With fewer than 500 weekend tickets left for this year’s Kendal Calling, organisers have revealed the festival’s Thursday night line-up.
Nile Rodgers and CHIC will entertain the crowds keen to roll into the festival fields a day early, plus Scouting For Girls, Black Honey, Gengahr and Rose Gray are all set to perform.
Kendal Calling, at Lowther Deer Park, takes place from July 27 to July 30 – fans are urged to get their tickets now to avoid missing out. Thursday tickets start from £35.
Nile Rodgers and CHIC will make their anticipated return to the main stage. Rodgers is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and a multiple Grammy Award winning songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist.
As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like Le Freak, the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records, and sparked the advent of hip-hop with Good Times.
Scouting For Girls, no strangers to adoring festival crowds, bringing with them their timeless sing-along hits She’s So Lovely, This Ain’t A Love Song and tons more. Plus, the Brighton quartet channelling fantasy, escapism, and magical goodness Black Honey, English indie rockers back with their first dose of very welcome new music in two years Gengahr, and the widely tipped club-pop sensation bringing zesty summer vibes Rose Gray.
Chai Wallahs stage returns to the fields this summer, and will play host to its very own Thursday line-up filled to the brim with world music including TC & The Groove Family, Will & The People, The Kubricks, Bare Jams, Tricky Disco as well as Are You Being Served? Ft. Diplomat of Sound DJs. Chai’s unique touring venue has played host to some of the best afrobeat, funk, reggae and hip-hop on the planet over the last 15 years – expect amazing sounds from across the globe accompanied by amazing pizza and atmosphere with the real ale tent right next door.
Plus, say organisers, there is much more on offer for those who want to start the party early.
