To throw a complete spanner in the works, someone actually messaged me when I made a comment about the line up being released and said that ... KC were short on capital and the line up would suffer and that's the reason why the 2018 payment plan started before the 2017 festival. Those early payments went towards last year which has had a knock on effect onto this and they know that releasing the headliners is unlikely to cause a surge for tickets like last year. I am not posting who messaged me unless they uncover themselves as I do not know who they are, any connections they have and where they could have got such info from. It did seem like a money spinner when they did the 15 month payment plan, in all reality the tickets weren't much cheaper than the 12 month option. I know they got some support in the end from the likes of amazon chipping in for the happy Mondays as part of the Twitch stream deal. I can't imagine they're holding back the announcement much longer and from their point of view people will complain whoever they announce !

naarjtie Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Quote that's the reason why the 2018 payment plan started before the 2017 festival. We started the 2018 payment plan before the 2017 festival because people were asking us to. We didn't see any reason against doing so if it pleases people, so we put them on sale. Quote Those early payments went towards last year The money is ring-fenced by ticketline. The announcement is coming imminently. Sorry it's later than usual, I'll explain why at another time (I have threatened to join the efest meetup and maybe this years the one?!) but it'll be worth the wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 7 minutes ago, the wonderwhy said: Weller to headline I reckon I thought the same after seeing the victorious lineup. Weller and libertines would make me extremely happy but on the flip side won't appeal to my friends- I hope it's someone like catfish to tempt them in! Though I do worry a Weller headline set will leave us with an empty field if he doesn't bother with any hits...I don't even mean jam ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto 2015 was great - perfect sunset greatest hits set...which i guess does show he knows the occasion Looking forward to this announcement anyway, Kendal has always been my second favourite festival!

richall1965 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 As a lifelong fan of Paul weller his name alone will go down well with the masses but then it depends on which Paul turns up, if the self indulgent Paul is there playing obscure album tracks it will only please the real weller fans but if the let's have a ball Paul turns up it could go down as one of the best sets ever to grace lowther, but whichever Paul would turn up it's Certainly going to be better than Brian Wilson on a purely selfish personal point of view it would make my weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Weller is there then what effect do you think it would have on the chances of OCS being there? Can you see Steve Craddock doing two different sets over the weekend?

LOCHLAND5 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Paul Weller .................. mmmmmmmm not really what the vast majority of the fans will be expecting ! Breaks my heart that victorious have the prodigy on an exclusive the deer park has been crying out for such a show to take the festival to another level as far as stage production and putting on a show ! So yesterdays leak wasnt a leak it was fake so im hearing which is a bummer as well ! Think this could well be a pretty disappointing announcement !

Was always a fan until saw him live at t in the park about 5 years ago. He looked more bored than the crowd. Remember being very disappointed. He has the tunes but he was late afternoon at T back then. Is he a headliner nowadays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
