    It will not be the Libertines! If it is I promise to never post on here again. I'm confident Libs will not do it.

    If Truck are going for the typical Libertines crowd they'd book someone like Courteeners who would be a lot cheaper and probably go down better as they're a lot more relevant.

    Nobody's mentioned The Kooks yet, they're going on a big tour and would perfect headliner size.

    It will though'

  3. Has anyone come across Nina Nesbitt?

    It looks like she's on second in Calling Out on Sunday but from looking at her on youtube, shes had millions of views ("Stay Out" has had over 2 million views, "Way of the world" & "Boy" have had 1.8 million views each plus a few others with 1 million+ views).....she blows Lucy Rose out of the water with numbers of views.

    Does anyone have any idea why shes so 'youtube popular'?

  4. Not going to get to caught up on who might or might not be playing.....its probably far too early!!

    I read the comments re: the Vaccines with interest......are they really as "big" as is being made out? If so, i for one won't be dissapointed if they won't play small festivals. Pretentious and overrated are two workds that spring to my mind!

  5. I've done both Camp Bestival (2011) and Kendal Calling (2008/2012) and I know where I would prefer to take my children and it's not to the Lake District.

    Is it any good for childless older big kids ?

    Camp Bestival is a lot more expensive, but you get a whole load of more things for kids to do almost to the point there is more for them than the adults.

    Enjoy it, it's a brilliant festival.

    I also won't be returning to KC next year, just reading through the comments on the FB page and here after the festival, you get the feeling the organisers ain't really bothered about feedback.

    On the other hand, Rob Da Bank himself posts straight after CB (and Bestival) encouraging feedback, taking criticism and does take it on board and acts on it the following year.

    Not sure who it was who said the KC organisers hold their hands up and say things will improve, then nothing is acted on but that's the feeling and impression I get too.

    Hopefully you all have a cracking time next year and that the issues no matter how big or small people perceive them as, all improve your experience :)

  7. Crime figures have just been reported in our local paper, there was 39 thefts from tents and 2 from vehicles and the arrested 20 for drugs most of which were associated with the supply of!

    I think that's pretty good when you think in 2010 there was over a 100 arrests over the weekend! And it was only for 8000 back then
