2023 Lineup

Headliners not my bag but plenty on the undercard.

Deja Vega, Stone, Katy J Pearson, Murder Capital, Frank Turner and Confidence Man certainly on my hit list. Will give Kasabian a go with Serge frontman too. 

On the subject of confidence man, not sure I’ve seen a festival announced for this summer without them on.

Feel like Blossoms are a bit of a weaker headliner; but it’s reflected in the fact I think the line up looks more solid as whole. Every time I look at it a different name jumps out. Think we’re definitely going to make this the year we try Kendal

Seen Kasabian twice with Serge as front man and brilliant both times.

Very solid lineup for this sort of festival. I would take all the headliners and a lot of the undercard for the Superstruct events I have already booked.

I wonder is you will get treated to a few Smiths covers with Rick guesting with the Blossoms?

I don’t agree that this is a ‘safe’ line up. Kasabian are strong and Chic is excellent for Thursday. Giving Blossoms a chance to headline is a risk and big step up for them….same with Royal Blood….not everyone cup of tea but at least it’s different, which I’ve been calling for so can’t complain!

Tbf, Royal Blood headlined Victorious so this isn’t a surprise and will be about their level of festivals.  Did Y Not or Tramlines give Blossoms the bump up? Another one of these bigger in the north type bands (see Courteeners as an example).

Think it’s a typical Kendall sort of lineup and sure lots of them will be doing the rounds at the superstruct events

Blossoms have self-confirmed for Saturday. Royal Blood haven't even announced they're playing. Any idea which day RB and Kasabian are on?

Also, do KC do day tickets?

Songkick has RB down for Thursday. And as they don’t have dates for the other artist I would be inclined to trust it. 
 

*edit* Songkick actually also has RB down for the Friday of Trnsmt when poster says they’re on Sunday, so maybe don’t trust that. (Hope I’m wrong as I’m not sure if I would be able to make the thursday)

RB can't be Thursday since that's Chic. I'd guess Friday with Kasabian on the Sunday. KC tend to have their biggie on the Sunday.

That's what I'd assume, too. I'm hoping Kasabian, Kaisers and Confidence Man are all on the same day and I'll just go for one day

Sorry not lineup related… but do tickets for a Kendal ever/usually sell out? Not been before and I don’t want to commit to buying a ticket until nearer the time due to logistics

Looks like it sells out most years, last year the sold out tweet wasn't until a week before the festival though.

Now that all of the same sized festivals have revealed their line ups this week I think we’ve probably got the best full line up with Kendal. Maybe feel slightly aggrieved at the fact Rick Astley is probably going to sub just because they want that Blossoms/Smiths thing to happen when the likes of James, Bloc Party etc could have filled that slot but overall I think we win

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
