On the official website, on the Thursday page. Here’s the quote....
There are a handful of Thursday tickets left available here and with one more artist left to add, you won’t want to miss this! Thursday Entry Tickets are only valid in conjunction with a Full Weekend Festival Ticket.
https://www.kendalcalling.co.uk/thursday
here’s the link
ah cheers, I'd missed that!
be great if it was another Amazon presents like with Happy Mondays a few years back but would they have to be on before Lister? (thinking stage clearance/set up times for Hacienda) or possibly acoustic set???

The Thursday times, are we expecting them to change due to Kendal saying theirs another artist to announce? Any one have any ideas who it could be?
where does it say 1 to be announced? there has been pretty much 5 acts each year on main stage for Thursday and that is what we have already.

a nice addition will be Catfish playing to a full moon on the Friday night!

The qoute boxes are broken so lets start again aha.
1. That's cool, speaking of liquid fuel, what are the ques for the bar like, prices, and what's on offer?
2. Ah cheers, gather the walk isn't the worse?
3. coming on Thursday, gotta get my boogie on for the Hacienda Classical of course
Whilst I agree it's going to be glorious, I learnt from my first Leeds to camp at the top of hills with the enterance facing downhil 
Cheers for all the replies, the excitement is starting to build!
Generally £4.20ish a pint for real ale inc the 2 real ale tents, lager I think is cans but wouldn't be sure on £. Always a spirits tent or 2 but not sure what this year. And strongbow tower is similar £ to ale

What's the deal with trolleys hire at KC? I've got a 7 year old and we've been going to Deershed for the last 5 years and Mr Trolley is always there renting trolleys to get our gear from the car to campsite. Is there something same/similar at KC?
They do but in your shoes I would be tempted to hire a rent boy. They will carry all your stuff for you.
Ps as much as this sounds both crude and ridiculous, they do in fact exist

. KC is really compact, 15 minutes slow amble would get you Chai Wallahs to Eden (which are probably the 2 furthest from each other)
Oh that's cool, so it's good for stage hopping then if you're not feeling whatever you're watching?
Yep brilliant for that, my joints are knackered and I manage to see a band on every stage at some point or other (with liquid fuel of course!)
2. Wolf Woods, right next to the Arena Entrance and Glow Stage. Warning though if you can grow facial hair you may feel a bit out of place!
Been having that issue at Leeds fest for a few years now, doesn't really both us, as long as people can put up with us idiots staying up until sunrise every day it's fine.
I doubt you will be in the minority in that field to be honest, enter main gate and head right you will be sound
3. Glow doesn't tend to start until early evening with headlines generally on after Main stage closes. I think it closes at either 3 or 4am
Ah ok that's cool thanks.
Does camp fill up quickly? Travelling from Manchester so it'd be good to have an idea of how early to set off.
It can do but like anywhere really, you coming on Thursday or Friday? Thursday no issues, Friday you might be a bit snug but you will find somewhere. There is an additional area this place has lower down, always looks more spacious as has a bit of drainage issues but won't be a concern this sunny year!

First time doing Kendal this year, and I'm just wondering what it's like getting from stage to stage? Where's best to camp for those wanting to go pretty hard every day? And what's the crack with the Glow stage, obviously loads of dj's are on, but it's not on the clashfinder so is it like they play on till later or is it on at the same time everything else is?

Hi all,
Long time lurker so I thought I'd pop on here to say hello.
My name is Sharon, 2015 was my 1st Kendal it rained, it was muddy but I loved it!
Myself and my husband Jp are taking our 16 year old son this year for his 1st festival experience.
Fingers, Toes & Eyes crossed for belting weather!!
Weird thing is.... my husband is called Jp and we're from Hartlepool. There is a guy on here with the name Pooly JP, from Hartlepool however is not my husband! I love strange sh!t like that !
Are you sure he is not your husband? you may have inadvertently stumbled on his secret efest life!!!

Looks very variable. Which weather forecast is this?
Accuweather, the site used by lots of walkers and climbers so pretty reliable, saying that same rules as for all, if it is outside of 48 hours it is likely to be guff!

It's actually getting better as we get closer...

Good idea this but unfortunately I can’t help you.
Hopefully someone can As the start time and finish time on the main stage will be pretty much the same. I had thought there were less acts on the main stage this year but apparently not ?
you have been saying that since the first announcement but we counted and pretty much the same number.
Major bonus for me are Dub Pistols on at a decent time, they were ace last year but played to maybe 200 of us.
Thursday looks ace
Sunday gives me a perfect chill on the hill (I have had 2 people ask me why Bob Marley isn't playing with the Wailers anymore!?!)
Friday night straight from Catfish into HouseParty for Howling Rhythm
...Are the Baggy Mondays opening Calling Out on Friday??? Is this our Meetup sorted????

Hi, I am new to this forum and just need a few questions answering and it would be much appreciated.
Its my first time at the festival and will be travelling via a transit van so we can fill up with all our gear. We have paid for parking and wanted to know if they are fine with vans parking in the car park? It doesn’t say on the ticket or website if it is only cars. I don’t fancy driving up from Sheffield and having to go back because we can’t get in. Also can you make more than one trip back to the car park for bags etc?
Cheers
yes you will be fine with travelling in your van (as long as you don't try to sleep in it!) and you can make many trips back and forth. Some people have trouble with security doing this but generally because they give them lip and attitude! Security also get a lot more chilled as the weekend goes so might be worth leaving some of your beers in the van and get them on Saturday morning etc

Hi All
I have a spare couple of Adult tickets including the Thursday night (*now with added lineup!) available if anyone is short

First time for me and a group of friends. A few questions if someone doesnt mind answering (sorry if they have been asked and i missed them)
Staying in general camping is there showers there or do we have to pay for the soap opera to shower?There used to be pay2go ones at about £4 but there are water points everywhere and you are at a festival!
Smuggling alcohol into arena? Absolute nightmare or ok as long as your not obvious??Yes and no, be clever and walk in behind a bunch of young egits who will attract all the security attention.
Average walk from car park to camping (think we are in the quiet area and arriving friday lunch time)5/10 mins maybe?
Rough prices for drinks in the arena around £5 i guess? is it tokens or just card
Cash and Card, £4.20 for real ale, £5 for lager cider if you must.
Thanks in advance im sure i have more questions to follow ??Tried my best, please feel free to pose anything else

If anyone had Lee Ridley (the Lost Voice Guy who won Britains Got Talent) then you also get a point as he has confirmed.

Given the Calling Out tent is apparently going to be bigger, does anyone know if the House Party will be too? As good as the concept of it is, it's a bit of a nightmare when it's busy and far too hot.
Have we actually had it confirmed that the Calling Out is growing? I cannot see official confirmation anywhere and I'd argue that their lineup is weaker than previous years.
