Sabrina would certainly attract the younger generation. But also Radiohead actually given their tiktok succes.

I dont think its just tiktok mate. My daughter (16) and all her friends are all over Radiohead. 

 

Which makes me proud. 😃

 

Code day tomorrow.

Yeah, many teenagers are listening to them. My daughter was just singing Let Down in the living room which made me proud too😊

SOAD dates tomorrow too

So best outcome for me this year would be: Radiohead/SOAD/Gorillaz. And a pop star so my daughter is entertained as well;) 

 

Gorillaz would be such a poor booking, especially as a headliner. I dont think Werchter get Radiohead if they are doing Primavera, there is a big lack of crossover top of the pile acts but obviously can't rule it out.

 

What's worrying is that SOAD could take QOTSA with them here to sub, which would lessen the chances of Tje Offspring appearing. Currently I think SOAD and The Cure aren't very strong options.

Looking to be a good summer. Updated semi-realistic guess below.

 

SOAD / Twenty One Pilots / The Offspring

Radiohead / Lorde / The Last Dinner Party

Gorillaz / Kings of Leon / Wolf Alice

Sabrina Carpenter / Mumford and Sons / HAIM

Very likely that the teasers for Italy are I-DAYS.

They don't seem to be a band that doesn't need festivals. I get the likes of Coldplay, foos, Oasis or radiohead not needing festivals. SOAD less so.

Would be more than happy with that.   Think there’s quite a few there that’ll appear.  Hopefully another good trip over.

That line up would please almost everyone on the planet. Here's hoping!

Not close to Werchter but an indication of others about next year 

[Tigane]

System of a Down is doing teasers in many european cities for a tour that they will announce tomorrow.   No evidence yet, for teasers in Belgium, so i would not rule out  the tomorrow tour announcment to be solo shows, and then do some festival that they can announce later, like Rock Wertcher.

Let's see what will happen

TOP below SOAD I don't see at all and there is no reason The Offspring would take 3rd down. They subbed last time in 2016 and they are the biggest they've been in years right now.

 

I can't lie that LP, Green Day and O-Rod walked all over that top 4. I would definitely hope to get Spurs tixketstickets for System as there is no interest in any headliner apart from System. I'd heavily heavily struggle to attend a festival with the other 3 headliners. Gorillaz getting top spot 8 years later would be extremely weak too.

Tomorrow will give a good idea of where the festivals will be.

Foos again this soon is unlikely. They've actually played RAR every 3 festival years since 2015 so I can see them there, while RAR and Werchter I believe have shared 1 headliner in the last 4 editions.

Hope the combo SOAD and QOTSA comes to Werchter. Would be a strong day!

[sisco]

All eyes on the tour dates now as Saturday currently makes most sense for Werchter (if SOAD want a day between gigs)

Praying it is different but the chances have to be high. I don't think it'll be a clause as if Werchter can get LP, they can get SOAD. Be interesting to see who they've got on the Thursday to help shift big tickets as it's likely to be someone at least as big as SOAD, if not bigger. I wouldn't say there is much difference between LP and Green Day size wise generally but I this year LP sold quicker than Green Day across the board.
