Line Up Announcement

[SloopJohnB]

Anyone else preparing themselves for disappointment ?

[richall1965]

Yes its like Christmas eve then waking up to a lynx gift set and a slazenger pack of socks 

[Jonesy1]

Quick question, is there anywhere near the festival to buy alcohol? Getting the train from Glasgow and don’t really fancy having to carry crates of booze as well as all my other stuff. 

[Nelson23]

There’s always something out there but only twice in the 11 years I’ve been there previously have I been wowed. 

Even though it’s not the biggest festival going, I do feel it punches below it’s weight when you see some smaller festivals pull some genuine class out of the hat at times. 

I don’t see tonight being any different. Just hoping we don’t get the same old acts we see every 2-3 years making their return.

there’s a town near the site called Penrith with plenty of shops for booze, KC is about a ten/fifteen minute drive from there

Train goes to Penrith so I think we’ll just get off there and stock up. Cheers.

There’s a huge Morrison’s out of the centre. We always stock up there. They’ve got a camping section too, to get everything you inevitably forgot.

That’s handy to know then, aren’t there buses that run from the station to the festival?

Looks like it might be right. I’ve got X Radio on, they’ve announced Courteeners, Doves, Manics, Gerry Cinnamon, Chic & Nile Rogers, Fratellis, Leftfield, Mystery Jets, Tom Jones, Idols, Cuban Brothers and some others I don’t remember!

EDIT: They’ve put a list on the Radio X site

Great lineup, getting tickets tomorrow anyone remember how much they’ll be can’t find the price?

[blue6field]

That’s a bloody good lineup!!

[jamj]

I'm a bit miffed with manics being back so soon, but on the whole I think I'm happy, plenty to see there.

[whitecarlos]

More than happy with that.

[SloopJohnB]

Can’t believe we got away wirt Run DMC! Hoping Orbital headline as a nighttime set would be great. 5 headliners into 4 nights doesn’t go

Orbital looks like Thursday headline as there is an asterisk as previous Thursday headers . Obviously Tom will co heading with someone then it works bit like the beach boy year

[LOCHLAND5]

It’s not bad if I’m honest slightly shocked that doves are considered still worthy of headline status given the size of Kendal. Courteeners will be hilarious! The deer park will never have seen scenes like it ! 

[kaip]

Any idea what day rival sons are playing?
