last headliner...

[stinkywhimp]

With Chic & Nile headlining Bestival and their success in the last year I would imagine they are "too big" to headline Kendal currently, sadly... Hope I'm wrong though!

it looks like the headliner IS the special guest, which points to Chic for me, as they seem to be given that billing everywhere. Dont know exactly those involved nowadays but Chic played Warehouse Project last year and i think that at the very least the Kendal and Warehouse lot are in the same circles, and they played Festival Number 6 which I do know is connected so wouldn't be at all surprised

Really don't want them to be, but I guess it could cover both the dance act and the Sunday sing a long.

I heard the special guest is the sharehorses.

[Shangri La]

Just been listening to Jack White's new song, and he'd be a perfect headliner.

I saw him down Bridlington Spa the other year, and he played plenty White Stripes songs to make his set perfect for a festival.

[johnboy1981]

He's one of them where you have to listen to whatever he brings out absolute genius to me, cant see him being announced but would be great.

[Comfy Bean]

New Order. Ideal Sunday night headliner to finish things off.

Just checked New order tour dates and they are in the states that weekend. There is a very worrying gap in Tom jones's calender!! I'm hoping for the Horrors or Cribs. A biggish indie/rock band at least

Wouldn't mind a bit of Tom Jones on the Sunday afternoon actually.

[Marc Whiffen]

Pretty worried, just checked and Village People are free that weekend too.

Example eh..

[stuwilky]

who's on in Calling Out then?

[generationgav]

Kendal website says Augustines are "headlining our Calling Out tent on Saturday night."

Frightened Rabbit have Kendal listed on their page as 03/08

So looks like Suede and Jimi Goodwin clash on Friday night and Frightened Rabbit will have the biggest crowd of the weekend in Calling Out.

[ramragon]

Augustines over frank turner for me every day, quite happy with that trade off

[Marc Whiffen]

Suede, Jimi Goodwin and OCS all on at the same time then? Surely not.

[Flaminglippy]

Very hard for me to say this as I love Kendal but slightly underwhelmed.

Still has something on their website saying 'Special Guest Sunday Night Headliner Still To Be Announced'. Is this an oversight or is there likely to be another big name for the Sunday night do we think??

As it stands at the minute looks like Tom Odell is subbing!

[Pooly JP]

I'm neither gutted or overly enthused by Example announcement by all accounts he puts a decent show on and will lead in to the new firework finale better than the majority of acts bandied about for final headliner.

I'd be a lot more peed of if they do think Odell is an appropriate sub and there isn't at least one more good band/ singer announced for the 3rd sub, assuming De la soul and the Mondays are definitely the other two.

Even though i don't think line up is that bad it has meant from the 8 of us originally going there is now only 2 of us.

[Flaminglippy]

Nah lippy I've been told that wait for it ................... The hotpots are subbing Sunday night , no shit either !

[rjam77]

The thing with festivals for me is that I like to have music to listen to in order to make me excited way before the actual festival. (If that makes any sense to anyone but myself...) Although I'm sure Example is a good entertainer I won't be spending my weekend eagerly anticipating his set! Each to their own I suppose.

Does anyone know if there are any more announcements to come? I'm still pretty sure The Fratellis are to be added.
