Kendal Calling 2012

[Guest manc_al]

Wow! Was it something I said?

Welcome back to the forum eh?

I asked if anyone else was a little pissed off, not totally pissed off ;o)

Look....I've been to many festivals over the years. This will be my 4th KC. Being able to park next to my tent has been a huge advantage in taking my young daughter.

Not parking next to my tent will not ruin my enjoyment of the festival, it will be a minor inconvenience, no more than that!!!

Your aiming your rant about leaving the place as a shit hole at the wrong person I'm afraid....you need to look elsewhere!

[LOCHLAND5]

Ha ha , don't stress on parking your car from what I have seen , it will be your own car park next to your own field , minute walk .

No ranting really just in a bit of a mood after finding out the gig of a life time I have been waiting for since last October has bloody professor green on the line up. Gutted

Morning all,

As a newbie at KC, I am seeking advice as usual...

I have an early entry ticket so what time do the gates open Thursday?

Also how long is the longest walk to the arena? Am I right in thinking that the site is all fairly intricate?

Thanks in Advance (Apologies for my lack of knowledge)

you could get in from noon last year as far as i remember, longest walk from the fields was about 5 mins last year, most places you were right next to it and the walking was round to the arena enterances.

site was quite small and compact last year, plenty packed in to it though

[ramragon]

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?

[ramragon]

Thanks for clearing that up!

[LOCHLAND5]

no bother mate, anything else just ask, i would seemingly avoid questions about parking next to your tent however !

I assume you're talking about Stone Roses?

I've got tickets for Friday and Saturday and happy with the line-up for both those days. I'd be as gutted as you if I had Saturday...Pro Green not for me and Beady Eye were shite at the Apollo last year.

I was concerned about Wickerman being just 2 days, but with it being the weekend before KC I've book the week off and stay in the lakes.

I also get the impression that Wickerman is a much later night than KC so 2 nights will probably be enough...haha

Got tickets for Sunday for the Roses. Plan B ?? a bit bizarre but something different I suppose. The Wailers is an interesting booking.....wonder if they will turn up at any festivals in the summer. Think they are playing all 3 Roses nights. Saw Craig Charles in Preston at the weekend. Great set and would be a great addition to any fest this summer.

Jimmy Cliff for Kendal !!!!????

I dont want to keep claiming I know things, because Im literally just getting info of my friend but he's now saying ''The Enemy'' are going to playing Kendal.

Loved there first album but everything since has let me down big time.

Thoughts?

[DVG81]

yes - unfortunately nothing really that I can go to, shame - I see the view touring in the summer. potential second headliner?

[DVG81]

Enemy wouldn't surprise me - wouldn't fill me with excitement either

[Guest manc_al]

Both the Enemey and The View are great live bands....I'd be pleased with either of those!

[Flaminglippy]

Yeah...be happy with the Enemy.

Shaping up nicely!

Guy not heard anything from for ages used to be in the Stands - Howard Elliott Payne, not sure where he is these days but i'd like that also if Steve Kendal is reading this

Bingley is a great line-up! I was considering it but not sure about the camping arrangements with them being off site....it doesn't seem secure somehow

The Enemy?! Might as well just ask Shed Seven to play twice imo. The lineup's crying out for some variety from the next wave of announcements, The Joy Formidable would be most welcome.
