Kendal Calling 2026 full line-up revealed

95% of tickets have already sold for the 2026 Lowther Deer Park event but tickets will go back on sale at 10am on Wednesday (17 December) after the line-up is confirmed at 8am on Tuesday (16 December).
Ben Robinson – Co-founder Kendal Calling said: “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 98% 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.”
It will be held from 30 July – 2 August 2026.
