liking the fact we got days splits so early,plenty I like on all days, plenty of clashes throughout the weekend though to decide

Im surprised by the negativity towards the main stage on the Sunday, I know its not the indie nostalgia fest that we expect at Kendal calling but never get a full weekend of that

Nothing but thieves> Slaves > Seasick Steve > Frank Turner > TInie Tempah isn't a bad run of acts in my opinion

Pleased White have got a main stage slot too

I think it is the divisiveness of the last two acts, if Tinie was swapped for the Manics there wouldn't be anything like as many complaints in my view. There was also a lot of people on FB who thought Frank Turner should be above Tinie.

For me there is only Nothing but thieves that I am half interested in seeing. I'd watch Seasick again if the weather is nice supping a beer on the hill and Mrs BR wants to see Tinie.

I'm liking Sunday's line up. I didn't really know much from any of them but created a playlist as soon as the line up came out and I love all of them, especially Tinie and Frank. Not so much Seasick Steve. I've always thought I should like him, and I've tried, but he just doesn't do it for me. Someone mentioned earlier By the river had cancelled... is this true? Have I even got the right band?

I'd definitely give seasick Steve a listen live. He's not someone I listen to much but seen him live quite a few times and he's great! Very talented and endearing. Kinda sucks you in and has good crack with the crowd.

Depending on who's on when he is then I may do. Thanx

Yes they have cancelled...I messaged them on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and they confirmed they have cancelled all their shows for the rest of 2017...they should have been playing Chai Wallahs on Thursday...bit gutting really as they were one of the better reggae bands for the weekend.

Has anyone got some pictures of their lanyard with times from last year? I can't find any on Twitter or anything, just to get an idea of times, I assume they're usually quite similar?

I've got them at home, doesn't really change much over the years. Which stage you after ?

Well as many as you can give me I was planning on making a clashfinder to have some idea and then I'll update it on the Thursday with the actual times when we get them instead of buying a program each for the family, anything you've got helps though

Edit - Also it may be a matter of opinion but they seem to have most of the big names for the glow tent on Friday?

Someone's started a clashfindet but it's in it's early stages.  http:///s/kendal2017/

Kendals been notoriously hard over the years to do clashfinders for so dont be disappointed if it comes to nothing

People would disagree but I don't really see the point of a clash-finder for Kendal, they're really useful for Glastonbury where it can be a 30-45 minute walk between stages, but the longest walk between stages at KC is what, 5 mins tops?

 

and yeah, mentioned a few times but you're blob on about the Friday Glow Tent, of the 7 acts i'd want to see in there over the weekend 5 are on Friday, but then I do much prefer House/Tech-House to DnB and Jungle which takes up a lot of Sat/Sun.

Anyone got news on any timings yet ?

The clashfinder still looks way out to me. I'm still interested in main stage start times as it seems to vary each year and for each day.

I'm keeping an eye on twitter incase any one leaks it.

      Travelling to and from the site on a day ticket

      By Alvoram · Posted

      Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit."

      So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By pipan · Posted

      I had a great time yesterday and came to the conclusion that everytime (or, more accurately, both times) I didn't have a great time at Primavera, it was water-related. Either there was too much of it (Thursday 2026) or there wasn't enough (Thursday 2022, week 1).
