Ha ha, we'll see, definately gonna do Wickerman / Kendal double as a family, may consider willowman and solfest line up dependant, love to think I'd make Glastonbury and have promised my daughter we'd do it, but with another bairn due late jan I can't see it happening next year for me.

I'm gonna get day ticket for wickerman next year and bring my kids up and let them have a taster of their first fest, was considering doing festival no 6 as a family with them this year but for obvious reasons gonna give that a miss!

See you there

You`ll love it sir. The line-up won`t be a patch on Kendal but much more spread out and the main stage area is atleast twice the size so plenty of room to lay your blanket on the ground !

For some reason, day tickets only ever available for the Saturday.

Ahh good to hear about the blanket, hopefully the buckfast monsters won't invade my space!

I will be driving so it will be a booze free adventure for me is there plenty of ginger?

In these parts there is always plenty of ginger.......... To make sure of it they even sell little tartan bunnets with a wee ginger wig stuck on - very classy.

Plenty of fizzy pop also available, Irn Bru being the drink of choice for the nominated drivers.

Hi,

I am currently in my third year of doing a geography degree at Northumbria Uni and am looking at the impacts that festivals have on their local communities and a particularly looking at Wickerman and Kendal Calling. If any of you live within 25 miles of either festival site, please will you complete m short survey to help in my research. Thanks very much.

Thank you very much,

Ellen

Hmmm, somehow I detect a hint of sarcasm mr Lakeland ! Gotta say though there was twice as much space for chilling out and less heed the balls than Kendal, main stage space is twice as much as at kendal as well, was amazed by the sight of around 30 sun tents set up facing the main arena, they'd be trampled to bits anywhere else.

You might as well go for the weekend Jonny, tickets were only about 25 quid more than day tickets. Plus the arenas open till 5am ! For your Utah saints rave night.

I'll take you a big decent tent, put it up for you in a field that you can park your car next to, that's secure with a fence around it and decent toilets ! Less than a minute from the arena entrance. Where else you gonna get an offer like that !

Yeah sound offer but you wake up when it's light , it's hot and stuffy and you can hear everyone farting coughing and even worse being sick around you! Al drive up show the kids and see what they make of it, and they can eat haggis and turnip for their tea , I'm sure they will love it!

Anyone got any decent photos to share then? I'll hopefully get round to slapping mine on Facebook soon, although I don't seem to have taken that many, got shed loads from Wickerman tho !

Going by the dates on the websites, the Wickerman / Kendal double won`t be possible next year. Bit of a shame really as they are ( reasonably ) close and will now be competing for business. No doubt that Kendal will have the better line up and with 3 nights will offer better value but I don`t see me driving past Wickerman to head South. Does anyone know if they have clashed before ? Hope it doesn`t happen every year now :(

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
