Well isn’t that exactly what it is. Like a British Summer Time in Hyde Park (but in Belgium instead)
Werchter Boutique 2025

Justin Timberlake heeft nog een groot gat tussen zijn optreden in Luxemburg op 8 juli en het volgende festival electric castle in Roemenie startend op 16 juli.
Benieuwd of hij wordt toegevoegd aan Werchter Boutique als co-headliner naast Imagine Dragons op 12 juli. Rock Werchter is zo goed
als uitgesloten.

Zou de affiche van Boutique nog voor het jaareinde vervolledigd geraken, zoals onlangs TW Classic dat in één keer deed. Dat verraste me wel, want meestal worden de andere bands van een Boutique of TW Classic ergens in het voorjaar, tussen de aankondigingen van Werchter en Pukkelpop, aangekondigd als zijnde het een voetnoot. Ik ben nieuwsgierig voor de affiche rond Imagine Dragons, hopelijk niet té sterk want dat gaat altijd ten koste van Werchter.
Het gat bij Justin Timberlake zijn tour tussen 8 juli 2025 (LUXEMBURG OPEN AIR) en 16 juli (electric castle roemenie) blijft intact. Het kan niet anders dan dat hij hier minstens nog één concert moet aankondigen. Waarom niet Werchter Boutique? Past wel bij Imagine Dragons vind ik en zorgt zeker voor een extra boost in de verkoop.
En de line-up is rond.
Opener Emma Bale (1:00 PM - 1:45 PM) has undergone an impressive evolution. From a vulnerable singer-songwriter, she has grown into a confident pop artist who firmly controls her career. Her latest album '333' (2024), is a trilingual trilogy featuring songs in English, Dutch and French. She is ready to enchant the Werchter Boutique audience.
Alex Warren (2:25 PM - 3:15 PM) uses music as his therapy. He processed his challenging childhood and the loss of his father in his song "One More I Love You" (2021), which caught the attention of a major record label. Hits like "Before You Leave" and "Carry You Home" quickly followed. While his songs carry a melancholic undertone, his live performances are infused with humor, softening the sadness. His latest tour is cheekily titled Cheaper Than Therapy.
Declan McKenna (4:00 PM - 5:00 PM) writes, composes, and performs all his music himself. He made a name for himself in 2015 with the ultra-catchy debut single "Brazil". His open view of the world is reflected in tightly crafted, impactful songs that address social issues. After his 2024 Rock Werchter show, De Morgen called him a "guitar hero with a message." He’s set to impress again at Werchter Boutique 2025!
Bazart (5:45 PM - 6:45 PM) is the most popular Dutch-language group of the 21st century. Their breakthrough came in 2015 with "Goud", which paved the way for performances at Rock Werchter and the Sportpaleis—an extraordinary achievement for an emerging band. Hit after hit followed: "Anders," "Denk Maar Niet Aan Morgen," "Hou Mij Vast" (with Pommelien Thijs), and the unconventional "Over De Rand". Live, Bazart brings extra fireworks thanks to drummer Mario Goossens (also of Triggerfinger) and bassist Tom Coghe (also of Goose).
Jorja Smith (7:45 PM - 9:00 PM) delivers R&B infused with jazz and soul. Her voice evokes Lauryn Hill, Rihanna, and Amy Winehouse. In 2017, she won the BRITs Rising Star Award, and her album 'Lost & Found' (2018) established her as the new face of British soul. Her second album, 'Falling or Flying' (2023), showcases the effort she’s put into creating her unique sound. The summer hit "Little Things" serves as the perfect business card.
Imagine Dragons (10:00 PM - 12:00 AM) will close the night with a spectacular show. As one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century, they fill arenas and stadiums, create epic anthems, and break records. On their latest album 'LOOM', Imagine Dragons found the perfect balance between their signature sound and fresh vibes. With tracks filled with deep bass, energetic drums, raw emotions, and Dan Reynolds' powerful voice, they’ll captivate the Festivalpark audience effortlessly.

Imagine Dragons rock band noemen als organisatie is toch ook wel gek. Begin jaren vond ik het al een rand geval maar nu is het toch echt alles behalve rock.
