Kendal Calling 2012

[ramragon]

I'm looking forward to catching tribes, they're on against dizzee rascal so I can imagine the calling out tent will be jumping for them. Saying that if they booked someone to break wind down a trombone whilst pelting the crowd with eggs it'd probably take preference over dizzee to me !

Its a great atmosphere.....you'll love it

[ramragon]

hopefully they'll roll out some of the other stage line ups soon as you would imagine that the cards gotta be taking shape by now. I think the line up that a majority of us want to see on here is the calling out stage, does anyone know if they've announced who's going to be 3rd headliner on it along with tribes and vintage trouble ?

Anybody seen the tribes live before I just got there album and it is quality all the way through

[kaytee...]

One of the nights in riot jazz there's supposed to be a special guest. I do hope Vintage Trouble do another set in there.

I turned up there last year from the sailor jerry's stage when Riot Jazz band were playing. They were brilliant, could hear their set numerous times during the weekend throughout the site. Before then I'd never heard of Vintage Trouble, didn't even know they were playing. I found myself right at the front, ear literally to the speaker and it was one of the best crowds I've ever been in, so energetic for 1 in the morning too.

Really really hoping for Jake Bugg, anyone heard of this guy? HUGE HUGE talent.

Chances?

[dannyfletcher]

The tribes album is great, but saw them play live on tv and they were average at best

[ramragon]

Average at best still trumps dizzee rascal like !

[Flaminglippy]

I think We Are Scientists, Inspirals and Shed 7 will be unexpected highlights!

Thurs - Overcast but fairly warm - 15c

Fri - Fair and Sunny but rather windy - 16c

Sat - Rainy and Windy bit horrid - 12c

Sun - Showery but breaks of sunshine - 13c

Yours?

You're really a doom merchant with that forecast Jacko lol!!

The Olympic Sun Gods will be out in force, delivering 20c+ weather directly from Greece....it's going to be a cracking weekend with no need for wellies, jumpers, brollies or thermal long-johns.

Make sure you pack plenty of factor 10, a decent hat and sunglasses....the guys on site better make sure there are plenty of ice-cream vans (not the solitary one like last year between the main stage & the calling out stage)!!

I remember chatting to the taxi driver about the weather when we were on our way to Kendal for the first time. He goes 'We've got a saying round here...if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes'. He was right...
