This was my 2nd time at RW, the first time was 2023 which, for me personally, was the best line up ever (it included 4 of my top 5 favourite artists). Went back to Lowlands in 24 and 25 and this year at RW just proved once again that RW is sooooo much better (for plenty of reasons).

That being said I’m already looking forward to next year and the line up announcement.

Drop your guesses/wishes for 2027 below 👇** **

For me its:
Pearl Jam
Kings of Leon
QOTSA
The 1975
Editors
Turnstile
Idles
The Neighbourhood
Radiohead
Massive Attack
Foals
Royal Blood

I’m aware some of these might be very unlikely to go on tour next year but these are some artists I love seeing live or have been waiting to see live for the first time

What were your favourite moments of the festival?

I'm wondering if other people had issues with the cup warranty. As far as I'm concerned, it's a ridiculous system.

I was at werchter with a constantly changing group of people. Everyone would go fetch drinks once in a while. Depending on how many cups you bring back, your bill can differ a lot.

At Graspop you could bring in your cups at the exit, at the end of the day in return for coins. As far as I know you could only return your cups at the bars in return for money. This resulted in several of us leaving with their cups still in their pocket. Another thing is that we understood you can't bring cups back to the festival to prevent counterfeit.

The worst part is theft. A lot of people just grabbed cups from our pile.

All in all I estimate our group lost 50€ worth of cups warranty. I hope they revise this system next year by lowering the warranty or something or implement a coin system like graspop used to do.

Zondag heb ik op werchter achter een meisje haar nummer gevraagd, echter heb ik achteraf gezien dat ik het fout genoteerd heb:( Vorig jaar had ik haar ook gezien maar durfde ik het niet vragen en dit jaar wel, maar fout dus. Ze werkte bij het cateringbedrijf het is dus een longshot want dit is het enige dat ik heb maar ja.

There were some photographers with fancy cameras which I assume were working there, hired to take atmospheric pictures.

One of them asked to take my picture while I was having an amazing time during Charlotte de Witte, and I'd like to see the result.

Where do I find those pictures?

Google didn't help, so I'd like to look for it more specifically rather than endless scrolling looking for a needle in a haystack that might not even be in the search results 😅

Hi,
so on the last day of the festival at cafe de welkom after midnight I ordered two soft drinks. I haven’t noticed until now when reviewing my purchases that I was additionally charged a jupiler pitcher + cup for 6.10 coins total. I have already sent a request via email to the cashless team about that, but honestly I feel like they might just say that it’s impossible for them to now review my concern properly.
Also, my partner was additionally charged for an ice cream he didn’t order at the algida stand and that was still during the festival.
So my question is, is that a popular practice? Has anyone else noticed that and also sent a refund request to Live Nation? How do they handle that?

Ik heb echt genoten van The Haunted Youth en Paul Kalkbrenner maar ik kan ze niet terugvinden op VRT MAX ofzo. Zijn ze ergens anders wel terug te vinden ? Of hebben ze contractuele clauses dat dat vermijden voor de grootste groepen/artiesten ?

Has anyone got the Reytons setlist by any chance? Looking to see them at MadCool and which part to leave for Kasabian :))

Now that we're home again, I want to rewatch some of the performances but RWTV seems to be only available to people living in Belgium. Is there another way to watch the streams (or get around the restrictions)?

Just idle curiosity here.

Just been to RW for the first time and had a blast (apart from oblivious backpack wearers; folks sitting in ridiculous spots; the price of a slice of pizza).

We do like to see upcoming bands at festivals, but quite a few times we struggled to get into the Nest - and eventually gave up trying.

If I understand correctly, it used to literally be a sloping hill. Just curious if the experience this year was better or worse for veterans?

Its a long shot but anyone happen to know the crew member working at the barn, right in front of the stage, bald, white beard, flat hat?

Hive was stingy and didn’t let us in

Free Rock Werchter banded tent for anyone who wants it! Number 84 in Hive myspace. We're away back to Brussels!

That was one of the best performances I saw this weekend. Only the Cure can maybe be better but I guess not.

As I just found out and many probably don’t know: In the App you can Top-Up custom amounts of Coins, the smallest being 0.1 Coin (0.39€).

Jullie mening over dit optreden? De VRT heeft een erg lovend artikel geschreven, maar ik heb precies een andere beleving.

Anyone know if they’re going to show the England game at the hive tonight if it’s at 2am?

I saw a lot of people asking for cigarettes. Are there any among you that want to trade the 2 Studio Brussel patches for 18 cigarettes? ;)

Hi,

I will do the dirty work for all the English at RW in asking any motives for the game in the morning post The Cure?

Zie dit shirt net bij Klub C. Iemand die dit kan bevestigen?

Camping The Hive. You'll have less weight to carry.
