The Black Keys, Placebo & Franz Ferdinand- don't love them, but still very good bands. Triggerfinger are actually very good imo. Saw them (well, half their set) last time I was there. Not mad about dance acts in general, but they do what they do. If someone like the Prodigy was announced that would be class. Would love the likes of QotSA, the National, Kasabian, maybe Nick Cave, few others... don't know who's going to be on tour. But usually the lineup is very solid.

When are you able to buy the food/Drink coupons online? and it says online that it's 12 cans per person.. is it possible to then go to leuven and buy more to bring into the campsite?.. Anyone have any idea of the prices in the carrefour there too or would it be cheaper to bring food with you? Thanks
Mr.S wrote: » The 12 cans thing is a myth, not sure why they say it, probably insurance and to promote safe drinking - you'll see people bringing 10 crates in with them to the campsites, bring as much as you can carry! Just no glass, and they do be pretty strict with the searches, usually opening up your bag and having a look inside. There is a pop up carrefour(s) on site which if I remember correctly was the same price as a normal one, deff not a rip off anyway. No alcohol or smokes sold there though. The queues are horrible in the morning. Theres a shop in Werchter but that sells out very fast and is pretty basic. Free shuttle busses all day to Leuven where there is tons of shops, Aldi, Lidl, Carrefour etc and they never run out of stuff, what we usually do is bring a few cans/food with us from home, set up camp and then get the shuttle back into Leuven to stock up. Prices in Belgium are pretty cheap in supermarkets, beer wise, a decent 500ml can can be got for 50-60cent!

I'd probably laugh in his face if you said I can't bring in over 12 beers! Although its probably a better idea to re-stock each morning (saves you carrying in everything at once, beers getting warm).
