line up prediction game 2015

[ramragon]

Guess it's time to dust off the line up prediction game for 2015, the rules are the usual

Choose 20 bands that you think might play, either big or small it doesn't matter, please don't put on the site regulars as if we included them then everyone's list would be the same ! So no craig charles, hotpots, riot jazz band or Tim burgess ! (Any other site regulars people can think of ?)

You can make changes until the 11.59pm on the day before the first announcement comes out. The date isn't known yet but it will be well publicised and probably pretty soon !

Before the cut off point you can change your 20 as many times as you want, just edit them or repost, it doesn't matter which

Whoever has the most acts at the time the final line up announcement is made will be the winner and the other people entering have to buy them a pint at festival (usually thurlow)

In the event of a draw we'll use who has the most headline acts across the stages to decide then the headline support acts if there's still no winner.

Don't forget it's just for fun

[Comfy Bean]

Oh and Lippy, I`ve now given up hope of your shout for Sir Jim Cliff showing up. Hopefully I`m tempting fate here !!

[johnboy1981]

fancy some big acts this year with the news on the capacity increase and it being the 10th year.

[thurlow84]

Can I have 2 guesses here?

The competitive side of me wants to stick to a line up that I think is very likely but I still wanna put more of a wish list type.effort

I'd buy myself a pint if I won with one and lost the other

[Pooly JP]

I'm just waiting for you to post yours so i can just copy and paste it.

Still owe pints from the last ones anyway.

Negative

I had been waiting on yours as well but my new plan is just to edit mine after your post

Catfish and the Bottlemen must be the nap this year. Hope Craig Charles still makes it but maybe back on the Sunday night.

[thurlow84]

Well I guess I'll just have to leave it until 16th Feb to make my predictions for this year

I'm just as in the dark as everyone else

I just seem to get lucky

[ramragon]

Hey go for it Thurlow you won 2 years running so have a shot. If you get 1 and 2 in the league with 2 different line up choices ur windows are going out tho !

[RPDB]

I think there could be a couple of big headliners being the 10th year. Maybe this is more of a wishlist but these bands are all doing the rounds this year so any of the following...

The Prodigy

The Charlatans

George Ezra

Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds

Paul Weller

Gaz Coombes

Hozier

The War On Drugs

Cast

The Proclaimers

Ocean Colour Scene

The View

Billy Idol

James

Belle and Sebastian

I also think there will be a big pop act this year.

[ramragon]

I suppose I'd better start slapping my lost together, looks like everyone's got till mid February to finalise their lists.

The choices below are who I could see playing rather than who I want to play so don't heckle me !

It's hard to guess the sort of budget they'll have for headliners and seems like they're adding a 4th one this year as well. The bigger capacity should attract a few bigger names as well.

Rudimental

Pigeon detectives

Tunng

Alabama 3

Band of skulls

George ezra

We tang clan

Public service broadcasting

Magic numbers

Flaming lips

Vintage Trouble

The fratellis

The war on drugs

Peter hook

George clinton

Kodaline

Gaz coombs

Noel Gallagher

Mispers

Circa waves

Ed Sheeran? After selling 180,000 tickets over 3 nights at Wembley....really?

[SloopJohnB]

Do you get bonus points for naming all three headliners?

Just asking

[ramragon]

I couldn't see them affording ed sheeran either, you never know though ! As for bonus points, er no but you'll have a better chance of winning if it's a tie.

They're opening the main stage Thursday this year so you might find they announce 4 headline acts as well

[thurlow84]

My first attempt ilikely one with the bands I'd like to see. I'll put thought into it when I've got time and put who I think are more likely

1 Bc Camplight ( Eels)

2 Little Comets (Manic Street Preachers)

3 Vintage Trouble

4 Beardyman ( Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)

5 The 45s (Terrorvision)

6 Black Rivers (Benjamin Booker)

7 The Travelling Band (Tijuana Bibles)

8 British Sea Power (The Postcard Band)

9 Wild Beasts (The Vaccines)

10 Goldheart Assembly (The Courteneers)

11 Peace

12 The Gramotones

13 Thingambob and the Thingamajigs

14. Dub Pistols (Goldfrapp)

15 Beans on Toast (The Gaslight Anthem)

16 The Lottery Winners

17 Colt 45

18 Will & The People (Reverend and the Makers)

19The Tapestry (Karima Francis)

20 Ki Creighton (Starsailor)

I've edited the post so it shows the bands I think will be there, left my original guess in brackets so I can compare

Didn't you say in another post that you had an idea of the lineup? Can we look at yours as an indication of what it may be?

errrrrrr no !

I heard a rumour before xmas about 1 possibilty as a headliner tbh i sniggered and said no chance!

All the above apart from 1 or 2 are touring academy size venues or smaller or have new albums out soon or are out doing festivals around the time of Kendal.

I will be miles out , thing is its difficult an extra night an increased capacity with no real room for a bigger crowd at the mainstage so the dance tent and the calling out will no doubt be stronger and more recognizable names to make them areas busy !

Dont panic though im sure there will be a few randoms on in the woodlands area get announced .................. The ones you go who the feck are they ! never heard of them!

[johnboy1981]

What makes kendal good for me, randomly walking into a tent to find something new,so is your rumour on your list?
