Thought I would share one of the many, many videos I got last year at their London stadium show! Let me know if I should post more 🖤

I made this illustration a while ago for a playlist cover and decided to use it for a poster!

Were any of you guys there? One of my favourite ever concerts

Their headline concert in 2018 was professionally recorded but never released, kendal calling teased it in a tik tok but we never saw the full thing.

Let’s ask on Kendal Calling social media, dms etc for them to release, so we can at least have something new but old to watch!

No too sure why they are saying free tickets to CATB when there is no show 😂. Unless there will be 👀

Edit: I know this is saying POV but I find it a bit odd and thought i would post it in here 😁

Cocoon reaches 200M, Pacifier creeping up on 100M

Tonight, I’ve been doing a deep dive into the most recent — and possibly longest-standing — image on the new CATB website.

Obviously, we still have absolutely no idea whether the website is legitimate, but every upload since May has been completely unique: not AI-generated and definitely not stolen. So, it’s either the work of a very dedicated fan or, maybe, just maybe, it’s actually them. I was looking into this image specifically. We already know it shows Llandudno, Wales, where the band first formed, but I decided to take a closer look at the bollards in the foreground. Irrelevant, right? Maybe not..

I counted eight visible bollards in the image. It’s worth noting that the original seafront contains far more than eight, meaning this could either be completely accidental or an intentional hint.
With the band’s LTD company being re-registered earlier this year, the renewal of the original .com website, and recent interactions and equipment sightings on current members’ Instagram accounts, it certainly feels like something could be on the way. But what does the number eight have to do with anything?

The last major show the band played in Wales was at Principality Stadium on 1 August 2025. August, of course, is the eighth month of the year, and with that date creeping closer by the week, could an announcement finally be on the cards?
Van has stated very clearly that he “needs another year alone”, so maybe this is a clever visual tease pointing towards something bigger — or maybe it’s complete nonsense. At this point, who knows? But we’re rapidly reaching the stage where we need something from the band, otherwise we’re all just going to become even more delusional.

A performance piece I do called “to stay is to suffer me” originally intended just to step out of my comfort zone and cry in front of an audience. Later evolving to a somewhat reflective piece about the experience itself. My poor partner had to kiss me with onion breath for days after the initial piece, motivating the title. Are we willing to stay with people with the knowledge that they’ve said or done things we don’t like? The knowledge that they may continue to do them? Are we willing to keep tasting the onions every time we kiss?

new website ive just come across, just says expired though
