Rock Werchter organiser Herman Schueremans talks about the Rock Werchter Festival. Sixteen of the total of 50 acts are confirmed. Besides Radiohead, Björk, Underworld, Metallica, Queens Of The Stone Age, Moby, Massive Attack, Coldplay & R.E.M will playing in Belgium. Schueremans explains how he got so many big acts: “It doesn’t always work out as you want. Usually acts plan to do a festival in England. But, then they realise that they might as well add another show on the continent. We’ve already booked a couple of headliners when bands started to call us. What do you do when Radiohead ask if they can play at Werchter? Say ‘Sorry, you can’t come’? This band is way too good for that. That’s why we’ve added a fourth day.” [from 3voor12 in dutch]
