After celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2025, the award-winning Lake District music and arts festival, Kendal Calling, revealed its lineup for next year earlier this week…
Kendal Calling 2026 will be headlined by Two Door Cinema Club, Biffy Clyro, Wolf Alice and The Kooks, as the festival returns to Lowther Deer Park from Thursday 30th July to Sunday 2nd of August.
Also joining next year’s lineup are Scissors Sisters, The Vaccines, The Lathums, The Snuts, The Libertines, and plenty more, with some mysterious “TBC” slots to be revealed in due course.
Ben Robinson (Co-founder) commented: “I’m so excited to reveal next year’s line-up! Our brilliant team has secured a line-up worthy of the jaw dropping faith the Kendal Calling family put in us each year.
“Selling 95% of the tickets before announcing a single artist is the biggest compliment we could ever receive, so here’s an early Christmas present to say thank you!
“It’s been a long time coming booking Biffy Clyro, we’ve been courting them like blushing school kids for a decade, it will be a true highlight. As will Wolf Alice as they bring a big smile to the Cumbrian hills.
“Like any classic movie it’s not all about the leading roles, as ever we’re welcoming a cast of hundreds of artists to our stages and I can’t wait for you all to dig into this incredible group of musicians.”
The 40,000-capacity festival will transform the park into the third biggest town in Cumbria for the weekend, and yesterday the festival announced it was sold out!
However, all hope is not lost, with final limited Thursday tickets, upgrades, and accommodation going on sale at 10am today.
This also includes teen camping, child weekend camping, and under 5 weekend camping – all on sale at 10am today.
There is also an official fan-to-fan resale for any weekend tickets.
