The Slope is natuurlijk het lastigste om te voorspellen (want veelal nieuwe namen), maar toch zijn 17 van de 24 namen van afgelopen maandag al eerder genoemd op het forum (vorig jaar waren dat er 11 van de 24).
Het doek viel deze week voor een aantal waarschijnlijke namen. Daar stond tegenover dat twee artiesten zichzelf alvast bevestigd hebben (Cory Wong en Harry Mack). Nog geen garantie dat ze komen, zo had letlive bij de vorige editie aangekondigd dat ze op RW zouden staan en waren ze uiteindelijk niet op de affiche te bekennen.
