2025 - 20th Anniversary

[SummerSolstice]

Just had a ping on my phone from Songkick saying Maximo Park are playing Kendal Calling in 2025.

Jake Bugg that high. James that low. The Black Keys subbing Thursday. 

 

Lots of major lol material here.

Potential leaked lineup. Personally don’t believe it as headliners are too strong, and too many repeats from last year 

My favourite thing about looking at fakes like this is when your brain, for some reason looks at a poster like this, knows it’s 1000% fake and goes “ooo, would be a good line up that though”

Just seen the original TikTok it came from- was just a prediction

The guy who made this on TikTok said it was just his prediction. Cracking lineup tho

That's not a leak because The Prodigy are headlining

Think this is a great shout 

[SkintyFia]

Just seen that The Twang and Faithless are around too so i’d expect them on the lineup somewhere

[49Lawson]

I know Maximo Park have it as they're playing but surely they'd be a weak sub/headliner here? Would have them as a Parklands header at the very most these days.

 

Heart Prediction:

 

Thursday: Faithless (Late Night/DJ Set) / Doves

 

Friday: Fontaines D.C. / Suede

 

Saturday: The Prodigy / Franz Ferdinand

 

Sunday: Biffy Clyro / Manic Street Preachers

 

Head Prediction:

 

Thursday: Same as above (maybe swap Faithless for Fat Boy Slim)

 

Friday: Courteeners / Bloc Party

 

Saturday: Snow Patrol / DMAs

 

Sunday: Gerry Cinnamon / Franz Ferdinand

 

I have no idea what it will end up like really, but the fact Kendal tickets are about £250 once you add the Thursday on, I think they need to be projecting their line-ups a bit higher than some of the acts we've had in recent years (looking at you here, sub-headliner Rick Astley). Either way, I'm excited for the reveal tomorrow

Getting old headliners back where they can would make sense. Doves would fit in with that too, maybe The Cribs again?

One I've just considered - maybe Elbow, perhaps for the Thursday? 

[Sparticus]

Can count doves out, they're announcing mid November. Elbow instead would be great!

[49Lawson]

Ah, bad news about Doves that. I like the idea though that they might have tried to book a few former headliners as a sort of 'Kendal through the ages type thing'.

Sundara karma are breaking up can’t imagine them showing up

This was confirmed as a fake further up.

Kendal Calling have just posted this:

 

”We've watched this party grow from a get together in our local park to an adventure beyond our wildest expectations and we expect our 20th birthday to take us that one step further. A celebration of Kendal's past, present and future - from first time headliners to returning favourites.

Whether you've been on this ride with us since the beginning or making the pilgrimage to the Lakes for the first time, one thing's for sure - you're in for the party of a lifetime!”

 

Any late guesses on the returning favourites or first time headliners?

Makes it sound like there is at least one first time headliner. I can see The Prodigy as one of the new headliners and Biffy Clyro joining them. Stereophonics returning. That's probably way too strong.

I hope you’re right haha!

 

I think they put a banner up at the last festival (I’m certain I saw it on here or the Facebook group) which seemed to heavily hint at Courteeners (returning) and Gerry Cinnamon (debuting header) which is why I can’t see past them at present
