Rock Werchter


This legendary festival in Belgium has seen some of the greats grace there main stage with there appearances since 1974. With U2 practically calling Werchter home during the 1980s the festival has seen everyone from INXS to The Chemical Brothers, Metallica, REM and The Who.
The line up is keeping in line with the greats of the past and this year is no exception. Oasis, The Killers and Coldplay are sure to be headliners along with the biggest band at the moment Kings of Leon.
There is also a host of female acts including Lady Gaga, Lily Allen and Katy Perry to represent female pop power.
This four day festival is in easy reach with the Eurostar leaving from London St Pancras to Brussels. If you are lucky enough to get a ticket once you get into Belgium, you can get a free train to Leuven which is a quick shuttle bus ride away from the site.
The benefits of this festival is the the fact there is only two stages and the chances of you missing a band are small as you are not running around trying to catch all the bands spread over a lot of stages.
There are a host of other bands that can be found on the website http://www.rockwerchter.be/en/home/
