Is this the full line up?

[rjam77]

Dexters have just said they will be having some festival announcements tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

[SloopJohnB]

The only festival to announce festival stalls? Unbelievable!

Yeah...Gandhi's Flip Flop is one of the best announcements so far for me

Do you reckon theyre maybe holding off the Peace announcement until their gig in Kendal sells out? So the next announcement could be after 29th May?

Im glad the gramotones are playing the house party, the were one of my fav acts from last year

[Marc Whiffen]

I thought Simon ans Oscar were playing the woodland stage? No according to Kendals Stage split. Catfish and the Bottlemen aren't playing the Houseparty like it said they were either. I think Catfish might have been promoted to a bigger stage though after the success of Kathleen.

[bottonrob]

must admit I thought Simon and Oscar playing woodland might've raised a few health and safety issues although would've been very cool. I'd bang them on the main stage around 3 ish on the sunday afternoon that is unless they've seriously improving he calling out stage this year

[Flaminglippy]

Also looks like the Mondays are subbing on the main stage on Saturday now rather than playing the Glow Tent which makes much more sense...or maybe not, not very clear on the website

Gutted! The atmosphere would be ace in the Glow Tent.

Does anyone else realistically believe we have more decent announcements to come? The Y not line up has been built up with an awful lot more exciting up and coming bands I would say personally. Hopefully we still have more to be excited about!

Still time yet I sense for a few more to get added. Can anybody remember when the last raft of announcements came last year ?

[Marc Whiffen]

I notice on the Calling Out poster, there are some new bands on it. Neon Waltz are amazing. Not sure about the rest, will have to check them out.

[Emandjay]

I noticed that too. See the Feud are set to play again. Seen them a few times at KC and enjoyed them.

Only saw the end of their set last year as they headlined the woodlands and so clashed with the Charlatans.

[Flaminglippy]

Still hoping for another decent announcement. I'm a huge fan of Kendal, its my favourite festival, but this years line-up looks pretty poor compared with the last couple of years. Frank Turner's not a headliner for a festival the size of Kendal, Tom Odell is nowhere near big enough to sub. Thats mental.

Was hoping a lot of money they'd presumably saved by booking them would support a stronger bill lower down but seems like an awful lot of filler this year.

So the main stage has been announced and it looks like the Mondays are on there but aren't even subbing...? All seems slightly strange to me.

[Flaminglippy]

I think it's just a sign of poor lineups throught the scene this year, from the very big festivals to the small ones.

I usually go to Rock Werchter which usually has great lineups, this years is very average. Then festivals line end of the road which last year was fantastic , again very average this year.

So I do think it's the year of average lineups, likes of Kendall have less to work with.

I've just had a little count up of acts on the main stage this year and the acts last year, both have 22, I guess the hopes of another few recognisable names being added isn't likely!

[Emandjay]

Well I reckon that's just about it now. I suppose there might be the odd late entry but the card is looking pretty full now. Strange how they have just quietly added artists this year. I guess it's because they are all not that well known.

I was hoping for a bit more but I'm not disappointed. I'm not fussed about big names, just good music. I reckon there's plenty to keep me occupied over the three days.

Unlike most on here, I'm pretty happy with the headliners. I've been listening to some old Suede stuff and I think I prefer them now than I did back in the day. I also think Frank Turner is a good booking for Kendal. Apparently he is their most requested artist. Although I will probably be in the Calling Out tent, I think Example is much better than B. Jaxx or Dizzee. My daughter is happy.

I'll be interested to see Black Rivers, Jez and Andy from Doves. I've not heard anything they done yet. Bit strange that they have made it to the main stage all be it in a minor slot. Any chance they will be on the same day as Jimi and we get a surprise Doves set?

[sinc72]

If this is the final line up I think I might go for Beacons this year. They have a lot of exciting 1st album bands,the type which kendal has had loads of in the past but they seem to have gone down the solo female singer route. Not that many bands playing in comparison to previous years.
