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.

I see jodrell are announcing something in the morning though.

[ramragon]

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

[Flaminglippy]

Be interesting to see who they've got planned for it this year, hopefully the weather will be a bit kinder for them

Are the strokes even still together ? I thought they'd had another falling out. Probably the right sort of stage for nick cave though.

[LOCHLAND5]

I reckon it might be Frank Turner or Vaccines. Or both. Maybe the Strokes? Or Nick Cave??

[ramragon]

Were they planning on doing jodrell on the same dates yearly ? I thought it was more of a 'when the band is available and suits everyone's type gig

[Flaminglippy]

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 .

[ramragon]

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 !?!

[LOCHLAND5]

Wickerman are announcing 1 of their headliners after midnight tonight.

[Comfy Bean]

In other news Deacon Blue have a new single out.

[ramragon]

Wouldnt mind catching deacon blue again, ideal for a sunny aftrnoon singalong

[ramragon]

So wickerman have announced primal scream headlining friday, not out of the realms of possibility that they could travel 60 miles down the road or so and make an appearance as saturday or sunday headliner at kendal. Make a weekend of it !

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.
