Day Splits

[cincoveces05]

The bigger festivals with >100,000 try to split the crowds, don't think it's such a safety issue at Kendal where even the headline acts aren't really huge names that everyone on site will want to see (other than Noel last year possibly).

Last year Craig David, Shy FX and Redlight who were probably the biggest pulls for The Glow Tent all started well after the Main Stage headliners finished.

I couldn't get in to the glow tent for Craaaaig David last year, absolutely rammed. had to re re wind and listen from outside !

Can anybody recall what date we got the splits last year ??

Not sure about last year, but in 2015 they went public on Weds 22nd July...the week before the festival.

[Toon Army]

19 July last year

[Port-a-loo Pete]

Another couple of weeks then. It really is baffling why they can't release them earlier.

[ramragon]

Even after that they were still subject to change a bit, not sure why it's such a chore to release a line up a bit before, everything must be planned out a fair bit before

[timeforheroes]

Maybe they know the Sunday is shite and don't want the grief

[ramragon]

That's a possibility lol

[Badlands]

If they're charging for lanyards then it makes sense from a commercial pov to keep the times and splits under wrap for as long as possible.

It's still a shits trick, mind. I cannot understand why they don't split the days out straight away, especially if it's sold out.

Didn't 2manydjs and Frank Turner clash in 2014? Only year I've been so not lots of experience. 

Aye they defo clashed. I watched Frank for a bit then headed into the tent which was rammed.

The Glow Tent tends to suffer from what someone on the Glastonbury forum, briiliantly, called crowd crust. 

Even when it's not too busy it can be hard to get in as so many people hang around the edges, i've seen it 10 deep outside, but with loads of space to dance in the middle.

I'm a big Frank Turner far so that looks good to me. 

I haven't bought their record, but I've a hope Slaves would be well worth a watch.

Yip main stage pretty pants on the sunday for me anyway, but that has worked to my advantage as apart from Nothing but thieves I don't need to go to the main stage at all.

looks like I will get to see The Coral,Indie Disco, and maybe a bit of beatlemania. So happy days

Never seen them do this before either but pretty handy... Frank Turner on same time as Coral??? Calling out will be heaving

Completely agree with you there.

Heaving? It will be absolutely rammed, a bit like the secret Killers set at Glastonbury! They'll be stood 10 deep outside to avoid the rain-monger!

They haven't given the splits for Jaegar tent but as Frank Typhoon is headlining there also then guessing it'll be after his mainstage set. Do they realise what they've booked? Can you drink Jaegar in a cardigan? Do you have to put the tambourine down first?

I was thinking with indie disco running later, The Coral might be on at the same time as Tinie. At least I'm hoping that's the case.

Wasn't Skepta on the original line up announcement? Seems to have vanished from the lineup

Nah, he'd be well up the line-up.

That's a seriously stacked Friday in The Glow Tent, was hoping to catch Stereophonics but looks like that won't be happening.

[Pooly JP]

Looks like no indie disco to finish on the Friday in calling out going by those line ups.

I've been listening to Kendal Calling playlist on spotify on shuffle and today Primal Scream came on!

They aren't playing so why is it on the playlist?

If they were playing, Kendal Calling has become even more exciting!

Has anyone any idea why they are on the playlist.

Just to add, not to impressed with Sunday main stage. Calling out and woodlands stage for me on Sunday!

Denise Johnson is playing House Party who has done a couple of songs with Primal Scream.  Be one of them probably.
