2025 - 20th Anniversary

[chickenfire]

Just bought tickets to Kendal Calling for the first time and noticed there wasn't a 2025 thread so might as well start it!

 

As it's the 20th anniversary I'm hoping for a decent line up but it's always looked good enough for me to gamble on going.

Any early predictions? 
I'll guess Fontaines DC

20 years since a thousand people kicked off Kendal Calling in a tiny park in the middle of town. It’s come a long way from that weekend.😊

 

Probably Kasabian for one of the headliners.

 

oh and Lancashire Hotpots will be there!😁

I’m going Thursday : lottery winners or Jamie Webster 

 

Fri courteeners or catfish and the bottle men 

 

Saturday snow patrol or fountains Dc

 

Sunday Biffy clyro / Florence and the machine

We got ourselves tickets too, we did Y Not this year as the lineup just about shaded it (Snow Patrol and Noel vs Noel only out of the headliners we liked, plus a few others), and it was fun but Kendal is better. Every faith they'll pull out a good lineup for the anniversary.

 

I saw in the Kendal Facebook group that there was a mural on site this year around the fences that acted as a sort of Kendal timeline, and they had a picture of Courteeners next to the 2025 bit so that's a fair prediction!

 

I also hope Snow Patrol, they were amazing at Y Not and wouldn't complain at seeing them again.

I don't see Catfish playing this while doing stadium gigs. Snow Patrol sounds about right. I still feel Biffy at least will aim above this. I reckon Victorious being the biggest of that selection by a distance managed to get them as the big headliner.

 

If you came out of that with Courteeners, Fontaines DC and Florence I'd question if it was a big anniversary myself but I couldn't deny the size of the acts.

Florence is defo bigger than Biffy so if she can do it then so can Biffy.  Can’t actually see where Biffy go now barring the mid tier festivals (and they’re my fav band).  

I was thinking the likes of Vampire Weekend (prob too big), Franz Ferdinand, Primal Scream, Faithless, The Prodigy (again, maybe too big) and TDCC. 
 

Judging by prev lineups (Courteeners, Libertines, Doves, Blossoms all headlined in recent years)
