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.

2 songs ! Cosmic girl and space cowboy! 

electric fields announce in 5 mins maybe that will shed some light !

is that all? I was thinking there's more than that.

Still, it's still more than most other bands, and for act size Blue Dot is probably a good size fit.

I hope we get more acts announced for Kendal Calling than have been released for Electric Fields

Frightened Rabbit headlining, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Arab Strap, Crash Club, and yet it moves and Brat and the bonemem were all they've released

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!

Im sort of starting to think this announcement could be pretty naff ! And it could even be like 1 year an announcement to tell you when the announcement is going to happen! 

Bet you an extra bonus pint thurlow it's not all the headliners !!! You can just see it going that way !

the actual text from their message is;

 

' Click subscribe below to be the first to receive an early pre-sale ticket link at 9:50am on Friday 27th before tickets go on general sale at 10am! Line-up incoming 7pm Thursday… '

be quite a few pissed off people if this translates to a 'we will announce in 3 weeks' etc as it reads pretty explicit!

They have shifted 60% already apperantly!

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

 

Just went through the link at the top of the forum page and have also checked the official site.

Tickets not on sale !!!!!!

They have taken them off and they are not going back on sale until Friday at 9am.

At a higher price of course 

My rant at how expensive KC is will be even worse this year than usual.

[ramragon]

anythings a start to be fair. doesn't really matter who they announce I guarantee some will love it and some will hate it.

the price sharp mounts up when all the hidden fees go on, a family of 4 plus emperors and Thursday tickets can easy cost an extra £100 in booking and postage costs

Aye. A family of 4 can be cheaper at Glastonbury depending on kids ages.

I think it`s a bit shit you have to pay extra for the Thursday. I pay extra for the Emperors field to save the walk ( it`s my age ) but with the cost, fees and the Thursday you would expect some decent headliners.

Why have they taken tickets off sale ? I was looking to buy mine tonight

I may well be wrong but don`t we normally get all 4 ?

Apols if I`m talking shit mate 

[ramragon]

I feel your pain mate, the campervan field has always been a luxury to us, the kids last year had just turned 16 so I had to buy 4 adult tickets with Thursday etc, nightmare.

Last year we got then all in the first announcement, previous years we haven't

Nope. Will get them at the weekend. Not cheap. Hopefully the lineup will reflect the price.

Ah ok. I remember tuning in and they had interviews lined up on xfm with all the headliners. Had no idea what year that was.

[thurlow84]

After Camp Bestivals announcement I'm wondering if we could get Brian Wilson as one of the headliners, lochland has indicated that all saints and right said Fred are playing this year and they are both at camp bestival, so maybe there's a headliner or two to be shared 

[dannyfletcher]

As Ramragon said there will always people who will be unhappy and those that are. Those people that are expecting Ed Sheeran's announcement today being that he is headlining Kendal will certainly be unhappy.
