Kendal Calling 2012

[DVG81]

indeed, can you take disposable bbqs in the camp site btw? I believe there are bbq also?

Love the amount of old indie on...hope thats a route they intend to go down (along with newer stuff as well obviously)

[Flaminglippy]

I really don't. It's all good having great bands like James headlining but when you see outdated dross like Shed Seven, Dodgy and Feeder high up the bill, it's smacks a little of desperation and in my mind isn't too far way from having pointless nostalgia-driven tribute acts like nowaysis and The Complete Stone Roses, the excellent Semolina Pilchards obviously excluded!

Sound of Guns - new album out

Cast - new album out, fits with 90's theme

Jimmy Cliff - Reggae legend

All the young - Decent KC type band

The View - good fun band

all of them would make me happy.

doubt we will here anything for a month yet tho

[SharonStoned]

It won't be true, they're probably a higher billing band than Maximo Park these days.

[ramragon]

Good point, well presented.... but still live in hope

[ramragon]

Nah soz pal , think it was happy Monday's , I just laughed can't see it ,

[Flaminglippy]

Yeah...be hard to see where Mondays would fit in, unless it was before James on the Sunday. Agree though, would have thought they would headline

Morning all,

This lovely weekend of weather hasn't half got me in the mood to hit the fields!

A quick one, what has the weather been like previously? Only concern is if it pisses down, do they have the means to keep up from turning into a complete mudbath? (woodchippings and such)

Also is it likely there will be anymore big names announced? Did anything come from the second announcement last year?

i'll ask again cos shy bairns get nowt !

neil is there any chance of changing the forum so that we can start a few topics instead of a 540 post thread, theres still 4 months till the festival so i could imagine it going well over 1000 posts before the end, I know some of the main board festivals forums like Guilfest and Summer Sundae will have been lucky to have had 50 posts this year.

if it cant be done then so be it, im just asking

cheers

[goonerming]

We've already got Vintage Trouble booked for this year,how about giving the female version a call ,Janelle Monae anyone???

Tickets purchased with Thursday camping as well. Great to be going back and hopefully the weather is as good as last years.

Line up pretty good looking so far with a few big 90's bands. Hopefully the La's return this year for another sneaky acoustic set.

Working TITP this year so I will have 2 weeks to recover before Kendal.

Anyone else a little pissed off that you can't camp next to your car in Emperor Field anymore.....i'm pretty sure that this changed AFTER the ticket sale??

Also, catchin up on earlier threads re: other festivals, particularly Solfest....i'm really dissapointed about the line-up announcement so far! So much so, that i've devided to get tickets for Wickerman instead....anyone been to Wickerman before?
