ramragon Posted August 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Still think there's probably a market for a stage featuring that style, although they never struggle to sell out so I suppose why change it. Wickerman which was just over the border before it sadly went on hiatus always had the really popular Scooter tent featuring those sort of band's. Perfect for a smaller tent like the houseparty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby On A Stick Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yep, Duran is a good shout. The heritage headliner act. That'd do me nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadski Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 My group have dropped out. We are doing Beautiful days 2018 so with that I think it will be Chemical Brothers Courteeners The Cure The Foals Because thats what I have waited the last 6 years for. Loved Kendal over the years but time to try elsewhere. Do feel lucky we didnt do Ynot this year, it was mentioned. Bad luck for them. Vaccines cancelled and to think they could of "put a wetsuit on" and come to Kendal. That would of brightened it up. See you in some new fields!!! Peace out!

jkb1 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Seen the Charlatans about 6/7 times in the last two years & think they are top form & getting better. James are always decent, but better sound quality than last time please. Would rather someone different though. Prodigy would work, I think. Other bands I think that would work with the KC crowd include Specials, OCS, Weezer, Mumford & Sons. New Order, Public Service Broadcasting, Sleaford Mods, Moonlandingz, Dropkick Murphy's, Media Whores, also a few female acts this year, but please..... No Gallagher & no courteeners, not because they wouldn't work, but there were enough little arse holes there this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the trouble with booking them, gotta agree they tend to have an army of nutters supporting them. Might make a difference if the announcements are made after the festivals sold out though.

Liam would go down a storm but do they still want to attract the family festival crowd who have been loyal for years ? These bookings would have the potential to change the crowd dynamic. Plus Liam's voice is shot :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son_N Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I would love Imagine Dragons or Kodaline...or both! But I think I'm dreaming there! I'd also like the Cranberries to pop in on a small stage for a later afternoon set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scargilla Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Although I promised myself I wouldn't do Kendal next year if they booked some of the following I may have to change my mind :- Starsailor The Flaming Lips The Black Keys Yeah Yeah Yeah's The Enemy Badly Drawn Boy Tenacious D (ok it'll never happen but I still think they'd be amazing and great fun) Also agree with Prodigy, Specials, DropKick Murhphy's, Cure, Chemical Brothers. Also agree with no oasis style p"ss throwing acts.. as much as I love the sing along's it does seem to attract a complete bunch of T WARTS, or turn decent people into p"ss hurling monkeys.

festival fan from fife Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I would love to see Arcade Fire as a headliner. Also as said above Moby. Was at Hope & Glory at the weekend ( well on day one) lol. I really enjoyed badly drawn boy,Embrace and Razorlight. Ocean ColourvScene would be my perfect headliner.
