Must be confident in it to drop it that close to Christmas, time to let the delusion begin!

[Ozymandias]

[Ozymandias]

Think this means Bastille, the Streets and the Libertines arent headlining 

[Goer190]

TDCC never headlined

Reytons never HEADLINED 

Biffy never headlined 

Ashcroft never headlined

 

Anyone else who's been guessed/mentioned?

Had a look back through the thread

 

Chemical Brothers

Foals

Wolf Alice

Nothing but Thieves

 

Wolf Alice perhaps most likely of these

[49Lawson]

Dare I throw Pulp into the mix?

[Ozymandias]

I think you might be right about 2 or all 3 of Ashcroft, Reytons and TDCC.

 

Not so sure about Biffy but its exciting not to feel certain pre-announcement

Yes please

[Goer190]

TDCC and Ashcroft I'm pretty confident on (based on nothing at all but gut feeling)

you can throw it in and take it straight back out with their uk festival exclusive at end of the road.

[Ozymandias]

Also worth mentioning is The Maccabees, CMAT and The Wombats headlining Truck Festival which is ran by same company --- Wouldn't be thrilled with any of these options though personally

[KH94]

Based on nothing, but…
 

Thursday: The Kooks (Anniversary) or Dizzee

Friday: Wolf Alice or TDCC

Saturday: Pet Shop Boys or Faithless

Sunday: Snow Patrol

Sounds good although Dizzee actually headlined a couple decades ago so dont think it can be him

Fantastic. Friday by the looks of it - should hopefully lead into a good headliner that night too.

If Wolf Alice headline then you're in for an absolute treat. I saw them at Manchester Arena the other week and I can't overstate just how great it was. They've taken huge strides in terms of their show, and the new album is absolutely brilliant live, I've been obsessed with it in the 2 weeks since. You'd imagine with them doing Tramlines that it puts them firmly in the frame for Kendal. The setting would suit them perfectly I think

Some close friends went to this show also and echoed similar sentiments, so I would be glad to see them there.

Similarly, I saw Ashcroft at the Co-Op Live in November and thought he was fantastic. Admittedly its all the Verve songs that are great and not the solo stuff but would still be excited to see him again here.

Final guesses?

Final guesses?

I'll go for

 

Thursday: TDCC (Toursit History in full)

Friday: The Reytons

Saturday: Richard Ashcroft Or Wolf Alice

Sunday: Biffy Clyro

 

Scissor Sisters are a given now (which is fantastic, saw them at Hardwick this year and what a show), CMAT, The Maccabees (no North West show, might check out, they may even headline), Wet Leg, Shed Seven, The Lottery Winners, Faithless, Keo, The Vaccines, Freddie Halkon, The Fratellis, Vanessa Carlton, Friendly Fires, Getdown Services and The Libertines as special guest 

(The above is a mix of reasonable guesses/wishlist based on other Superstruct festival announcements)
