Blur announced for the Friday

Mushy

So thats the indie and metal headliners, just need the rock ones now. Id say Muse will be around, then hope for a surprise one....or Pearl Jam.

SteelyDanJalapeno

Not interested with Blur or Ramstein, or Muse if there announced, quite disapointed after last year, one of the best festivals I've been too

Furious-Red

Green Day will be headlining the Main Stage of Belgium's Rock Werchter on the opening day of the festival which takes place next year from Thursday 4th to Sunday 7th July.

Didn't go for the full weekend last year myself. Looking to change that in 2013. The addition of a third stage last year was great. Long overdue imo.

Furious-Red

Editors final headliner

kings of leon just added

any1 ever been to this before?

SteelyDanJalapeno

Was there this year and last, fantastic festival.

Shame about the line up this year.

lertsnim

I see Depeche Mode were added also

lertsnim

Definitely will head over. Love Leuven so will stay there instead of camping. The free buses are great

lertsnim

I have a question if anybody can help me. When booking my combiticket I wasn't given a PDF of my ticket to print out like previous years. I instead got something that I must bring to a box office. Does this sound normal to anybody?

People who've been before, if any, if it easy to get into the pit later in the evening? like lets say on the thursday, would it be possible to get into the pit for volbeat having been in the barn previously?

Any ideas when we might have one more line-up announcement?

Mushy

Bands were added the other day, so will be a while.

lertsnim

Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party and Sigur Ros in the barn on the Thursday will be mega

Mushy

Bloc party on 3rd stage??? Shocking. And sigur too. Biffy are small on continent but thought be bigger than that. Or else its second stage renamed.

Yeah, it's certainly bigger than the marquee from what I remember last year

Mushy

Oh well if its bigger then its understandable. Been 6 years since I went:-O

lertsnim

They put the barn where the marquee was and moved the marquee up a bit. I hope they don't go more than three stages in future. I always thought two was ideal.

If they added QOTSA I would die of excitement. Blur and QOTSA. Phowar.

For those that have been there before. When does it usually sell out. Is there a date you'd consider yourself lucky to get tickets after??

Gideon Graves

Thinking of going this year for this first time. Think I'll have to stay in Brussels tough but I was wondering will there be buses heading back after each day and if so when would the last one be leaving.

lertsnim

There'll be buses to Leuven afterwards. Don't think you will get one that late to Brussels though.

gucci

22 new names added to the line up, including Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and the National

gucci

BUMP

So is anyone going?!

I see they released a map of the site yesterday, looks similar to other years!

Less than a month to go! I have got the new national album, sounds pretty similar to their older stuff, but will be good to catch them live to see how they are.

gucci

Modest Mouse have cancelled their European tour,so they won't be at werchter.
considering they were going to be on at 12 on Saturday,i probably wouldn't have been there anyway.
replaced by the van jets on line up

I'm going, does anyone know can you purchase tents on site, or rent them?

Not readily available Pa, Last year there's so many different campsites they're only really equipped with showers and beer tents, and inside the venue it's beer, food and merchandise.

you may possibly find one around the village, but I'd suggest getting a big one here 2nd hand on adverts or donedeal between a few of ye and check it in one way. You can donate it to campsite afterwards.

Buy one in Leuven. People have done it in recent years

Is it fair to assume you are flying into Brussells? Surely get one there either incase there would be a festival premium on equipment in Leuven. Could end up forking out an extra few beer tokens on a tent that it sounds like your not plannning on bringing home!
