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.

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?

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.

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 !

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
