Rock Werchter 2015 - Geruchten

Ik denk dat ze best moeite doen om nog een leuke naam te boeken. Er is ook zo iets als trots en een lange termijnvisie. Of dat lukt is wat anders. Of iedereen tevreden zal zijn met de vervanger ook niet. Met het wegvallen is er gewoon budget beschikbaar.
Namen in de categorie U2, Pearl Jam, Coldplay worden her en der genoemd, maar die zijn allemaal niet haalbaar (niet aan het touren, niet in de buurt, zijn te duur).
Maar een Blur lijkt mij nog best een optie: is in de buurt, beschikbaar, niet extreem duur. Persoonlijk word ik niet echt gelukkig van Blur, maar zou op zich een goede vervanger zijn.
Feit is wel dat Rock Werchter meer tijd heeft om vervanging te zoeken dan Pinkpop had.
De kans op een waardige headliner als vervanging te verwachten is dan ook wel wat groter idd.
edit:
btw, Robbie Williams is ook nog vrij

Robbie Williams op RW én TW Classic gaat echt niet gebeuren (gelukkig maar).
Ik hoop (tegen beter weten in) op The Strokes, maar ook die kans is miniem. Blur zou kunnen, maar aangezien het voor hun lastig wordt om 2013 te overtreffen, is de kans groot dat ik dan maar even bij Oscar en SBTRKT binnen loop. We zullen het zien...

Maar zal idd wel niet vanwege TW.Ik denk ook eerder dat ze van Florence de headliner maken en daarvoor dan dEUS of the Libertines plaatsen.
Hoewel ze ook echt wel ( moeten ) beseffen dat ze het festival voor de Foo's verzet is en daardoor een oplossing a la dEUS niet echt gepast is, waar ze daar in andere omstandigheden evt nog wel mee wegkomen...
Blur zou naar mijn mening idd de beste en meeste redelijke oplossing zijn

