty sure they break down the stages from then).

Great first additions there for me and my group, surprised to not see Jimmy Eat World, Weezer and The Last Dinner Party in the first announcement, when do we usually get a second wave of names?

First couple of weeks of December with the first poster 

[brightside23]

Do you think it's still possible/likely to get Architects along with LP as they are supporting them on the dates around RW?

Thom Yorke in the barn would be epic! He plays quite a lot of Radiohead stuff during his solo tour.

Going by the setlists, the people in Japan are having a big treat. 

 

Hopefully he does something in Europe, i would prefer he plays gigs rather than festivals. Multi city hop would be nice in the spring. 😀

Yes, I agree, it´s always nice to see Yorke, the Smile or Radiohead in a separate gig🙂

 

But having said that, if a festival in Europe announces him, I`ll be there.
