Kendal Calling 2022


Main reason I went was to see Stereophonics. Went for a round of drinks as The Wombats started, crowd got huge while I was away so ended up losing all my mates and necking all their drinks.

Low and behold I ended up wrecked, somehow managed to stumble back to the tent and got 12 hours kip on the wet groundsheet. Missed Stereophonics 😢
 
I got 8 hours sleep as well - 5 til 12
Also didn’t drink a single non alcoholic drink until Monday morning
Good man. I'm getting old. need to pace myself on a four dayer

main stage I saw Hacienda classical and two Wombats songs because a lad wanted to see the Joy division song. Got both hits.

the problem getting a signal was a joke. Didn't meet up with a couple of groups of people until Sunday because we couldn't coordinate the times.

was looking at some photos from this weekends event, have they changed the setup of the venue this year? didnt seem as if the main stage was where its normally been in the past?
I thought it was in an awkward place near the entrance. i think 2019 rains cause problems for the old oak trees.

I'm not one for the main stage so, it didn't bother me.
The main compare is from sunderland, same one as a few years ago, and he is genuinely hilarious, not really telling jokes, just getting the crowd involved. Really good fun
Enjoying it is the main thing. Loads of different stuff to enjoy.

They got rid of wolf woods and put the main stage there. Which meant all the feral kids moved to general camping and ruined it
Can we complain about other stuff now?
So removing wolf woods has effectively forced all adults move to more expensive camping.
The bars logistics manager needs sacking immediately. How can you run out of beer in one day, cans the next and cider the next when you know how many are coming?
The entrance from GA up the hill was too small and you couldn’t get in when crowds were coming the other way.
Where were all the performers in Lost Eden this year?
The cup thing was disaster, we just ended up with a pile of them.

Forgot how hard a four day festival was. Enjoyed every mi ute though. Reytons top drawer for me
 
Did anyone see Slamboree? Drum and bass while a large bird raps, but they also have fire eating, sword swallowing and some lasses in underwear squirting each other with hot sauce. We walked out going “what did we just witness?”.

How did you manage to sneak shrooms in?
 
Heads up for anyone planning on going next year - the posher camping tickets are selling out very quickly this time. Emperor’s field and Live in vehicle are gone already.
People obviously weren’t too enamoured with the decision to turn general camping into 24 hr party people. My lot have decided to choose the hike from Great Plains over camping among teenagers.

Stopped at great plains the last twice, nice and quiet on a night and o ly about 10 mins to new area of main stage, mind the toilets and showers weren't the best this year.
 
Festival weather over here last night and today. Cracking thunder and lightening show last night about 7 and stair rods today at dinner time--spent 15/20 mins hiding in sainbos foyer before running out to get some bait

Mate, I’m used to General Camping bogs and what’s a shower? I’m only paying the extra cos my mates refused to go in GA again after this year.
