Emandjay Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 And in record time too. They only sold out a week or so before the festival last year. Wonder if the publicity from the channel 4 program helped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramragon Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 To be fair they're stretching it with the record time quote, they sold out earlier than usual but this year's tickets went on sale last August as opposed to the usual end of February date (yeah previously there's been a November pre sale that consist of several hundred tickets that sell out in 10 minutes or so). Still good to see it sold out though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinc72 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I was going to hold off for a bit longer to see if Kendal had anymore to announce but looks like that decision has been taken out my hands! Beacons festival for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Whiffen Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) I came close to selling my tickets a few times, but after really picking through the line up, there some gems and it is not half as bad as it first looks. My list of bands I will definitely be checking out are... Jimi Goodwin Black Rivers (hoping for the reunion) Catfish and the Bottlemen Miles Kane Happy Mondays Simon and Oscar Athlete Augustines Razorlight Borrell The Gramotones The Heavy Neon Waltz Lucid Dream Phoneys and the freaks Boneheads What's the story L.p. Our Fold The Tapestry. More than enough to keep me going there. Will be a month after The Libertines in Hyde Park too, so I will get a full indie day there.

Flaminglippy Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) Not sure if you have been to Kendal before or this was to be your first time but i feel you have missed out as i think the overall enjoyment has as much to do with the place as who you end up watching. I'm in agreement about the line up, it is pretty weak, and i feel there is very few bands i'll actually make the effort to watch this year but for me thats a bonus as i'll get to see a few more of the things i didn't last year.

stinkywhimp Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Spot on chap! You ALWAYS find some real gems doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaminglippy Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Our first KC and we booked before we new the line up, Main reason was word of mouth about the festival, hearing lots of good things over the last couple of years. As said about many festivals, "there's always something on somewhere " Me and the wife have found so e real Gems and had the best times in small tents dancing like a loon to someone new, then a week later going mad on the PC trying to work out who they were. Still can't wait Edited May 24, 2014 by Flaminglippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Remember randomly wandering into a tent a couple of years ago in the early hours and there were 2 women dressed as mermaids singing sea shanties. Bizarre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy Bean Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yeah, you won't be bored at Kendal. There is always some mad shit going down somewhere.
