With the sun shining and summer already beaming over the horizon, the anticipated return of Kendal Calling draws ever closer – with the beloved festival returning to the stunning Lake District this July after three years away with an incredible lineup spanning huge headliners, unmissable new talent and something for everyone as a true festival institution returns in style!
Adding to a jaw-dropping weekend impossible to resist are even more names, all coming together to celebrate its 15th Birthday in style – from incredible party-starters to some of the most exciting new artists going right now! True festival favourites, Hot Chip will be bringing their special Hot Chip Megamix show to Kendal Calling this year, for a set that sees the group diving into their record collection for a party celebration perfect for such an occasion. Likewise, expect giant festival singalongs and a show-stealing performance from Wakefield’s own The Cribs. The Jarman brothers have become part of the very DNA of British indie music over the past 15 years or so, and with a rapturously received headline tour earlier this year proving they’re as unstoppable as ever – you won’t want to miss their Kendal Calling return this summer.
Blazing a trail over the past few years, and absolute Kendal Calling favourites, The Big Moon return to the fields this summer with cuts from their two studio albums to date bound to sound extra sweet in Lowther Deer Park after so long away, while The Academic continue their ascent to the top with the blistering indie hooks destined to cause scenes from the very first note this summer.
