I have seen Echo any the bunnymen supporting James two years ago and they were truly excellent. I have also seen Bastille and although their music is Killers lite they do put on an excellent live show. I have been to 50+ festivals and never seen a classical ensemble so the Bowie thing should be interesting.

I about to check out the other bands but any advise would be appreciated as good in the studio does not mean good live.

I have been to all 4 Festival no6's so if you need advice I am happy to help

Hey pal. Just looking for a bit of advice about the festival. 

Currently recovering from Kendal calling. 

Wants the camping situation like at number 6? Showered etc? We had to pay £10 a go at KC. Also wellies etc? Are they required or is it weather dependent. I'd go barefoot if I could so wearing wellies is a pain for me. 

Also any other tips you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

depends on your ages Shaun, but if your after a chilled weekend just suggest you stay away from the wolfwoods which is right next to the main arena entrance. if your arriving on the thursday then you should end up getting a pretty decent car spot so walking distance maybe half to 3/4 mile walk tops. site is very compact so nowhere is a trek away, water taps around the site boundaries so a decent water carrier is a decent shout. Jaegar tent (or whatever it is called) is a decent one to look out for (on the far end of the arena). pretty much just chillout DJ sets throughout the day is a beergarden style. haven't been in the night though. there is always 5+ things going on at the same time so we just tend to mooch about in the day stopping if we walk in on a group we like the sound of and then camp out infront of the main stage from early evening onwards.

Cheers pal. Will stay away from wolfwoods then. We are 34+ one guy in 40s so looking for a chilled weekend. Though,s aging that, most of the guys are married so it's a weekend away for them not sure how chilled they'll be ha. 

Really looking forward to it now. It's going g to be fun!!

Hey Everyone I'm Shaun. 

Be my first time at KC. Going with 4 other mates who are also all first timers. We are going up on the Thursday. We are all into our music, but haven't been to a festival in a few years other than sound city in Liverpool.

Any tips on where best to set up the tents etc? Essentials to bring with us? How far is the walk from parking to campsite? 

Can't wait for it all now, looks like a chilled festival and from reading on here seems that way too
