Y Not lineup out then. Would imagine we will get a few from here. Charlatans must be a shoe-in? Wasn’t expecting them to be touring this weekend with Tim at Kendal. 
 

 

Gutted DMAs are not playing Kendal.

Few updates from the Kendal mail out today.

Kasabian Friday. Blossoms Saturday. Royal Blood Sunday. 

Frank Turner headlining parklands Saturday. 

Mel C and Confidence Man on Saturday.

Example before Kasabian on Friday.

Example before Kasabian is a big slot for him, but he's fairly high up on the poster I guess. Could see The Lathums headlining the new stage two and that bumps Example into sub.

Previous headliner if memory serves. Will do a decent job before Kasabian and the Young team will be up for it.

Not the most imaginative sub for 2023 but it will work.

I’d probably skip Blossoms and see Frank Turner to be fair

Yeah, if I was still considering this, I'd have been doing that for certain.

I'll say that I don't doubt that Example will be a VERY good time.

Hi, is anyone selling or know anyone who will be a selling a live in ticket?

[49Lawson]

Full Thursday line up out, Gengahr is a lovely little bonus

[Comfy Bean]

Not been down since before Covid. Did they move the main stage ?

Yes….the whole site changed last year. The Glow / Parklands stage (still a tent) is where the main stage used to be, and the main stage moved to where the entrance from general camping used to be. The site was much smaller as the area where the Glow Tent used to be wasn’t used last year

Ah ok cheers 👍 I always liked the main stage with the trees etc but the flooding not so much.

[Wilko888]

Big fan of the new main stage much bigger and better imo. MainStage toilet situation and entrance from camping need improvement but I’m sure they will sort that this year. 

[badleg08]

Genuinely think that if I was going to buy tickets for this year, I’d be torn between this and Y NOT based on experience/setting vs lineup. Not that the Kendal lineup is terrible. Just a few more personal favourites on the Y NOT lineup.

[Gottpotter]

Is this 100% confirmed? Sorry for asking a (probably) stupid question.

What are everyone’s thoughts on the full Kendal lineup and splits then? 

Not confirmed my summer plans yet so unsure which festivals I will end up at. Green Man, Deer Shed, Y Not, End of the road, and Kendal all looking strong.

absolutely love it - they also said under the Instagram post that the Parklands headliners don't clash with main stage headliners, so I can see Frank Turner and The Enemy, as I'm not bothered about Rick Astley or Kaiser Chiefs. The main stage is great almost all day each day, and hopefully can find some time between those bands to get to the Calling out too. Very excited about this one

There's even nothing til We Are Scientist that I really want to see so can set up leisurely and relax a bit 

[Comfy Bean]

Surely some Smiths covers in there somewhere on Saturday with Blossoms and Rick Astley at the top of the line up 🕺👍

I was just about to ask same thing. Really enjoyed their set together at Glastonbury. Anyone know how it’s going to work as it’s surely gonna happen? Will blossoms join Rick or vice versa? Or maybe just one merged set? 
 

[Comfy Bean]

Suppose it’s easier if he walks on and joins them but then it’s eating in to their set time. I reckon he’ll join them after an hour and do a couple of tunes. Looked brilliant on tv at Glastonbury so hope it happens 👍
