  1. I sort of expect they (& other fest's/ tours etc) try to just rollover but a lot will depend on numbers, if they have to scale down to allow for an element of social distancing then surely they'll need to cut back on bands too? I wouldn't be devastated if the Foals couldn't make it though, was pretty underwhelmed with them being the Sunday main stage closing act

  2. Hi all, not been on for a while. Looking likely we will have to have a year out this year, was worried that they'd pull a banger out and I'd be proper gutted but although I really like the lineup there isn't one on there I'm devastated to miss. If the lottery numbers come in I'll seeyouinthefields otherwise 2021 for me. Rob

  3. Purchased my emperors fields tickets on the payment plan but will get main tickets later in year. keeping an eye on them though as KC have announced it will be the 15th anniversary so should be a big one... 

    With the change of weekend the closing night will now be Anji's and my wedding anniversary, better be a decent closing act...!

  4. Headliner wise...

    Orbital were good in my view but didn't seem to quite get the crowd bouncing.

    Nile Rodgers just fab.

    Doves were the absolute highlight, utterly brilliant just a pity that the crowd was a 1/10th of what it could have been with the rain.

    Courteeners were very dull, arguably the worst Sunday act I have seen at Kendal. Last 15 minutes they kicked it up a notch but otherwise completely flat and it was noticeable that there was a nasty edge to the whole festival this year which i think that booking played a significant part in. 

    I didn't know who Years and Years were but they were excellent. Gomez were a let down. Pigeon detectives played a great set also and the Cuban Brothers have the distinction of being the only group were the lead singers bollox had their own chorus. 

    I enjoyed myself again, as always was nice to meet up with a few of you on here for a few beers again too.

    Belinda cuming for the 15th anniversary???

    Can only see one real ale tent on this years map no sign of the one up near Tim peaks/ woodland area.

    wonder if that's just an omission or whether the Strongbow people have paid more to effectively be exclusive across that area?

    Yep, I probably should have done a summary, I’ve been a bit busy today. Thanx. 

    I’m leaving the wellies at home. Walking boots should do n

    never brought wellies, never will.

    always served me well, this will be my 8th on the bounce and as far as I remember it has never rained yet!

  7. 2pm Saturday it is and now no excuses for @SloopJohnB not to be there. In terms of how to find us, I look like the chap in my pic, @Comfy Bean looks like someone you should consider giving 20pence to even if he wasn't begging and if we can convince @thurlow84 to make an appearance he might very well have a traffic cone on his head. It's the Saturday too so I will be dressed in Safari gear.

    Just a quick question for anyone who has any knowledge of the Frontier campervan area. Reading the website again today it says the pitches in there are 7m x 2m? Seems pretty small for the width. Checked the dimensions of the vehicle i’m Hiring and it’s 2.5m wide. So is that a typo on the website or are the pitches in there that small? Says they are 7m x 7m in the other campervan area. Cheers 

    states in https://kendalcalling.co.uk/news  (scroll down the the announcement) that the size for that field is 7m x 5m 

    be just a typo
