today's announcement

[ramragon]

So we get an announcement at 10.30 of an exciting new addition and then the final headliner at 11 am.

Any last minute ideas or tip offs ?

And how's the reaction when the announcements made !

[rjam77]

Augustines... can't say I've ever listened to them myself...

Makes me point towards The Fratellis as the last addition, unless they're going to add more at a later date!

Underwhelmed

[ramragon]

They're excellent live, seeing them a week on Saturday at the sage. Their energy might not come across on record that they put across live. Happy with that

Augustines.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[ramragon]

Not sure if I'd class them as big enough to warrant their own announcement though. They'll probably be somewhere on the calling out card.

I would guess a lot of people won't have any idea who they are !

[Lowther Calling]

Augustines... Whhhhhooooooo??????????????

[Emandjay]

Yeah that's what I meant. Thought it was going to be someone bigger the way they are doing the announcement

[ramragon]

They remind me of the gaslight anthem live, for some reason I can't seem to post videos on here but check out 'nothing to lose but your head' for later stuff

Example

Example??? Not for me that!!!

[thurlow84]

Told you guys about augustines the other day......example is a shit headliner

[johnboy1981]

Fuck my hat,looks like the real ale tent is the highlight, example is bullocks.

[LJS]

Unable to go to KC this year. I have to say with the line up, I'm not too disappointed. Not a patch on last year in my opinion.

I'm sure it will still be great fun tho!

[MickeyMo]

Example? Calling Out tent for me on Sunday night then. Totally underwhelmed with that announcement.

Augustines will be good though.

[ramragon]

Don't think example is a bad headliner, might not appeal to me that much but the wife an daughter will enjoy him. At least he's a big enough name and worthy enough to warrant a headline slot at kendal.

They traditionally set you up with a dance act, indie act and an established act and that's what you got again with example, Frank turner and suede.

Not many dance orientated people on here so the announcement was never gonna go down overly well !

[johnboy1981]

Yeah but he'll be the Sunday closer, obviously someone has cancelled plus I don't think Mr Boon would class Example as huge would he?

[eddiepolio]

We were dreading him last year at rockness especially since he was following fatboy slim but he was amazing. Totally hooked into the energy of the crowd and the place was bouncing. Every song turned out like a 12 inch version with loads of great beats at the end. He's still a bit of a cock though.

[Lowther Calling]

Please with the result... If it had turned into Indie fest, my ticket would have been for sale!

[SloopJohnB]

I saw Example at Glastonbury last year..... He was surprising good and went down well with the crowd
