Zijn we klaar met aankondigingen dit jaar? Waarschijnlijk wel (maar een verlaat cadeautje à la Rosalia kan altijd uit de lucht komen vallen), dus we kunnen weer de balans opmaken. De drop van vandaag kende 8 namen die geen verrassing waren. Goldband en Underworld lagen wat minder voor de hand en Blanco White kwam pas deze week bovendrijven na de bekendmaking van BKS. Amenra is niet genoemd en was eigenlijk al vergeven aan Graspop (hoewel Belgische namen nog wel eens willen dubbelen). Tenslotte werd Jacob Collier door niemand als kanshebber gezien.
De ‘Elbow-leak’ doet vermoeden dat Franz Ferdinand, Nia Archives en Weezer ook naar RW komen, voorlopig zijn ze in ieder geval zeer waarschijnlijk.
Alle wijzigingen ten opzichte van de vorige lijst staan weer in vet.
Zeker:
Deftones (waren al Zeer waarschijnlijk)
Dean Lewis, Goose, Gracie Abrams, Iggy Pop, Maribou State, Mark Ambor, Purple Disco Machine, (waren al Goede mogelijkheid)
