Could see them slotting in to a mid afternoon weekend slot, never their biggest fan but I could see why they'd appeal to some. I ended up passing on the little comets gig, got a lot going on and still Jake bugg an band of skulls next month. Can't gan to everything !

I don't see Squeeze as a festival type band...may be wrong, but what is their previous festival history?

Agree about Erasure being too big but see Deacon Blue & Heaven 17 being good shouts....both of them are doing tours at the moment so they may be into the festivals next summer.

Here's one for you to think about.....Simple Minds.....they're doing a huge Greatest Hits tour next year in small to medium sized venues (tickets go on sale this Friday 26th Oct)....might be a good shout for Kendal.

Yeah I was a big simple minds fan in the 80's and wouldn't mind seeing them play, was gonna see them at Newcastle earlier this year, the around £40 a ticket price put me off at the time.

As for bigger than u2 in the 80's, not sure about that, maybes localised to ma lakelands pallet shed in the lowther area !

hows about them headlining one of the UK's oldest festivals this year?

Or them having played at loads of different festivals for the last 15 years at least? And it's probably the case that there's not been any summer in the last 15+ years where Squeeze or their two major members solo haven't played.

There's not that many bands who have a stronger festival association.

I'm glad you posted that lippy, I keep having little flashes of bands from the same era that I think would be good!

Erasure ..... ( maybe to big)

ABC

Deacon blue

Heaven 17.

Don't matter what your into everyone has at least one of the above that they would sing along to !

Caught deacon blue at Glastonbury and really enjoyed a cheesy drunken singalong, a band I'll be sure to catch in the future again. Got tickets for Jake bugg next month in the academy2 which I'm really looking forward to, I passed on the early Feb gig cos it was within days of the baby due date and I had visions of me being at a gig and the missus rushing to hospital ! Quite happy to have November tickets and amazed they're passing hands at more than 60 quid now. Pleased I got the 8 quid option when they first came out !

I think deacon blue is a winner !

Nargtadge if your lurking checking out what the fans think check out this video and if your unsure just ask Jon D and sacha macaroni cos they will appreciate it they were in their mid to late 20s when this tune was out in 1987.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
