The artists on the Rock Werchter Encore poster will largely be added to the TW Classic poster, on Saturday 25 June. Then Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds will be the headliner. Cave recently lost a son for the second time, but his planned festival concerts are still going on for the time being, as announced on his website† “And his booking agent has confirmed that to us,” Nele Bigaré of Live Nation told VRT NWS.
TW Classic is therefore being expanded from one stage to three stages. The concert tents The Barn and KluB C, which are a fixture during Rock Werchter, open their doors a week earlier, including outdoor screens.
In a written response, organizer Herman Schueremans says that “TW Classic has particularly good ticket sales”, but that “partly due to the addition of the two tents, there is still sufficient ticket capacity to combine both day festivals.”