STUKJE BBC:
Glastonbury: Who could replace Foo Fighters?
The phones will be red hot at Worthy Farm as Glastonbury organisers try to book a last-minute replacement for Foo Fighters.
The US rock band had to pull out of their headline slot after Dave Grohl fractured his leg in a stage fall.
It's not the first time the festival has had to book a last minute replacement - U2, the Stone Roses and Kylie Minogue have all cancelled appearances due to illness or injury. It's almost as if the Pyramid Stage is cursed...
But who is likely to step in for the Foo Fighters on 26 June?
FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE
Already on the bill, and basking in the afterglow of their third number one album, Florence and the Machine are the most likely choice.
Proven festival headliners with a set of earthy, mystical songs they fit neatly with the Glastonbury ethos.
Hits like Kiss With A Fist and Shake It Up will sound perfect as the sun sets in Somerset, and their promotion up the bill would help settle a gender imbalance.
But singer Florence Welch should be wary of the curse of the Pyramid Stage - she broke her foot while playing Coachella in April.
BLUR
Never bad at Glastonbury, the Britpop survivors played the gig of their lifetime at the 2009 festival. The set was so emotional, Damon Albarn even broke into tears after To The End.
A brilliant new album, The Magic Whip, would stop a 2015 set being a repeat performance with songs like Ong Ong and Lonesome Street going down particularly well at the Isle of Wight Festival last weekend.
Albarn also has form in helping Glastonbury out of a crisis - he brought his animated hip-hop collective Gorillaz to the main stage when U2 dropped out in 2010. Although it was a poorly received set.
AC/DC
A natural substitute for the hard-rocking riffage of the Foo Fighters, AC/DC were widely rumoured to be in the frame for Glastonbury earlier this year.
But the band poured cold water on the story, with frontman Brian Johnson describing the festival as "wellies and corporate".
But after hearing Metallica had played in 2014, their attitude softened. "If they ask… OK," said guitarist Angus Young.
Detractors say the band has been writing the same exact song over and over for years - but it's a pretty good song, and Glastonbury would be a perfect place to air Highway to Hell and Back in Black.
Luckily, they're between dates on their European tour on 26 June.
COLDPLAY
Emily Eavis probably has Chris Martin on speed dial. The band are a reliable Glastonbury stalwart, with anthems aplenty.
Glastonbury also gave the band a considerable leg up in 2005, when they were booked to lead the Pyramid Stage while still relatively untested. Nevertheless, they were the talk of the festival afterwards, thanks to a particularly heartfelt rendition of The Scientist.
A headline slot would give fans a rare chance to hear last year's well-received Ghost Stories album live - the group only played two UK dates on their brief world tour.
But they might want to hold fire until next year. Chris Martin has hinted the band's seventh studio album could be their swansong.
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
Assuming Dave Grohl, the nicest man in rock, doesn't want to leave Glastonbury in the lurch, he could put in a call to his good friends Queens of the Stone Age.
Josh Homme's band played a blistering headline set on Glastonbury's Other Stage in 2013, drawing a sizeable crowd despite being scheduled against Beyonce.
They're currently in the recording studio, but have scheduled to play Rock in Rio this September, which means they could be battle ready.
TAYLOR SWIFT
A popular suggestion on social media, Swift is certainly riding a wave this year, thanks to the unassailable pop of her new album 1989.
Handily, she's in the UK next week and has Friday night off before playing the BST festival in Hyde Park the following day.
But it's been a long time since Glastonbury booked such an unashamedly commercial act as its headliner - and while the crowd would undoubtedly lap up Shake It Off and Blank Space, they might find the country elements of her set unpalatable.
Maybe she could win the crowd over with a headbanging cover the Foo Fighters' Best of You?
DAFT PUNK
Every year, a rumour sweeps around Glastonbury that Daft Punk are "definitely" playing a secret set over the weekend.
Why should this year be any different?
PRINCE
He's been listed as a potential headliner for years, and at one point looked set to sign up for 2015. For whatever reason, negotiations fell apart but a last-minute booking would suit the star's hit-and-run philosophy.
If the Minneapolis musician did pop, it would undoubtedly go down as one of Glastonbury's legendary performances. He's at the top of his game, thanks to his muscular, perfectly-drilled new band 3rd Eye Girl - and, as he's fond of telling audiences: "I got so many hits we don't have time to play 'em all."
But even just the staples of his set - Raspberry Beret, Purple Rain, Let's Go Crazy, Kiss, Little Red Corvette - would be the envy of any headliner.
FLEETWOOD MAC
The Chain, Don't Stop, Tusk, Black Magic Woman - Fleetwood Mac have no shortage of hits to supply to the Pyramid Stage. But, it seems, they're not that keen on travelling down to Somerset.
Their Isle Of Wight set last weekend was billed as a "worldwide festival exclusive", and organiser John Giddings claimed Glastonbury bosses were green with envy.
"Michael Eavis said, 'How did you get Fleetwood Mac?' I said, 'I paid them!'" he told Music Week.
If the band were to capitulate, though, they'd have to cancel or postpone a show at London's O2 Arena, which is booked for the same night.

En zoals altijd kan je er in Engeland op wedden:
Florence + The Machine (Evens)
AC/DC (3/1)
The Stone Roses (4/1)
Taylor Swift (6/1)
Blur (8/1)
Ed Sheeran (10/1)
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (10/1)

Misschien zit hier de naam van de Rock Werchter vervanger ook wel tussen.

Ja, ik denk ook eerder dat het een act als Deus wordt. Als ze AC/DC voor deze editie niet eens in november ofzo al konden boeken, dan gaat het in die paar dagen tot het festival zeker niet lukken. Verder zou The Who ook echt geweldig zijn, maar dat is denk ik hetzelfde probleem als bij AC/DC.
dEUS als vervanger voor foo fighters zou schande zijn, ter vervanging van één van de groepe die op de main staan (Rise Against, Eagles of Death Metal), daar zou ik kunnen inkomen. Maar zeker niet als vervanging voor de Foo Fighters
Ondertussen maakt het me niet echt veel meer uit wie er komt, dit moet ongeveer de slechtste editie zijn van werchter ooit! Weinig grote namen, een dag die niet uitverkoopt, tal van annulaties en nu de hoofdact die cancelt.
Werchter kan niets doen aan het feit dat grohl zen been breekt. Maar hadden ze wat meer grote bands geboekt ipv proberen met zo'n laag mogelijk budget uit te verkopen. Dan hadden ze nu niet dik in de problemen gezeten.
Naar volgend jaar toe een betere affiche zonder dat we daar ook nog eens extra op moeten betalen zou al mooi zijn!
