Rock Werchter 2022 starts tomorrow. The Belgian festival will largely have a sunny week. However, not everything is going well. At the last minute, a number of shows are under fire.
Sam Fender unfortunately had to cancel due to tonsillitis, which is an inflammation of the tonsils. His performance in St. Gallen, Switzerland has also been cancelled. The substitute at Rock Werchter is the Belgian artist Charles†
Meanwhile, the performance is on this Friday from Metallica not 100% sure yet. Someone in or near the band has contracted the corona virus, as we reported here earlier. As a result, the performance at Frauenfeld Rocks in Switzerland cannot take place today. The organization of Rock Werchter has announced on Twitter that it is in contact with the band. There is still hope that the show can continue on Friday. We are monitoring the situation and will of course keep you informed.
Rock Werchter 2022 takes place from June 30 to July 3 in Werchter and is completely sold out. The War On Drugs, Rag’n’Bone Man, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Killers and Keane are some of the big names playing at the festival in Belgium this year.
