Speaking about the return of Kendal Calling in 2021, festival co-founders Andy Smith and Ben Robinson said: “It’s a great feeling to be able to announce the return of Kendal Calling in 2021. Not being able to celebrate together in the fields last year has only heightened anticipation for our return this July with a lineup that truly captures what Kendal Calling is all about.
“It’s an honour to welcome back The Streets to headline this year’s show, along with Supergrass, Stereophonics and Dizzee Rascal all ready to make new festival memories – as well as massive names like Craig David’s TS5, Blossoms, The Kooks, DMA’s and Tom Grennan to name but a few.
“It’s sure to be an unforgettable moment stepping back into Lowther Deer Park this July and we can’t wait to have you all join us”.
There will also be stage takeovers from famed label Xtra Mile Records, Earache Records, BBC Introducing In Cumbria and more set to be revealed, alongside Kendal Calling’s family lineup, Soapbox comedy stage, emerging House Party stage, cult classic Woodlands stage, eclectic Chai Wallah programme and much much more.
With a vast number of 2020 ticketholders choosing to carry-over their tickets to 2021, a limited number of weekend tickets are now on sale, with fans encouraged to grab their place at the biggest festival party of the summer ASAP.
