Day Splits

[dannyfletcher]

London African Gospel Choir confirmed via their website to be playing on the 30th. So that the Woodlands Headliner confirmed for the Sunday. I have been hearing really good review for their Graceland performance, so will be looking forward to catching them. 

 

Mexrissey on the the 29th, so assuming Beatlemania on the 28th

Good work.

Do we know for sure those 3 are headliners?  Shame if so seem ideal mid afternoon stuff to me.

Quite fancy watching both mexrissey and beatlemania but it'd be hard to see me going over stereophonicd or the manic, was hoping they'd be on earlier

[dannyfletcher]

I agree mate. I'd like to see all 3, and as timeforheroes said they would be great mid afternoon slots. 

[timeforheroes]

Yeah surely tribute bands are an ideal mid afternoon drink singalong. As Ram said, can't appeal to many over current bands.

My fingers again burnt by Kendals refusal to be clear about who is on when. 

Potential of Manics Coral Mexrissey clash is half the people I wanted to see on original poster!

Is it just me who's the cynic and thinking it's their way of making sure punters buy a lanyard on arrival? Other than that, what other reasons could there be so close to the festival to not go public with day splits?

[Port-a-loo Pete]

We don't even need to know the times (i'll buy a lanyard for that!!!!) just give us the day splits KC !!!

[ramragon]

Main reason I gave up trying to do a clashfinder, guesswork was a nightmare

[Port-a-loo Pete]

It's disappointing to see all of the other festivals on clashfinder except KC !

 

[ramragon]

Tried a few times years ago mate, waste of time

the order on the website for the main stage is FF, phonics, manics then tinie which would represent Thursday to sunday in the right order

if we apply the same logic to the calling out stage the we'd have The Coral Friday, Loyle Carner Saturday and The Hunna sunday

I'll do some proper digging though and try get it all confirmed

 

I'm confused by this as I thought Frank Turner was headlining Saturday night?

I thought he was sub to Tinie Tempah on the Sunday?

I don't care when he plays...I'll be elsewhere on site irrespective of days!

[trebor1892]

The narrative on the website for Frank Turner has

Quote

The amazing Frank Turner is back in the fields with us! He is our most requested artist and we’re thrilled to have Million Dead singer turned folk troubadour Frank Turner headlining our Saturday night!

 

Yet he is not shown on the stage splits page, but is showing on the line up pages before Tinie - Co-Headline maybe?

[timeforheroes]

 That blurb is from the last time he played which was the Saturday. The website management is so amateur. British sea power weren't listed last time I looked and bios for coral and FT are years out of date.

In other news Kate Nash is Friday and Editors Saturday.

Couldn't agree more about the website they haven't even updated the seperate stages section to add all the bands that have been added so still having to guess which stage some bands will be on.

Main stage still only showing 15 bands for example.

Thursday

Franz Ferdinand 

Frightened rabbit 

British sea power

Saturday looks like a fab evening on the hill, Sunday looks like a fab evening for a stroll!

[ramragon]

Yeah Sunday doesn't do much for me on main stage but I'm sure it'll appeal to loads. 

[Mr_Grump]

If that's Sunday evening/night it's either a roam around the rest of the stages or an early drive home!

Agreed. Could be a day to try the strongbow tree / Kracken bar then chill to the jams of Seasick Steve.

The Coral in calling out would be a master stroke for the Sunday night.

But would the tent be big enough for the anticipated crowd If this is what the main stage looks like?

[dannyfletcher]

Am i the only Frank Turner fan on here? It was interesting to see the Facebook post last night from KC and the (assumed) headline and sib acts getting a mention apart from him. Kendal is still on his gigs page, so sadly for some of you it looks like he is playing.

The Kendal website this year is appalling, which is a shame as a few years back it was one of the best festival websites, if not the best. If you aren't a member of this forum i am sure many will be scratching their heads  about wtf is happening. For me the festival experience starts before i get there, and Kendal hasn't done a great job this year.
