Some strange shenanigans going on I'm sure everything will be revealed in time going back to the coral on kendal twitter feed they tweeted coral will be closing calling out tent that's more feasible also says other calling out headlines are loyle carner and the hunna 

[jkb1]

I think reverend & the makers would be good to close on the woodland stage, but that would probably give me a clash. I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

Any artist who is not playing for the first time still has their bio from last time at the moment.

The Coral bio page is still the same as the one from when they headlined in 2010.  Quite a few are out-dated, the Myspace links usually give it away

The Coral are headlining Calling Out.

As are; Hunna and Loyle Carner.

I reckon Frank will be 2nd billing the Sunday.

Yeah that would make more sense. The coral are a decent act to headline calling out

Agreed, still think frank turner would have been ideal, maybes the dates they were available didn't fit into the seduce the way we want it

Well there playing in Spain on the Friday, so perhaps that was the deal breaker. I suppose it's not just when Franz Ferdinand are available but the other headliners.

Hi guys and guyesses! I'm personally not enthralled with the line up but I'm sure I'll have a fab time as always. I've created a Spotify playlist and so far the only acts that put a smile on my face are Kate Nash and the Hotpots.  I know most of you don't like them but last year was the first year I'd seen them and I had a great time. I know a few of the stereophonics, coral and manics and seen Jake Bugg a few times. Otherwise I'm stumped. @thurlow84... you're always a good one to get advice from. Who do you recommend I give a listen to? Really loved Will Varley and Molotov Jukebox last year. Ta in advance

[thurlow84]

@Curlygirl I'll have a think, there are lots I like on the line up, but what I like isn't always what others like, worth having a listen to the official Kendal calling spotify list as a starting point. There's a couple of songs from those announced already

Thanx Thurlow. I didn't know there was an official Kendal Spotify list

Who do we reckon KC will get from the Y-Not festival line up just announced?

[SloopJohnB]

I'm a little disappointed they didn't get the Libertines following the Truck Fest announcement

Oi !

I quite enjoyed clean bandit a few years back. It was the year that it rained even more than it normally does.

I remember their sound/bass was better than anyone else all weekend.

A few decent tunes and the shit ones you can play the game of trying to work out the point of the one who plays one note on the cello from time to time.

Get them booked I say.

Plus London Grammar please.

So would I but feeder have played before and Cast all though I like them it may tip the balance and turn it into an old farts fest ! Which obviously would suite the likes of Mr grumpy, Cnumb and ramgangnam but I'm down with the kids ........... see you down the front for tinie
