Taking place from 31 July – 3 August 2025, Kendal Calling is counting down to its 20th birthday celebrations next summer, and it seems fans are just as excited to return to the fields and get festivities underway! Just three weeks since the first wave line-up was revealed, including headliners Courteeners, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy and Kaiser Chiefs, Kendal Calling has now officially sold out, and in record time. Not only that, Cumbria’s biggest music festival has broken its own records, selling out for twenty consecutive years – a true testament to the glorious Kendal Calling community who return year-on-year to the hallowed grounds of Lowther Deer Park.
Andy Smith, founder of Kendal Calling said, “I don’t often find myself lost for words, but this year has completely blown us away. Twenty years, twenty sell-outs — it’s simply incredible. The demand for this one has been like nothing we’ve ever seen before. I’ve always said it’s the people who make the festival and the Kendal Calling community is truly something special, the very heart of what makes it all so magical. For nearly two decades, these four days have been the beating heart of summer, filled with joy, wonder, and celebration. Selling out before the year’s even up is astonishing, but there’s still so much to do behind the scenes to make sure this 20th-anniversary celebration is everything you could dream of and more. We can’t wait to share it with you.”
