Didn't make it this year so hoping to get down next year.
Would have loved a day ticket for the Saturday this year though.

Would love to see:

The XX
Silversun Pickups
The Black Keys (playing only stuff before El Camino)
The Arcade Fire
The National (would really love if they played - don't think they're played EP?)
Lisa Hannigan
The Minutes
Ham Sandwich
Villagers
JJ Cale (highly unlikely but it'd be epic)
Sven Vath
Richie Hawtin
Vitalic

Some might play the Picnic again, who knows, the Picnic tends to repeat some acts quite a lot.

Yeah, I've seen some of them there before alright.. I think the xx played in 2008 or 2009 too. Totally missed the national but probably weren't on my radar as only got into them in the last couple of years.

Think they released early bird tickets before Christmas last year. Then they released the other tickets around March and you could still do installments then as well.

the Loyalty tickets (€175) were available 16th Nov last year for a week, then the early birds (€190) were onsale until after Xmas.

Cat Power is a possibility. Yum.

Isn't she notoriously incapable of overcoming stage fright and usually a wreck on stage?

Eroticplants

Not so much any more... I hope.
Who cares, I would pay money just to see her run off stage.

Blur have announced that they will be headlining Rock Werchter festival in Belgium next year.

The Britpop icons, who reformed this year for a string of intimate UK live dates culminating in a massive show in Hyde Park to celebrate the closing of the London 2012 Olympic Games, also hinted that they will play more dates in 2013.

"Thank you for waiting," wrote the band on their Facebook page. "Rock Werchter is about to announce that Blur will headline next July. We're excited.. hope to travel in 2013 to play to more of our lovely fans who we haven't seen for a while. Don't know where yet, we'll tell as soon as we do."

The festival takes place next year (2013) between July 4 – 7. Rock Werchter is Belgium's biggest rock festival with a capacity of 140,000. The only other headliners confirmed so far are Rammstein.

It is not yet clear whether the band will be playing any more new material for future live dates. Blur penned two new tracks – 'Under The Westway' and 'The Puritan' – for the Hyde Park shows, and the band have hinted that more could follow, with producer William Orbit telling NME earlier this year that the band had been in the studio working on new material with him.


Possibility for the Picnic?

Werchter has more cross over with Oxegen.

Meant sad....:o

just a heads up, Loyalty tickets (€175 last year) will probably be onsale in the next few weeks for 1 week, with Early Birds (€190 last year) on sale the week after.
they went onsale on Nov 16th last year, so worth keeping in mind for Xmas presents, or just to save 60quid off the eventual full-price ticket.

Clanket

Do they send out an email saying they are on sale?

I wasn't there this year so wont be eligible for the loyalty but I'm very interested in the early bird.

ghostdancer

yeah, they will.

johnpatrick81

what's the deal with the loyalty tickets? i was at this years, but I bought my ticket from toutless, how would I prove I was there? Dunno if I even have the stub.... is it tied into your ticketmaster account?

johnpatrick81

oh that'd be great, cheers, here's hoping!

don't worry, it seems to be a general thing. I wasn't there in 2011 but I was able to avail of the loyalty price for 2012. Just keep your eyes pealed.

It'll be 30/08, 31/08, 01/09

It's always either the last weekend of August, first of September or the straddling weekend as it is next year.

I have plenty of personal preferences but at the end of the day I just want the line-up to be a little edgier. Year on year the artists are definitely getting more commercial and I don't care what anybody says but it was a weak line-up this year.... but these are a few I'd like.

Boards of Canada ( new album coming out, so you never know )
Exitmusic
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
The Twilight Sad
The Knife
Tim Hecker
Soap&Skin

I thought that Boards of Canada and the Knife don't play live?

Anyone hear anything about early bird tickets this year? I'm pretty sure they were out by this time last year.

sile seilide

Maybe MBV will be play 2013- new material etc..

The Knife played a handful of shows before. They are rumoured to be touring with their new album ( when ever that comes out ) but still unlikely. Boards of Canada is just wishful thinking on my part but they too are suppose to have a new album out.

Yeah just checked my emails and they were out November 21st last year!
I'd say the early birds should be out soon?

shed head

Kraftwerk are adding festival dates for 2013, they would be epic if this was true, gigs are in 3d

ger71

Saw Kraftwerk in 05,that was the best EP. The Arcade fire,Mercury Rev, The Flaming Lips, Nick Cave, Human League. Hard to top that. However if The Replacements were to reform and play, now thats Rock n Roll.

Eod100

Anyone hear/see any info on loyalty tickets by any chance?

I know on twitter they're telling people news on early bird tickets will be released in the next week or two..

But there's been no mention of loyalty tickets so far..
