[Whats wrong with 2018 line up and what would make 2019 better]

to be fair it is one of the cheapest festivals still so thats why the headliners are never huge

More like cheapest lineup

[Who would you like added in the next Announcement?]

Looking at the lineup as it stands it is probably fair to say 75-80 per cent of the lineup comprises of acts the average festival goer probably has never heard of papered over by a few solid but easily accessible elsewhere 90's era bands and a couple of DJ sets. 

I thought the initial announcement wasn't great but could have been mitigated if say the 2nd or 3rd tier of acts was strengthened with say similar standard of bands which have been added for example to Y Not it would have least given more depth. Obviously this hasn't turned out to be the case.

Instead it does make you question whether the prime objective with this years's lineup has been to put something together based on an incredibly tight budget with little regard to what people might actually want to see (and what people would rightly expect to see given the overall cost of the tickets and size of venue).

I suspect a lot of people going this year will vote with their feet and look elsewhere next year

I agree would be a great addition

[What's everyone think then?]

Have to agree line up for Kendal this year is pretty desperate. Unfortunately we bought tickets in August when they first went on sale on the strength the last 3 or 4 years the lineups have looked pretty good. What makes it more frustrating is that other similar sized even smaller festivals seem to have quite good lineups this year. Suspect it will be our first and last visit to Kendal
