Rock Werchter, June 27-30, previously announced that its lineup was complete. 

“However, there was a certain amount of dissatisfaction surrounding the curtailed programme for the Thursday, and we were keen to resolve that,” a statement released by the festival’s organizers reads.

Ibibio Sound Machine joins the programme for The Slope stage on Sunday.

“And with that, the line-up for Rock Werchter 2019 is now really complete,” the statement continues.
