last headliner...

[ramragon]

Yeah new order would be good, Jodrell Bank is a side project for the people at kendal so you would imagine they might have decent connections with some of the bands who played

[Flaminglippy]

Nah....not New Order (its not even New Order anymore). I'd prefer Elbow. Great new album.

Out of all the names getting bandied about now...prefer Manics or Kaisers. You need sing a long bands for the last night of any festival. Thats why James doing a greatest hits set 2 years ago whupped the ass of Primal Scream last year doing a self indulgent set of new album bollocks. At your own gig play your new album (not that Manics did, to the extent I walked out at the end saying 'I wish they'd done more new stuff'). Festival headliners though, you owe it to the crowd who have spent 3 or 4 days wading through shit and paying over of the odds for everything to send them home with sore throats and aching legs from screaming and moshing. I read an interview with Bobbie Gillespie after Kendal last year where he said sommat along the lines of 'its our job to challenge the crowd and play new songs'. If he was working his bollocks off doing a shitty dead-end job to pay for 3 or 4 or 5 festivals a year he wouldn't be saying that.

I asked if it was Elbow, because they are on tour in April and won't want to be announced yet and 2 minutes later my comment was deleted. Is it Elbow?

[Flaminglippy]

Why would they be holding off if it was Elbow? Yeah, they're touring next month but only last week they were confirmed as headlining Eden Sessions (July 14th) so why would they not confirm Kendal if they were going to be the third?

Think we'll get the last headliner some point in may now

Mick. Might be a bit of a trek for you mate but I know you like your ska and stuff. Godiva festival in Cov (the free one) has announced 'The Buzzcocks' and 'The Selector' for the Friday night.

[Flaminglippy]

Must have seen a different set, Moving on Up, Loaded, more Screamadelica, Rocks Off, Country Girl, were all in there. Fantastic gig, highlight of the week

James? FFS! Oh sit down, go and sit down, but nowhere next to me.

Grumpy. I like them but they were shit. People were leaving in droves.

[thetime]

Primal scream have never been a consistent band. I have seen them many times down the years at gigs/festivals and they are either awful or electrifying.

I think king Mozza is the last headliner.

[Flaminglippy]

That rumour has been floating around...dont think it is though. Its Elbow I tell ya!

[Marc Whiffen]

Definitely gonna be Elbow. Their tour, my comment being deleted about them being there, selling their ale there and playing Jodrell. So my money is on them.

[johnboy1981]

Mozza would be a glorious ending with all the hits smiths n all, that would be the huge act Boon was suggesting.

[Marc Whiffen]

Just a thought, how close are the food stalls to the main stage and could the wind blow the smell of burgers towards it? If so it won't be Mozza

Can see The Subways added tonight. Kendal posted a quote from them earlier and now The Subways have announced a May UK warm up shows.

I am preparing for further disapointment to be honest

[ramragon]

It's not a case of disappointment for me, the announcement states they're releasing the line up for the riot jazz and a sprinkle of acts from the calling out, chai wallahs an houseparty.

If you look at the bands who played these stages last year, with the exception of maybes the calling out and a few guest djs in houseparty you probably won't have heard of 90% of the other acts before unless you're a regular at festival small tents and local gigs.

Doesn't appear that this announcement is anything more than listing a few smaller stages before another main stage announcement comes our way. Hopefully soon !
