too bad they play in the afternoon in full sun on the mainstage. Deftones in the previous slot, just like the bill of 2001 (but no "Passenger duet at the time). Bands playing after Tool are Manu Chao, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Black Eyed Peas.

[loadedmemory]

what? tool in the afternoon??

is de schuur dumb? it should at least be dark...

they should headline dammit!

[Reverend Max]

Last time they played in the afternoon too. Tool + open air + daylight = crap... (sry)
I'm waiting for a good concert venue.

[loadedmemory]

luxembourg man! not too far out, still tickets available, and (for students like me) before the exams...

I'd like to go, but I do have an exam couple of hours later... :(

[Apex]

I really thougt of going to Luxembourg, but it is difficult to get a day off. But if you can't go to Luxembourg, Pinkpop is also a good alternitive. In fact, I'm going to both festivals.
TOOL + open air + daylight > TOOL + Sportpaleis Antwerp
My intestins have better acoustics than that steal box.

[Volrath]

It seems we can rest assured, Tool will NOT be playing in the middle of the afternoon. This comes directly from the humo website:

Black Eyed Peas
Red Hot Chili Peppers - 23.30 u.
Manu Chao Radio Bemba Soundsystem - 22 u.
Tool

There is a big chance that Tool will start playing at 20.00 so it will be more enjoyable than 4 years ago. Can't wait.

Where do I buy concert tickets in Europe? I'm so confused and don't want to pay a scalper 300 Euro for a ticket!

1h-setlist...daylight... you get the picture ;)

[guanche001]

I saw them @ ozzfest 02 nijmegen in the bright daylight.. and apart from the brilliant performance I missed the 'tool experience'... I hope it rains at werchter :-) !!

goddamn.... I shit the bed again

[TiVa]

ha, i'm allready happy they come back to belgium again after 4 years! so whatever it's daylight or not, i'm sure i will be in a higher atmosphere.... is there anyone who is going to werchter planning to bootleg the show?????

someone should kill manu chau or the peppers, maybe tool can play at night then :p jk

Or get Herman Schueremans to let them headline the fucking Pyramid Marquee, sjeez.

[TiVa]

the marque isn't the same as on mainstage, but yeah, it would be dark... pray to god that there will be an eclips or something ;d

Maybe the BEP are forgotten by then. This happens sometimes with that kind of bands. Commercialism rules!

lol lol
definitely true!

[TiVa]

well, still, we should shoot them! they should headline a day if you ask me... some of you guys were at the bilbo on the 28th of april?? that's the spirit, but noooooo, let tool play at 8... goddamn

Yes, I was there in Leuven. Then I got the dissapointing fact of sold out albums, while there were just three people before me. By waiting, I missed also the night launch at Stubru. Pearl Jam cd's however, were plentyfull. So if Pearl Jam would play at Werchter, considering the fan basis. They should play befor Manu Chao. I'm still trying to rationalize this.

[Pacal Votan]

It's too bad about the timing of this gig so early in the evening, But it's still better than watching the BEP:) Kinda reminds me of those morons at the Lowlands Festival who planned DJ Shadow at 3 in the afternoon. Some people just don't get it.....

Was also there in Leuven. No way to rationalise the fact that a) Tool are fucking populare around here now and b) that still does not give them any more credit in the eyes of commercialist scumbag concert promotors (or sponsors, given the lukewarm response 10.000 Days got in Humo). Fuck 'em.

[grasmaaier]

I was there in Leuven too. In fact I was the second person to enter the shop! w00t

[TiVa]

well... 9 more days... still no pepper/bep/manu chau member died...

[Mark Heijblok]

Although i'm seeing TOOL two times in 3 days, i definitally don't like the idea of them playing in bright sunlight. I hope the organisation re-arranges the line-up.

[TiVa]

lol, i really don't think so unless there's someone cancelling... peppers before tool, lol i wish, but you know: impossible, black eyed peas for tool? HELL YEAH but you know: impossible, manu chao for tool? FUUUUUUUCK YEAH but you know: impossible, all those last names are just stubru music AND shitty donna music, they have a much larger commercial base and stuff like that, so they don't going to listen to some toolfans which are saying: tool should play at night!!! the biggest commercial bands allways play more at the end of the day, nothing we can do about it, except hoping that some other band want to cancell their show

[skarr]

I said fuck TW and went to Pinkpop instead

First time seeing Tool and they owned Pinkpop!

TOOL owns every band from nowadays.. Except some obscure melodiatic techno/elektro producers..

[TiVa]

[Mark Heijblok]

nog 2 nachtjes slape!! yeah!!!

Now we will see who the real headliner is. I hope they show the images on the sidescreens, so that we can see at least something.

Dank u. Ik zal omstreeks 18u komen zodoende heb ik nog tijd om Schuermans te lynchen voor zijn belachelijke programmatie.

[loadedmemory]

Be sure to get there a little early.. Everybody who has a four-day ticket needs to get their arm-bracelet on thursday, so that usually takes a while.. i think last year i lost about an hour just queuing to get in..

see y'all there!

Thank you to remember this, I almost forgot. To me the best place to experience the concert is after the first corridor: good view en good sound. Although I have to withstand some moshpits during The Deftones, there is where I will stand. By the way, the left side always has more space than the right.

[TiVa]

see you all there!

[toolish]

see you all there!

yes. see you. btw they played Opiate last night. We should be so lucky.

[guanche001]

today's the day!!!
