I'd like to think the manics will play but at the minute they're not scheduled to play anywhere, not even rumoured for any festivals nevermind Kendal. It could happen but things seem very quiet from them.

I know they reissued generation terrorists late last year so Maybes they're thinking of doing one the increasingly popular touring with a famous album, like screamadelica or levelling the land etc

[Flaminglippy]

Right...changing again...

Friday - Fatboy Slim (might be too big though)

Saturday - Vaccines

Sunday - Primals

[ramragon]

Ahhh the age old vaccines debate !

Ever the optimist ! I think if they were gonna play it would have been last year, they seem to have had a meteoric rise, that's not to say they won't appear in a few years time if they suffer a fall from grace. They've probably outgrown a lot of the smaller festivals without making appearances at them,

[ramragon]

Could imagine it happening, not my scene but it'll be good to see another stage headliner if that's the case.

I still think we'll get the courteeners and primal scream. Who knows in respect of a dance/dj set

Rockness is around 35k, could imagine them headlining the other stage at glastonbury

[Flaminglippy]

Yeah...good point. Didn't think about 2nd stages.

Anyway...when they're announced as headliners I'll be referring you all back to this discussion!

[Flaminglippy]

I'm pretty sure Latitude is 35000.

Is it?? Bloody hell. They should have better line ups than they do then. Take the headliners out the equation and Kendal probably has better bands on

[walkforever]

Well my wrong guess is

Friday - Courteeners

Saturday - David Guetta

Sunday - Simple Minds or Human League

[go.yellow.odd.socks]

Ha get scooter through the night 3am till 7am

Friday raizorlight

Sat courteeners

Sunday manics

4 REAL ! R. E. r I p

[ramragon]

Bassment jax are playing a few festivals this summer by the looks of it, could see them being in kendals budget for a Friday night dance headliner.

[Ash1E]

Friday: Example or Plan B

Saturday: The Courteeners or Two Door Cinema Club

Sunday: Primal Scream or Simple Minds

Others that could make an appearance; Jake Bugg,The Wombats,Ocean Colour Scene,Madness,Rudimental,Athlete,Embrace.

[Jacko450]

Some reason I think Example is 100% going to headline.

I dont hate his music but wouldnt be determined to see him, for me it'll be...

Example

White Lies

Primal Scream

White Lies are brilliant live, would be fairly epic at Kendal.

[walkforever]

Example is way better live than on record (is that an old term now ?)

Seen him a couple of times and he will give a good show but i'm thinking may now be out of KC's pay bracket

[Flaminglippy]

Example has self-confirmed for Rockness which is much bigger than Kendal which makes it unlikely he'll be there....

Phew!

[Flaminglippy]

Just think Ramragon...you'll soon be looking at a little red face, screaming unintelligible gibberish, fists clenched, demanding a drink and covered in their own poo...

...but before you wander into the dance tent at Kendal, you've got a new babby to look forward to!

[go.yellow.odd.socks]

I no. He talks to much.

Big year for. The courteeners. 3rd. Album out soon I think. They could head line one of the night. If u like Manchester music u will like courteeners

Me and my friends r big fans

Just need to buy a tent for the wet Cumbria weather

[Mr_Grump]

Has anyone ever predicted any of the headliners for any of the previous years?

Maybe the KC crew just sit and laugh at the suggestions....then go & book someone left-field....after all, who predicted Maximo Park last year or The Cribs/Blondie the year before?
