What if Blossoms are subbing Courteneers?

I think we have to accept blossoms as a headliner at this point, did y not last year and Kendal this year. You never know but I’d say it’s unlikely

We'll probably end with Rick Astley too 😂

[sisco]

I personally think:

Friday - Courteeners, Heaton & Abbott

Saturday - Blossoms, Richard Ashcroft

Sunday - ??, Kaiser Chiefs

With Sugababes taking a special guest type role somewhere 

[sheffinghell]

Still looking for something to get excited about tbh. Apart from Blossoms and Sugababes, seen all these several times before, and although they're solid, not what you'd call mind-blowing

Richard Ashcroft nailed on headline - more likely Blossoms sub imo

[sisco]

I reckon add a Jamiraqoui/Jamie T on that Sunday I posted above and you’ve got a decent enough mid range fest.  (People need to remember the cost is really quite cheap)

The entry price is cheap - but extortionate food and drink prices, no reentry and no camping make it a more expensive affair.

I really don’t see it that way myself but we’ll find out soon.  Always nice to have different opinions

Sadly these days it’s like that with lots.  Look at that APE strokes day.  £90 for the day.  Think so of Noel’s day things are so like £60-£70.  Festivals are still massive value that way

Wondering if that one is photoshopped. The text is not quite central. Happy to be wrong.

Another from a different account - hoping I'm not accidentally spreading misinformation!

I guess we'll find out on Tues! 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

So we have ....

Blossoms

Richard Ashcroft

Paul Heaton

Courteeners 

DMA's

Sugarbabes

Kaiser Chiefs

 

Not looking too shabby to what it was looking like.  Chuck Self Esteem, and the likes of The Snuts and Red Rum Club in and it's decent.

I would love for circa waves to be added onto this list. Fantastic new album.

Still feel like they will be holding something back for Tuesday?

That’s why I think 1 of them isn’t a headliner.  Be silly to release them all

DMAs could easily be third down as they were scheduled in 2021.

Blossoms/RA sub? Jamie T/Jamiroqui/NG headline?

?

[Dronx]

I’m going 

 

Blossoms DMA’s

Courteeners Kaiser Chiefs

Ashcroft Heaton 

[thatTFBguy]

Blossoms and Courteeners!! I'll bloody take that like every day. Happy with DMAs and Kasier Chiefs as well. Add in a couple from the likes of Circa Waves, Vistas, Frank Turner and beabadoobee (all at Kendal) and we're really cooking.

We sure some of these aren't wind ups though? Seems like there's 4-5 headliners of a festival this size in the mix.

They have confirmed that there’s only 3 headliners this year.  (So no joint ones by the look  of it) 

[sameimpala]

Hoping someone good on other stage when ashcroft is on

You must be joking! I can only find one/two decent sized headline act for a 45k festival

Blossoms and Courteeners - headlined Y Not last year

Heaton & Abbott - Co Headlining Neighbourhood

Richard Ashcroft - Was due to headline Y Not in 2021

However I think 2 of the above will be Subs!

I never said it was a strong set of four headliners, but in the current landscape Courteeners, Blossoms, PH+JA and Ashcroft all have claim to headline a festival like Tramlines.
