IRISHMANC Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Anyone know of any? Got the camping and live music bug big time after coming home and want something for later on in the summer. I'd rather go to a BNP rally than to Leeds. Any suggestions most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniec111 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) http://kendalcalling.com/ if you want a few fairly biggish bands rather than just a peace out type of thing. £70. Edited July 2, 2009 by ronniec111 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Jean Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Beat-Herder is on this weekend - sorry, know that doesn't help Never been before but my mates all say it's a cracking little festival with great people and atmosphere. I'm setting off tomorrow! Keep it in mind for another year! There's also Moorfest (went in 07, had a top time despite the rain, tho I've heard the fest is a bit different now and apparently isn't as good - not sure why. It's in a different place to when I went). Thought of Shamania too but that's not on this year according to the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRISHMANC Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 as its an "arena" guessing at Kendal you can't take alcohol in when watching the bands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Jean Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm off there tomorrow too, it's about 20 minutes up the road from me... first time last year and it's a good come-down from Glasto. Nice small site, beautiful camping fields, a few "big" bands and then loads of mad stuff for all generations the rest of the time. Well worth a look next year.

talullah Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 hey I am going to that this year. Is it an "older" festival or full of young peeps? I am 33 and went to kendal calling last year and I felt incredibly old and out of place there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talullah Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Im considering going to this as well...whats it like? Is there much to do after the bands have finished at night? Is it an arena type festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
