Looks like wickerman are making an announcement just after midnight tonight, considering the festivals are on the same weekend and relatively close together and similarly sized it'll be interesting to see if they're gonna name their headliners, months ahead of when they did last year. Get the feeling with the dates clashing they won't want to wait until Kendal announces theirs first and people make their decisions early. Shame really because it made for an excellent couple of weeks last year doing wickerman one weekend and heading to Kendal the weekend after.

To be fair to wickerman they are usually full to capacity as well, only thing is that the arena space looks at least twice that of kc so you always got the perception it wasn't overcrowded even at the main stage.

Wickermans dates are governed a lot by when t in the park is as they use a lot of the same staging that t have. When I queried why the dates clashed I got told that the turn around time beween this year's t and the weekend before kc wouldn't be enough to dismantle the staging, move it to wickerman, build it up again and fully safety test it to make sure it was ok to use, fair enough really.

Hopefully there will be a week's gap next year again

Frank turner and nick cave could be a good shout always a bit more tree huggerish..... If you know what I mean.

Any one know the dates of jodrell ? Week before glasto or same weekend?

There's no way I will get a pass the week after the roses so am hoping its same weekend as glasto, might go if it is .

I would have said the same, only thing is that this year they're competing with kc directly so it serves no purpose to let kc make an announcement then follow up with their own 2 months later.

If they're expecting people to wait up till midnight to see a ticket release date statement without hinting at a name or 2 then I think they might be in for a bit of heckle.

Admittedly like you say though, does seem very early for them to release band info.

Dangleberries special guests again !?!

They had to announce something really, moneys tight and if kendal announced a good line up in the next month, where they traditonally announce at least 10 acts, nearly 25 last year it would put real pressure on wickerman. There's no doubt kendal will sell out within 2 to 3 months due to its demographic area and its reputation amongst the teens around the area. As a punter are you gonna wait a few months after the kc announcement comes out to see what wickerman had to offer and run the risk of kc selling out in the meantime.

Having said that, Wickerman have made a small announcement, namng 2 bands appearing, but at least they're reminding people they're out there. Primal Scream is a decent act for them and like the scissor sisters announcement last year gives the public another option.

    • 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. 🙂
