    My apologies, you did great, my browser just didn't translate the text so I was scanning the poster with no regard for my eyesight. LOL.

    Rock Werchter 2024

    Pearl Jam's announcement of NOS Alive and Mad Cool is consistent with the leaked European tour dates, where Rock Werchter July 5 was included. We have no idea what their other dates are, but they're absolutely not packing up the entire team for two festival shows in Europe!

    I am not a KoL fan, but I find this comparison frankly hilarious. KoL has had far more success than Editors, and it's not close, in any country. And they're both still producing music, but Editors have added and lost original members, while KoL are the same band. The pushback against KoL is...

    I'm going to that day of Hellfest, because it rules. Oh, Werchter, why have you forsaken us?

    Rock Werchter 2024

    Pearl Jam just finished a US tour. They tour when they complete a new album, consistently. They play Rock Werchter, consistently. Both sides like that consistency and benefit greatly. There are very few available #1 rock and roll headliners that will reliably appear, sell tickets, and bring this...

    Off topic talk

    I can't believe that the last few threads have mentioned Sam Smith, Elton John, and Placebo coming to entertain us... And there's still transphobia being shared/discussed. How hard is it to ask people to just accept that another person's experiences are different from yours? If you have never...

    I find it hilarious that BMTH is coming up in this thread again, with this top 3 released. They are not the Thursday headliner, unless they're co-headlining with Maneskin there's no chance. Thursday will be a very accessible, enduring rock and roll band that everybody has heard of. It just is.

    Rock Werchter 2024

    As much as our analysis of the festival seems like it might be too much, I think the fans are pretty much spot on if we end up with Foos, Dua, Maneskin, Pearl Jam. Those bands have been among the top rumored all year long.

    Rock Werchter 2024

    The next announcement is likely Pearl Jam on Thursday, so perhaps it's sped up by the leak that showed them on many festivals? Or maybe that was completely fake. I don't know. But I do know coming out with sub-headliners after these three will cause a lot of people to buy other tickets. We're...

    Sure, if the Michelin star restaurant is a complete POS right-wing nutjob who has been exposed for racism, sexism, and many other horrible things. This isn't even a case of someone who got old and crotchety and started hating the world, this was young Eric Clapton: “Stop Britain from becoming a...

    Rock Werchter 2024

    They've already confirmed the expectation of a new album in 2024, they ALWAYS hit Rock Werchter when they tour in Europe, and they just finished their American tour, so yeah... I think they're a lock. They love Rock Werchter. Rock Werchter loves them. <3

    Rock Werchter 2024

    This is my thought as well, first and last top liners are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts with huge rock stars, the two in between are younger acts with a large following online. I'm in! I don't know if I'll be as engaged on Friday and Saturday (depends on the undercard) but if I were to watch...

    Clapton is an instant NO from me. I'd rather watch Greta Van Fleet cover Clapton.

    As an American, I think their timing was perfect to be a Eurovision winner. In the States, most people had no clue what the Eurovision song contest even was... but the Will Farrell comedy movie about Eurovision was watched by so many on Netflix, our listeners were more open to Eurovision acts in...

    Since it was mentioned, I have to say Coachella is just about my least favorite festival in the entire world, and I've been three times. It's not even the influencer hell, the footprint is WAY too small for the number of stages, tons of noise pollution, the tents are aggressively overpacked, the...

    I saw Dua Lipa in 2018 and was pretty blown away. Great show, and then I watched her episode of "Song Exploder" and completely respected her talent. Strong recommend you watch this if you're on the fence! Now if they can land Pearl Jam on the 4th...

    Rock Werchter 2024

    I'm not missing the point, I responded to someone talking about LsL festival initially. I just said that 2020 and 2021 are not apt comparisons because this festival was not happening. 2022 and 2023 they were on the RW bill.
  19. SonicSleuth

    Rock Werchter 2024

    Of course not, I'm saying if they are offered both and take the other and tell RW no, they may not get the call in the future. So it doesn't, in my opionion, change the likelihood of this festival.

    Rock Werchter 2024

    Difficult years to cite, since Werchter was cancelled in those years. Qotsa played 2018, had to cancel 2022 because of Josh's divorce, and played 2023. American bands frankly love to play Werchter, if they damage an existing relationship with the festival, they would not be happy.
