First time for us at Kendal this year - James are the main draw but really good range of acts already. Craig Charles slotted in somewhere would just nail it. I gather from previous posts hes a bit of a regular - brilliant at Wickerman last year. Saw Ocean Colour Scene doing the acoustic set before James last weekend at the Big Stooshie. Great sing along which would benefit any festival in an early evening slot this summer I`d reckon.
Anywayz..were heading down after Wickerman and are bringing the weans. Anyone advise me what the situation is with family camping ? Is there the Emperors Field AND quiet camping OR is it pot luck if you don`t buy a ticket for Emperors ? Noise doesnt bother me much but its normally beneficial if the kids have other young uns to run about with while us auld yins get on with the cider/sun business !

Heading to this ( for the James set really ). Looking forward to getting the festival season started. Does anyone know if there are dance/beer tents open after the main stages close and if its true that this will be at 10.30pm ??????

Evening All. Going to stick my name in the hat for the first time. More used to the smaller fests but decided it`s now or never ( so thats me AND the Rolling Stones ). Would be myself and the missus so can anyone advise how we go about this. Do I register and apply for 2 tickets or is it 1 ticket per reg ? Should we both register and ask for 2 tickets thus getting 2 chances ...?
Sorry if this seems a bit dumb.........be gentle with me - all tips welcome.

Got tickets for Sunday for the Roses. Plan B ?? a bit bizarre but something different I suppose. The Wailers is an interesting booking.....wonder if they will turn up at any festivals in the summer. Think they are playing all 3 Roses nights. Saw Craig Charles in Preston at the weekend. Great set and would be a great addition to any fest this summer.
Jimmy Cliff for Kendal !!!!????

i know its a bit poncy to quote yourselves, but the line up for solfests been announced and its about a million miles away from the kendal line up this year, big country, adam ant and kt tunstall look like the headliners. only ones announced so far that i wouldnt mind seeing are the bootleg beatles and theyre a tribute act !
i know its not all about the music so i'll still consider it, wether or not i wanna shell out over £300 on its a different matter though.
im still clinging to the idea that friendly fires may be playing, i know what youre saying about them being bigger than maximo at this point but i think theyre both headlining several festivals this year so maybes its true.

Im gonna put myself together an ultimate kendal mix tape to convert and educate the missus and daughter as to some of the bands they'll hear at Kendal this year, sell me some suggestions as to which songs i should be putting on it, any genuine fans that can convert me or convince me to see their bands at kendal-
feel free to slap in suggestions for as many as you want, just quote the list and add the tracks !

if i get a decent enough response i'll download the tracks from a legit pay site, make the cd for the car and anyone who made a suggestion wants a listen i'll send it on once the missus is educated !

Slightly off topic...... but someone mentioned Craig Charles earlier. Saw him at Wickerman last year and he was brilliant. For anyone interested he`s playing in Preston Saturday 24/3 - £12 a ticket. Looks like a student union type place so should be good. Here`s hoping he puts in a Kendal appearance.

Cheers, i've put a few days holiday in from work so I might take a plunge, was considering wickerman as well but the dates are too close to kendal for me, rather have them a bit spread out.
-
whats peoples opinions on which bands may be added in the next announcement then ? we had a fair stab at the first announcement. Looking at the line up you would imagine there will be a few more more recognisable acts to come.
with all the love shown for the 90's i see the farm are touring, playing the spartacus album !
-
Anyone like to hazard a guess at how quickly this will sell out ? and is there now no chance of "quiet" camping tickets or will there be a further sale ? Cheers.
-
Does anyone know if you can buy a day ticket?
-
Few people on the James site looking for confirmation that James are defo playing........
Nice poster though with their name on it ! That was good enough for me and tickets bought. It`s all indoors so the fact that it`ll no doubt be pissing down won`t be a problem.
-
Thanks for the info folks. Are the bands announced when the tickets go on sale ?
-
I'm convinced...CONVINCED its gonna be James as Sunday headliners with Charlatans on before them...CONVINCED!
-
James...........please.

Saw Arcade Fire at Edinburgh Castle on Thursday. Absolute quality.
There`s no doubt they could headline. Would think ( surely ) it could be the last chance for the Stones.
