Kendal Calling 2012

[ramragon]

Thanks for the reply fella! Yeah really fancy it this year

Think Leeds Fest has just become all about getting pissed, I love a good drink but I want somewhere thats more chilled and there is more than just drinking going on.

Very happy with the sound of the real ale tent, love a nice ale. One more question, What time do tickets usually sell out?

Thanks again

[Flaminglippy]

im 99% sure i dont want the charlies there after the last few times i saw em !

[sums98]

still got my receipt from last year from 8th feb when they went on sale,

theyre late this year !!!!!!!

They're my shout for Sunday headliner...along with the Charlatans (I'm 99% sure the Charlies will be there!)

Do it anyway...

[LOCHLAND5]

Example....... Friday night headliner.

[LOCHLAND5]

i could see that happening. would make the wife and daughter happy. Personally i'd like to see massive attack on friday night, but would enjoy example as well

[ramragon]

Example are probs just on the boundary of what they could afford as a headliner , I would love to see massive attack but Fridays are always fresh !

Saturday mixed bag I would expect the Inspiral carpets at some point on Saturday maybe same time slot as charlatans last year plus don't rule out Cast.

Example has just announced he is doing 30 fests this year.

Plus if you follow the pattern of previous years T in the park have similar acts on there line up lower down so at the mo I can't see any word on the KC line up until T announces first could be first Friday in march!

[LOCHLAND5]

it was around march they announced the headline acts and a few more last year, another act that may have a shout as friday night slot are rizzle kicks. Not sure how much material they have to do a headline slot though.

[ramragon]

I see kendal have announcee that some major news will be released within 2 weeks. Who knows, we may get a headliner announcement that coincides with the ticket release date.

Thats quite good timing...get paid next Friday!

That said...only got the early entry and Emperor's Fields tickets to get.

[ramragon]

Is anyone heading down for the thursday this year ? we went down for the thursday last year and were debating what to do this year, was quite conventient getting settled in and sorted, however there was only really the monsterous garden area open and the lighting at night to that area was non existant. Still considering doing it again this year to stretch the festival out another day or so !

[ramragon]

Yeah...we definitely are. Love getting there a day early so you're all set ready for the first bands on the Friday. Good to just have a nice wander round and scope stuff out.

Plus...I don't think I'd be able to relax at home knowing people were already there enjoying themselves

Last minute predictions then...going for

Friday - Example

Saturday - Black Keys/Vaccines

Sunday - James/Charlatans

[Flaminglippy]

The timing of this may be good with James. Tim Booth tweeted they'd had a James conference call a week or 2 ago and today we got an announcement of tour dates in the US/South America etc, so evidently they were finalising dates and details etc. They could have also agreed to a number of festival dates as well but unable to announce them as that is down to the festival organisers, so would expect a couple of the festivals announcing in the next few weeks would include James, including KC

[the salmon]

I've been checking a few of the bands websites to see if anything has slipped out but nada! On the plus side, neither James or the Vaccines have gigs on Kendal weekend

[ramragon]

not the biggest suprise im sure but will definately be one of the big poster names for Kendal Calling -

Last Tim Peaks on Saturday 8am, it's gonna be big - it's been amazing. The real thing will be at Kendal Calling in July - see you there? x

that'll put an early morning smile on your face lippy, sorta hope they play a support role as opposed to headline act.

Nailed on weren't it! Agree though, hope they sub-headline rather than headline.

Wonder if him outting that on last night means we'll get an announcement in next few days?

he's talking about his 'Tim Peaks' cafe, not him.

easy come and easy go on the news then !

i cant imagine hime being at the festival and not playing some sort of set though, im assuming he's maybes taken over a small section of the festival or a tent to use as his own. be interesting to see what comes out about it.

for now i found this story on tim peaks cafe -

http://menmedia.co.u...anchester-store

while I think there's a decent chance of Tim performing at the fest and that's how come he's go a spot for his cafe there, I don't think he's going to be serving the coffee.
