Some good picks there Lippy, I'd be pretty happy with that. I've tried to avoid your picks with one (notable !!) exception

1. Peter Hook and the Light or

2. New Order

3. Rudimental

4. King Charles

5. The Lovely Eggs

6. Wind Up Birds

7. Sunshine Underground

8. Kaiser Chiefs

9. UB40

10. Neds Atomic Dustbin

11. Cud

12. iliketrains

13. New York Brass Band

14. Fat White Family

15. These New Puritans

16. Savages

17. Julian Cope

18. Edwyn Collins

19. The History of Apple Pie

20. Mark Almond

I've gone for a sort of possible-realistic wish list (not over fussed about Kaisers but I think they are a call). Obviously, if it wasn't for points I'd be going for Morrissey, Nick Cave, Pixies and Half Man Half Biscuit !!

Morning Mr Gloves...hope you are well. Yeah, any one of the Mozza/Nick Cave/Pixies trio would be immense but can't see it (especially the Pixies as they are headlining the 25k capacity Field Day)...but we can dream! Kaisers might be a good shout for Saturday night headliner...new album to flog etc.

Some nice picks their Kev. Hope you get a good few right. I`ve dropped UB40 from my squad as they seem to have had another legal issue after being announced for another festival in the summer. Think there are 2 UB40`s going about arguing over the name. Would love to see Hot Chip, think I had them down last year. Brilliant live but I think they would need to Headline and not sure they appeal to the masses. 2manyDJ`s would be good. Where/ when would you think they would play at KC ?

I think they need to aim at a 25K sell out this year so at £120 they are looking at a cool £3mill before sponsors and the extras from the fancy tents, traders etc. I know it will cost a few quid to put on but by all accounts they seem to have sorted out the toilet probs from 2012 and Lochmonster mentioned a possible rejigging the campsite so a big line up is now needed to fill the place up. Here`s my predictions :

Craig Charles FFS.....back to the drawing board I see !

Theres no way itll be 25k cnumb,, theyll probably try an push capacity up to around 18k maybes a little more. The arena and main stage areas couldnt take a crowd of 25k without it being rammed and a health and safety risk, would take a major increase in arena space to cope with that crowd.

the extended capacity licence they applied for in 2012 was for a maximum of 19 999 which is still in place as far as im aware, that figure was to include people working at the festival as well
