Kendal Calling returns next week

In a weeks time Lowther Deer Park will be gearing up for one of its biggest events yet.

Thousands are expected to descend on the fields for this year’s Kendal Calling Festival.

Rudimental, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Madness and The Charlatans will be taking over the main stage from July 28 to July 31.

If you fancy a few hours in the Woodland arena you can catch Craig David’s TS5 in the Glow rave tent and the likes of funny man Jason Manford in the Sopabox tent.

Stage dates for the various artists have now been released. The main stage for Friday will include Rudimental, Catfish and the Bottlemen, We Are Scientists, Milburn, Molotov Jukebox, Too Many T’s, The Jacques and KC Resident DJ.

The main stage on Saturday includes Madness, Kelis, The Hives, The Darkness, Maximo Park, JJ Rosa, Lancashire Hotpots, The Chadelics and KC Resident DJ.

Taking to the main stage on Sunday will be Noel Gallager’s HFBs, Everything Everything, Lightning Seeds, Band of Skulls, Sugarhill Gang, Rag N Bone Man, Dub Pistols and The Sherlocks.

Art installations, comedy, food, kid’s entertainment, a cinema, a jazz and jam tent and a silent disco are just some of the other things on offer.

Last year the festival celebrated its tenth birthday and sold out tickets 19 weeks in advance.

Lost Eden and the Garden of Eden areas bring pampering and interactive art to festival-goers. Tickets via www.kendalcalling.co.uk.
