thetime Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Isn't Frank Turner a big booking? Not heard one song of his but seems very popular, doesn't he play arenas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOCHLAND5 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Unless they're doing it as a favour for the Jodrell gig and the Jodrell live cd/dvd I just can't see it being elbow. A majority of the top 3 main stage acts Are usually bands you'd expect to see at academy size gigs, 2k to 3k capacity which seems traditionally to be in KCs price range, you're talking a massive leap in size to play and sell out arena gigs of 12k to 15 capacity. I know they're playing a few smaller venues at the start of their tour but they're just warm up gigs to tighten the show up before they hit the arenas. I'm not saying it won't happen, I'd just be amazed if it did, plus it would be by far the biggest headliner they've attracted. Everyone's been carried away before over the last few years with predictions of who's playing and then you get confirmations of the charlatans and frank turner ! I think it will be a decent announcement, maybes an unusual one that isn't on announcement none else's line ups yet. Can't see the announcement taking that long now, they'll want someone to start and push ticket sales again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfield Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Its virtually the same line-up apart from Y-Not hasn't got De La Soul. Don't think Kendal would get away with having Dizzee again (even given how well his sets go down). And White Lies ain't big enough to headline (wouldn't rule them out of doing a sub-headline slot though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaminglippy Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 white lies and shed seven appeal to me a lot though and its cheaper it is very similar though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flachwichser Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I see that's these are now back. They would be ideal for your dance band. They are our European version of Lancashire Hotpots from what I have see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 brilliant weekend (well, 2 days). Take your own booze and food in the arena as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaminglippy Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Can you take your own beer into the arena at kendal? If not is it the usual prices and choice? Edited March 18, 2014 by Flaminglippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Nah...you can't but its reasonably priced for a festival (if memory serves it was just under £4 a pint) and was decent. Unlike most festivals, especially the big ones, you've got a really wide choice, real ale, Tubourg etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooly JP Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sure the cans were £4 which i ended up drinking as the few times i tried pints of lager out of the pump it was pretty poor and undrinkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom Wall Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 think they've stopped now.. Sister Bliss still does DJ stuff under the Faithless name (it's kinda Faithless PA - headlined somewhere last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooly JP Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 As Suede are playing the Friday and Frank Turner the Saturday are they really gonna close with a dance act. If it is a dancey type act that is gonna play the Sunday headline, which i personally hope it isn't, what chance the Prodigy playing?

Swanbow Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Although they aren't great live I wouldn't mind seeing the Fratellis as the last headliner. Some good crowd pleasers. Also wouldn't mind New Order or Human League for a bit of nostalgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I would be ok with the fratellis playing but don't think they're big enough to warrant a headline role, maybes main support act. Saw them live at glastonbury the other year and they were horrible live, hopefully they've got better with time ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy Bean Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Give it a couple of months mate an you'll get the annual 'what's the best way to smuggle beer in to the arena' thread ! To be fair if you had a discreet few cans stashed on you it was easy enough to get em in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Might as well just cut an paste last years suggestions unless there's any new ones doing the circuit ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
