Hopes for next announcement

[Comfy Bean]

And now for something completely different. Remember seeing this on Jools before Christmas and see she is now playing a couple of fests this summer. By coincidence, one that also features Primal Scream. So new album out and doing UK festivals this summer. I thought this was really catchy when I first heard it and no doubt she has the talent and back catalog. Also appears to have the fancy dress outfit already sorted so can anyone see her in the fields ??

[Comfy Bean]

Would love to see The Farm and perhaps even the Wailers after watching them last year at Heaton Park, both very good live. Wild Beasts would also be a welcome addition considering they're from Kendal and played there in 2010. More realistically though could definitely see The Palma Violets, The La's and perhaps the 50's rock & roll outfit The Jim Jones Revue play. Hopefully KC have got something special up there sleeve Seasick Steve could be persuaded to play he'd fit the bill perfectly.

Also, does anyone know for sure where British Sea Power will be playing? As they're a much more intense, sing-along inducing prospect in a tent. They didn't quite manage to hit the heights of previous performances when they were on the main stage last time and to me it was all down to their location.

[Adeemo]

Ghostpoet packed out the calling out tent last year but a performance from someone like him would be totally wasted in a daylight main stage performance.

[Flaminglippy]

That really was a great performance from Ghostpoet last year and like you say it wouldn't have been anywhere near as enjoyable on the main stage. Must be a tricky balancing act for the organisers.

Does anyone know when the next announcement will be? I know it was around Easter time last year.

I know people were disappointed with the initial lineup but I think if there'd been a different headliner to The Charlatans (Courteeners etc) the reaction would have been very different. I've never seen either The Charlatans or Primal Scream so I'm quite looking forward to it.

I think Johnny Marr will be announced and he'll get a good crowd and stuff. There are a few bands touring soon, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Frank Turner (wishful thinking maybe), Everything Everything, Jake Bugg. So I think the next announcement has the potential to make the lineup quite strong for a relatively small festival

[Mr_Grump]

Someone current and big to headline Calling Out & Chai Wallahs (if it's there again) cos having three 90s headliners on the main stage is not showing much creativity.

[Mr_Grump]

Just got a ticket to see The Lumineers in London on Tuesday....possibly the type of band for high spot on the undercard.

[Jacko450]

Little Comets

Phoenix

Jake Bugg

Will get non though, expecting more Inspiral Carpet type acts.

Of those mentioned earlier in this thread, i'll take Toots and the Maytals/Wailers in a similar slot to what Little Roy had last year. BRMC would be sweet and I'll crack one off in the tent if Publlic Enemy are on.

[Mr_Grump]

Saw Langhorne Slim and The Law supporting The Lumineers yesterday.....they would go down a storm later on the main stage or headlining Calling Out.

[ramragon]

Been a few weeks since the last announcement now so hopefully the next realease of bands is ready to be rolled out, if the last announcement looked gappy in places I'm sure the next one will fill the gaps in.

According to the facebook page all the band applications are all in so the line up must be taking shape a bit more.

Announcement this Thursday with any luck

Funky News :

Craig Charles hoping to be confirmed in next announcement. He considers Kendal to be his " Home Festival ". See he`s doing one of the fight club things this Saturday. For anyone just back from a few years on Mars he`s on 6 Music Saturday evenings.

[Comfy Bean]

Jimmy Cliff would do me (but not in a physical sense...unless he bought me a drink first). Neon Neon is a good shout. Dexys. Plus a few old indie ones like Space and Cast. I'm already happy though! Anything else is a Brucey. In fact I kinda hope the next announcements are crap or it'll end up like last year where there was always something on I wanted to see so didn't get to catch anything unexpected

But anyway...Jimmy Cliff...Johnny Marr...Public Enemy...Teenage Fanclub...Neon Neon...Space...Cast...

Got a sneeky feeling that Frank Turner might sub the Charlies

[Flaminglippy]

Annual outing to the boozer to watch the Gold Cup today. A small interest in Many Rivers To Cross in the 2.05pm and we could all pay to fly Sir Jim over ! ( 33/1 )

[LOCHLAND5]

Just put 20 e/w on it best come in Cnumb or my advice would be goto wickerman !

[ramragon]

I'm obviously less flush than penriths premium pallet disposal expert so I've slapped 2.50 e/w on it ! still got 33-1

Saw the courteeners last night in Newcastle, the academy was packed out for the gig which was jumping. They played a very good set but after seeing them it did come accross how manic the fans were at times with pints of beer flying through the air all through the set and crowd surfing all over. Gotta agree with earlier comments that they'd Maybes be a bit laddish for the kendal family friendly outlook.

They were supported by the family rain who were a decent enough rock band comprising of 3 brothers. Bit heavy for my tastes but played a tight set which a lot of the crowd seemed o enjoy

[Mr_Grump]

.... with pints of beer flying through the air all through the set and crowd surfing.....

[ramragon]

I had Jessica with me so had the common sense to stay near the back away from flying liquid of dubious origin !

I'd like to think it was beer anyways

[Adeemo]

So.....

It looks like Latitude headliners are Kraftwerk, Bloc Party and Foals....I reckon the Kendal Calling Healiners are stronger

[ramragon]

Went to the sage last night and caught Gabrielle Aplin, could imagine her going down great either on the main stage or headlining the kaylied/ wallahs. A lovely voice and great pressence on stage who engaged the crowd all through the set. You could hear a pin drop when she was singing which makes a nice change after the usual academy and cluny gigs I go to where people talk all the way through !

Both support bands were good as well, Hannah Grace did covers of Etta James and Kodaline as well as some of her own stuff, she was obviously good friends with Gabrielle as she joined her on stage for a song, again she'd be perfect for the kaylied / wallahs

[TAinsworth]

Would love to see Twisted Wheel play again, but I don't know if they'd book them 2 years in a row seen as they played Main Stage last year. But Jonny Brown has been doing some acoustic sets recently so he could make an appearance maybe?

[tpot69]

I'd like to see

The Wonder Stuff

The Go Team

The La's (missed them by 10 mins in 2011)

Alarm Bells

Camera Obscura
