The Vaccines, Elbow & Snoop Dogg for Kendal Calling 2015

The Vaccines, Elbow and Snoop Dogg have been confirmed as three of the headliners for this year’s Kendal Calling.

The Lake District fest, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, has also confirmed plans to expand to a four-day event, set to take place from 30th July to 2nd August.

Elsewhere at the top of the bill, the likes of Kaiser Chiefs and James are leading the way, with The Horrors, British Sea Power, Palace and Kate Tempest amongst the other acts confirmed to perform in this first announcement.

Speaking of the fest’s tenth birthday, festival founder Andy Smith has said: “Since its humble beginnings as an teensy-eensy one and a half stage festival held in the grounds of a town centre art gallery back in 2006 to its current home spread across the stunning 300 acre Lowther Deer Park, home to our 12 stages (and more to come), it’s been an incredible journey. I think it’s fair to say this year’s line-up is going to take some beating though with an expanded festival seeing 5 headliners over 4 days and an eclectic spread across all stages, but the real beauty is in the atmosphere of the audience and that’s what it’s really about at Kendal.”
