1 man I did let pass me by was the rag and bone man. Liking him at the mo and would have put money on him never been at Kendal until I read something the other day. Gutted I missed him.

He's been to Kendal twice, was asking the crowd last yesr to pester the organisers to get him back this year

I had a word but I'd imagine his diary got a hell of a lot busier since he was at Kendal calling

I'm in the same boat as Cadski. I'm a young 40 year old and (don't stone me) but I quite like modern music i.e. Chart stuff. I really don't know who to watch. I know the line up isn't be all and end all BUT, most of my friends aren't coming this year so I have to depend on 2 colleagues and the most wonderful 16 yr old festival buddy. Again don't stone me but I love festival type bands like beans on Toast, proffessor Elemental, Mr B the gentleman rhymer, Skinny lister, the lobster bloke and the hotpots *i whispered that last one!  So far I like the sound of The woman that sounds like Lily Allen (can't remember her name). Any suggestions to listen to would be amazing thanx x

Not many beans on toast types so far on the line up cg

If you like the charty stuff maybe try bossy love, soShe, ardyn, fickle friends, honey blood

You'd probably live the everley pregnant brothers, maybe gypsies of Bohemia. mexrissey could be up your street if you like Morrissey songs in spanish

By the rivers are good

I'm enjoying land of giants, honeyfeet, bad sounds from the bands I didn't know before line up was out

From the ones I had heard of white, man and the echo, the shimmer band, blaenavon are all worth checking out if you like there style of music

I've not seen them mentioned anywhere yet...have you some insider knowledge there Thurlow? I hope they are there, the line up is currently devoid of any reggae and ska.

Is Lethal Bizzle chart now Grime has really taken off?

Also Tinie Tempah is defo current pop music. Not my bag but expect he'll put a show on.

Should give Loyle Carner a listen, he's gonna get really big I suspect. Some of it is a bit 'poignant McDonald's advert' but he's very talented. 

Drip feed line ups probably take longer to satisfy people as well. It's probably a quarter of all peformers? Hope the tide turns a bit for you.

I'm liking what I've heard of Loyle Carner so far too, I think he could be the name to take from this years line up who'll be back a lot bigger in the future

Thanx lovelies. I'm going into Spotify now to check out the suggestions

[Curlygirl]

Ive added quite a few to my playlist thanx. 

I really didn't like Bossy Love. Her voice is so squeaky!!

Lakefest 2017 just put line up out.

290.00 family of 4 Thursday entry with camper van and hook up!!! Ice cold beer all weekend.

Kendal cost me just shy of 800 quid I think.

Big difference in cost. Similar bands.

any one any idea when the announcements supposed to be this week ?

[Pooly JP]

When people ask on twitter they just keep saying very soon. 

[Pooly JP]

Just checked and it's tomorrow at 7pm.

[richall]

But it's mainly glow tent it says so that's not going to make much difference to me I've never set foot in it 

[Pooly JP]

Yeah noticed that, does say that there is still plenty to announce for other stages as well.

Hopefully those will be announced soon as well.

I wonder if they realise that's annoying?

[ramragon]

Hopefully it will be a bit more than just a glow tent announcement,

Agreed and hopefully the fact it's sold out doesn't influence the acts they're now booking.

They need to splash atleast some of that extra cash !
