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?

[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

Hey guys, new to Kendal - anyone know when announcement day is? Or when it normally is based on years gone by? Thanks

The Joy Formidable got a new album out, brilliant album.

Could be a band for Kendal?

Anyone seen these live? Saw them at Leeds 2011 and they were superb

[thurlow84]

Joy formidable are great live. They'd be a good act for kendal calling i reckon

[Salford Red]

This year will be my fourth KC, love it. My favourite time of year and in reply to MickL I guessed James last year months before the line up announcement, my proudest achievement This year I'm guessing at New Order but that's me wanting them (badly) I hope Courteeners don't do it, it will attract a lot of 'lads' only there to see them, I went to a few of their gigs when they first started but unfortunately they've attracted quite a lot of tosspots now, don't bother with them anymore.

British Sea Power have a new album out this year and touring in April. Kendal band who have played KC twice (i think).

[Flaminglippy]

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,

[Babyquack]

Would imagine the first announcement will be out 2nd or 3rd week of February, won't differ much from that anyways.

[ramragon]

Thanks for the reply ramragon! Looking forward to finding out who's playing - Kendal seems like a friendly, intimate festival... Something I'm really looking forward to experiencing!

[Flaminglippy]

Final...finals prediction... Friday - Basement Jaxx Saturday - Vaccines Sunday - Primals There! Anybody know if Ovengloves is coming this year??

If they did, I'm sure my lad would break his KC virginity (he's hoping for them at Glastonbury)....if Chase and fecking Status can do it, why not Bloc Party

I've always thought of Bloc Party as being similar to the Cribs, saw some of their set at Glastonbury year's ago and enjoyed what I saw. Think they'd fit the bill as headliner although they wouldn't be my first choice.

[ramragon]

Wouldn't go as far as saying theyre shite, just wouldn't be the first band on my to watch list if they were announced ! Couldnt imagine getting overly excited about seeing them headline, decent indie rock back but not much sing a long, jump up and down type stuff, more stand with the occasional head nod whilst listening to them ! Prefer my headliners to be James like where you know the words and sing them whilst watching the performance, could just be my ignorance of Bloc Partys back catalogue as well tho
