Kendal Calling 2012

[ramragon]

Neil, is there any chance of adjusting the Kendal forum so we could post a few topics rather than one long thread ? cheers

[the salmon]

James are definitely in the running for festivals. I'm aware of them being offered around to promoters.

[LOCHLAND5]

Don't camp near the showers, people used them from about 4:30 in the morning and they were in use all day ! The noise of the pump was a head banger!

[naarjtie]

Has anyone who bought the pre release tickets had an email about early purchases of emperors field tickets yet ?

still waiting for mine

hoping !

[ramragon]

Sorry for the delay, we've been waiting on a presale link from t'boxoffice, rest assured it'll be with you later tonight (but not live until Wednesday).

[Flaminglippy]

great news, thanks for the email. look forward to grabbing them early and relaxing on thursday. can you buy the tickets for festival thursday early as well ?

[eFestivals]

here is hoping anyway, reckon this time next week they will have Kendal Calling, T in The Park and V festival on their list of summer festivals!

at a guess, that probably won't be the case.

When they've played V in recent-ish years there's been restrictions on them doing other fests.

There don't appear to be any restrictions this year from what I'm hearing, so I'm thinking they won't be doing V (despite someone at V clearly being a big fan, from their previous bookings).

Wonder if Kendal will start to do the 'selling tickets the day after the festival has finished' thing...money permitting I'd pre-book that early just to guarantee we'd be going.

Still no rumours...

Although I do know one band whos on I think...one of the organisers e-mailed me asking what I thought about a certain band (think it might have been an accident). I won't say as it wouldnt really be fair...not the same as spending hours trawling through the internet for clues, self-announcements etc etc

Just realised...this probably isn't normal behaviour for grown-ups...

NB...its not James I'm on about!

I'm going to make a point of catching Serious Sam Barret...if only because anybody whos got a name like an 80's wrestler must be worth half an hour of your time...

Another band who always seem to be here over the festival season that i wouldnt mind catching are the Alabama 3. Saw them about 3 years ago and really enjoyed the set, think theyd go down a storm on one of the stages.

I put a post on the official Kendal Facebook with a suggested group....the Kendal guys responded saying that they'd seen the same group a couple of weeks ago and agreed they are great live.

The group we both saw are in the UK doing a festival in the UK 2 weeks after Kendal.....can't see them coming all the way over the Atlantic just for one 'tiny-tot' festival.....maybe its my conspiracy theorist mind working....but you never know lol

The presale link was only being sent to people who bought their tickets in the november earlybird offer last year. The pre sale are only for the emperors field as far as i know.

if you bought tickets in november and havent had an email i would suggest sending them a message, theyre usually pretty active on facebook, more so on there than on here.

[ramragon]

Already sent Lillybef a PM on it As for presale ticket types there will be Emperors Fields, Campervans and Thursday entry.

Cheers.

good to have you joining in though, with you being a regular at the festival over the last few years who would be your headlining choices then ?

[ramragon]

We took up the earlybird last year, and Im glad we did, less money to think about forking out now

Hopefully getting sorted with the link by the kind fellas at KC.

As for who I would like to see headlining? Well i would LOVE Elbow, but thats never going to happen is it.

[Lillybef]

good to know youre sorted then, we discussed elbow playing last year and came to the conclusion theyd be too big then, think theyd be miles off the radar now unless they feel like playing a few more intimate gigs. Seen them loads over the years, without a doubt one of the festival bands around and guy garvey is brilliant as a frontman. His banter with the crowd is second to none.

[ramragon]

Elbow are without a doubt my all time favourite band and I love Guy Garvey to bits.

I know what you mean about them now being too big. We first saw them in 2001 at the Leeds fest, and have followed then ever since and seen them grow.

[goonerming]

The Enemy just announced a couple of shows and a new album today,great festival band would go down a treat at KC.

[Flaminglippy]

Adored the set by David McAlmont last year, heres hoping that there will be a few more gems hidden away like that.
