My boyfriend loves Chvrches, Jamie T and Hot Chip. So I'd like all those.

Craig Charles would suit me. I'm easily pleased. I tend to know a few random songs of quite a few bands so I'm usually happy to bounce between stages.

I'd quite like to see Showhawk Duo again. They were in House Party in 2014 and were one of my highlights

That would be pretty shit hot right there!

[Comfy Bean]

I seem to recall being in love with Belinda Carlisle so I'm up for that.

Also, would be good to see bombskare back in chai wallas :-)

[Lowther Calling]

Bombskare are amazing, saw them at Solfest last year!

Its one of those Festivals that we just rock up to no matter whats going on really...

 

Dreadzone is the main band for me this year... Its now so much better now the main stage has gone, and the enormous dance tent has gone! Kind of gone back to its roots really.  The only thin i'm put off by is the camping isn't by your car any more, from what I can gather it will be like an Emperors kind of set up, but I imagine that will be something forced on them.  

[Dixo]

New album out soon. Please can we have The Courteeners

[Mattiehall]

Going off the usual pattern of who played Parklife the year before (example/snoop/rudimental) then it's looking like Bastille or Chemical Brothers

Pretty sure Courteeners will be booked for the Manchester crowd

Would love Jamie T personally

Watched most of their set a T in the Park in July. Crowd loved it, think there is a very good chance they could be at KC next year.

I also rated showhawk duo in 2014 as one of my highlights. Think a few people just wandered in to escape the rain but no-one left. Really hope craig charles is back next year in a slot after the main stage is over. Going to see him at On Blackheath next month 

[Saturn5]

Blossoms, Richard Ashcroft, Jamie T, Last Shadow Puppets, Jake Bugg, New Order, Faithless.

I enjoyed Bastille far more that I was expecting at Glastonbury bury this year, and I'd take the Chemical Brothers....I'd take that

[LOCHLAND5]

Get these on in woods 

 

 

[paddyclark]

Jean Michelle Jarre 

Chemical Brothers

The Strypes

The Struts

Blossoms (Main Stage)

I like Jake Bugg (but a right cold fish on stage and too big not to headline)

Jungle

Nathaniel Rateliff and the night sweats

Molotov Jukebox again

Dub Pistols again

Band of Skulls again

 

[OurFrank]

Manics, Primal Scream, Courteeners. Any of them would be great.. then again I'll be happy with anything! It'll be my first time at the festival, really looking forward to it! 

Hoping buying tickets before the line up has been announced or even rumoured doesn't backfire!

[Comfy Bean]

Watched this last night. Should Kendal take a chance and book Chvrches to headline next year ? Would it even be seen as a gamble now ?

Seen them a few times and they have come on hugely as a live " act " since the first time I saw them in a half empty tent at T - in the new band tent. I think they would just about have enough with the 2 albums as they normally throw in the odd cover.

Just got back from Bestival last night. 

Utter crap compared to KC . Made me appreciate the organisation behind KC and what a good job they do.

Some good stuff at Bestival was Caravan Palace - managed to get the main stage packed and rocking at 12:30 on a sunday!

also , Years and Years were good , The Cuban Brothers would be perfect at KC great fun. The Human League i wasn't looking forward to them but they were amazing. And my absolute favourites Oh My God It's The Church (they were on in the woods KC15)

Did notice a few people saying Bastille......man they are awful , sooooo boring , totally killed the vibe.

Major Lazer were crap by all accounts (could see KC booking them as Friday headliners) and lets say the booking of the whole Grime scene sort of ruined the atmosphere for a lot of people , i certainly wouldn't take kids there.

Rant over.

Cheers fellas 

I suspect you`re both right.

Would be happy with most on Lochlands list plus the return of some of Alabama 3 Dreadzone Bombskare.

Didn`t spend much time at Calling Out this year compared to last. Hopefully that changes for next year.
