If Jake Bugg is " active " then I would not be surprised if he got a headline slot at KC. Had almost forgotten about him. He used to pop up everywhere you looked.

Jamiroquai back on the scene and has confirmed for boardmasters, and the KC weekend on their website is blank in between two other weekend dates... That's my logic anyway!

Good shout. Wouldnt be top of my list, but would be up there having a dace if he played. Am sure a greatest hits setlist would go down a storm.

I was thinking about announcements and people on the facebook page stating they wouldn't buy a ticket until announcements had ben made. Nothing wrong with that. It got me wondering why some festivals around the same time as Kendal have announced headline acts and what not and Kendal hasn't. One reason could be that a headliner hasn't been booked or confirmed, which i doubt for a festival of this size. It could also be because the bands have announced tours of their own and they don't want to announce a festival date so soon to their own tour being announced, potentially meaning less ticket sales?

I'm hoping for a few 80's artists this year like Marc Almond, ABC, Duran Duran, The Human League or Howard Jones... however I've my fingers crossed that somewhere will also the likes of Kate Tempest, Belle and Sebastian, Traams, Neds Atomic Dustbin, New Model Army, Powersolo, The Stuffies, Pins, Manics, Florence, Afro Celt Sound System, Fat white family, Billy Bragg, New order, etc

Surely the first announcement is anytime now???!!

They announced on the 8th of Feb last year all though radio x leaked it over that weekend. It will depend what Y not fest are doing as they appear to be their nemesis these days ha ha ! Still another 3 weeks minimum I would recon and it's been later than that in the past I'm sure it's got into March before.

Right said Fred and All saints are nailed on apperantly

Imagine the timing of the announcement relates quite closely to how well the ticket sales are doing

I think we got it as early as we did because Y Not announced then and KC kind of rushed their announcement, if they are struggling to shift tickets I could see us getting the announcement next week

Where did you get that info from about Right said Fred and All saints?

They have shifted 60% already apperantly!

i agree last years announced was rushed because Y not dropped a bomb .

Did he give you any indication when they hope to announce the first wave of acts?

I've got a better idea (without knowing the actual date) than I'm probably allowed to say, so I won't say.

But I will say that I don't think you'll be waiting for too much longer. :)

My 2 cents.....

 

Dodgy

Cast

The Coral

Jamie T

Pendulum

Foals

Frank Turner

The Killers

Kula Shaker

You Me At Six

Sum 41

Run DMC

Bastille

The Sherlocks

Example

Tame Impala

Clean Bandit

Bloc Party

Chvrches

Biffy Clyro

A few of the above with some filler & maybe some reformed bands like the Human League etc  Glow Tent to have a bit more variety than last years would be nice.

Hoping the 'message incoming' at the end of the vid is maybe linked to the Jamiroquia world transmission post! 

I've no knowledge - I'll make that clear - but it's just occurred to me that Jamiroquai are one of the few bands who can keep up the 'space' theme for Blue Dot.

As Boardmasters is around the same size, I think I might have just hit upon something. :)

    • 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.
