Rock Werchter 2026

[sisco]

Yep the app has changed too indicating that Gorillaz are actually the closer that day too 

 

Christ can’t believe one of Mad Cool’s headliners aren’t even closing at Rock Werchter 😂😂 (sorry couldn’t help myself)

I am genuinely asking - did you expect it to be the other way around? I did not even consider a possibility that Damon isn't closing

Normally the website/app list in the order they’d be and it was TOP indicated as the closer so I just presumed but you’re right Gorillaz make more sense

Festileaks thread seems to think Moby might be the name tomorrow. Will see what the morning brings...

[_MrDarkside_]

I think Kasabian, Viagra Boys, Interpol, Turnstile would be on the line up too, also Inhaler... 🤞🏻

[sisco]

Moby it is (on the Sunday)

[BlackFoxx]

Not a name I'm interested in. Bring on the package later this week!

[49Lawson]

Great addition for me that. He’s long been on my “to see” list. Having a great time at the minute with line ups being announced, just need to wait and see which brings the highest concentration of bands I want to see. Mad Cool currently in the lead but Werchter beginning to shape up very nicely. 

[_MrDarkside_]

If only they could bring Interpol, Kasabian, The Haunted Youth on Sunday too it would be perfect 🙏🏻

 

For the moment I only planned to go on Sunday for The Cure but it will depend on the line up of the other days 

 

Not a big fan of Moby but it could be nice before The Cure

Turnstile definitively not because they are on tour in August

Please not The Cure on Main Stage against Moby in the tent. Can see this happen... 

[BlackFoxx]

Festileaks reckons Moby main stage before The Cure. Seems a big name in Benelux, sold out Sportspaleis and also the recently announced gig in Luxembourg. Likely too big for the Barn.

I hope you are right! Would mean Moby not in the dark

[MasterOogs]

Once again slowly getting worse for me this 😂🥲

[MasterOogs]

I have no idea who Moby is ( maybe it’s my age ahahaha )

I think so. I'm late 20s and can't say anyone I know has every really talked or cared about him. I vaguely know him for the veganism / animal rights activism but I'm not familiar with the music at all.

 

Imagine that opinion might be quite a bit different if you're older.

Not got an in depth knowledge of him but I’d be amazed if people haven’t heard Porcelain, Natural Blues and Why does my heart feel so bad

[charlierc]

I still mainly know Moby for the Extreme Ways song used in the Bourne movies. 

 

But it was fair he's around, given that he is playing on Foos day at Mad Cool.

Mid 30s....Moby was a nostalgia act in the 2008 edition. He was huge for a time in the early 00s and has some timeless songs.

 

Not every headliner/ sub will be huge....case in point last year when simple minds player under green day.

You'll recognise his music because it's always used on adverts / films / games etc

What's the Moby live show like? Does he have a good reputation?

yeah it'll be a mix of guitar + electronic with some guest singers. It'll be a good show, but it's probably an act I would have preferred to see 15 years ago

[tmolvik]

The best addition so far but intrigued to see where (and when) he'll be playing. Despite how much I like him, I don't think he's headline/sub-material. With the Cure headlining Sunday I was planning on an early exit, so I hope he won't be a dance closing act 😉 Sub is too high in itself I think, so I'm guessing for Barn headline, which would suit me perfect. Pretty much the same as when Fred Again was announced early and solo a few years ago.

It’s been confirmed that Moby and The Cure aren’t clashing for anyone concerned

Given the likely lengthy set of The Cure, this means he has to sub or close on main right? Barn headliner would probably overlap with a long main headliner like The Cure? Think Underworld + Green Day had some overlap last year for example.
