Who are you wanting as headline acts ?

[ramragon]

Another one in with a shout could be fatboy slim, loads of rumours over the years and would put on a great show

[Comfy Bean]

Madness and fat boy slim would be ace.

Catfish and jake bugg seem more likely.

I'm defo predicting an avicci / guetta type but my predictions are always shit so hopefully we will be OK.

If manics are on the road then could see them doing the wickerman kc double. UB40 would be good on the Thursday.

[t2t]

If Noel was to play I'd 100% be back!

 

I'd be in the Soapbox tent, just like I was for Doggy Snoop this year

[Lowther Calling]

I'd like to see Rage Against the machine, AC/DC, and prodigy. Far more likely is Manics (long overdue), one of the Gallaghers, and maybe, just maybe, the prodigy.

 

Would be a dream line up!

 

Just the Prodigy would be a dream come true at KC!  But they are still headlining major festivals, so unlikely

[cdm22]

There is some proper middle of the road dross being mentioned in here!

[Lowther Calling]

I heard from someone who definitely knows, snoop dog cost in the region of £400k.

 

Seems waaaay over priced:

Can't see that been right he preformed in middlesbrough last year, and tickets where £30ish

[Lowther Calling]

You can get Green Day or Adele for similar money!

[thurlow84]

Snoop was being offered to a local small venues for 30k id heard so i reckon he'd be on maybe up to 5 times that for the for the festival to get him there

[efcfanwirral]

He was defo on the list for this year but they lost out to T in the park .

That's amazing. Hopefully next year then, I can't see V giving him a headline slot (I don't think they can afford to from a low ticket sales point of view l) nor do I see reading going down that route, and Glastonbury don't seem to lock in exclusives anyway.

I would've expected him to be (miles) out the price range, don't really know why

[chuckles07]

i think that Manics and/ or Richard Hawley would go down a treat as headliners. An outside bet that would be brilliant would be Morrissey :-)

For the people's below 40 :-) I think bands like Of Monsters and Men, Lumineers, War on Drugs (all of which saw at Glastonbury last year) would be excellent. With a little bit of Jake Bugg who could headline as well.

Nice thoughts....

[chuckles07]

They tell the fans what they want to hear ! Trust me! 

 

they may reduce the size of the guest list but more tickets will be sold !

 

Just a few more to cover inflation think thats how its put!

Saw this on Eden council website from last January. Looks like numbers goes up....

Licensing applications approved for Kendal Calling and Zanzibar

Following the withdrawal of objections, licensing applications to extend the capacity of Kendal Calling and for a new licensed premises in Penrith called Zanzibar, have been deemed approved, subject to conditions.

The Special Licensing Committee Meeting due to be held today, was cancelled after the objections to both applications were withdrawn. This now means that the organisers of Kendal Calling, Lakeside Creatives Limited can now increase the capacity of the music festival, which is held at Lowther near, Penrith to 35,000 over the next three years.

Eden District Council Environmental Health Officers held meetings with representatives from Kendal Calling to address their concerns and amend some of the licence conditions last week.

It has now been agreed that Kendal Calling can start at 5pm on Thursday, 30 July rather than Midday and will continue until Monday 3 August.

The capacity for the 2015 event will rise to 25,000, and then increase by a further 5,000 next year, reaching a maximum of 35,000 by 2017.

An application by Glenn Anderson to create a new licensed premises called Zanzibar at Sandgate in Penrith, at the former site of the O’Neils Sports Lounge was also deemed approved subject to conditions.

Madness, Bastille, Manic St Preachers, Jake Bugg. Would be my guess right now

I'd love some Jamie T/Editors/Warpaint on the bill also but who knows

[blue6field]

Maccabees, water boys, maniacs and fat boy would make me happy

[goldiegrey]

Jurassic 5

[gorfield]

Franz ferdinand seem like an ideal sized band?

 

bloc party would be good too.

Cribs?

[Motownclic]

2015, was my first Kendal and looks like I'll be back next year. Jamie T or the Manics would make me a definite.

[Comfy Bean]

Saw Jamie t in the summer. Good shout and would appeal to the youth. Him or jake bugg would be ideal. I'd also be happy with the manics and Franz ferdinand but not sure if they are touring with ffs?

[johnboy1981]

Seem to remember an interview with one of the kendal organisers saying they try for Jamie T every year.

[Lowther Calling]

Lancashire Hotpots!!! *runs away*

[LOCHLAND5]

Lancashire Hotpots!!! *runs away*

How can you be a Cumbrian and say such foul shite ! ?

Wash your mouth out pray to your God and beg for forgiveness!

[ramragon]

Lancashire Hotpots!!! *runs away*

[johnboy1981]

Lancashire Hotpots!!! *runs away*

I pray you get bird flu in the eye.

[sharkey2007]

I might be punching above Kendal's Weight here but I would go wtih....

 

Thursday - Chic and Nile Rodgers (Party from start to finish)

Friday - The Hives (energy personified)

Saturday - Foals (perennial undercard favs on most festivals) 

Sunday -  Jamie T (For the yoof) 

[eastynh]

New Order will be out and about doing festivals next summer. I reckon they are a shoe in to headline Kendal.
