The excitement levels are getting intense by the day as it gets closer and closer to one of the best independent UK festivals ever - Kendal Calling.
Taking place between 31st July to 3rd August 2025 at Lowther Deer Park near the beautiful and scenic Lake District, this is much more than a festival, but a celebration of great music, good vibes and an abundance of activities to keep friends, families and music lovers entertained throughout.
With 2025 also marking the 20th anniversary, that means only one thing, ya’ll better be in the mood to party as organisers have gone all out to ensure guaranteed levels of pure fun whilst also making precious memories to last a lifetime.
If you are keen to sink your teeth into the music then Kendal Calling start as they mean to go on with headliners, Kaiser Chiefs (Thursday), Courteeners (Friday), Fat Boy Slim (Saturday) and The Prodigy (Sunday). 4 Titans of the UK music scene, what more could you ask for!

Other artists playing across the weekend include Pixi Lott, Lottery Winners, Nina Nesbitt, Reverend And The Makers, Sports Team, Alfie Templeman, The Last Dinner Party and The Wombats, plus not forgetting a personal favourite of DARKUS emerging singer-songwriter Finn Foster. Honestly this is only just a slice of the action. Check out the full lineup for yourself and trust me it will have you saying wow, wow, wow!
However the fun does not just stop there because organisers have gone above and beyond, keeping with the party/celebration themes by also including other key elements such as The Taylor Swift Social (Swifties yes you read right - this is not a drill) , Bongos Bingo, plus comedians Lost Voice Guy and Jason Manford bringing in the laugh.
If you have ever been to Kendal Calling in the past, you will know well that organisers love to encourage a bit of dress us, and with this year being the 20th year milestone, this years theme is Celebrating The Good Times.
Expect a Halloween takeover in Parklands, a magical Christmas Calling Out, a wedding in the Desert Island Disco and of course – New Years Eve every night in The Town Hall!
On Sunday, the festival invites you to dig out your favourite Halloween costume, dress up as the Easter bunny or even take on the role of Santa Clause as we whisk you away on a whirlwind tour of the greatest parties on earth! So head’s up - it’s time to get planning that fancy dress outfit…
With so much on offer it is easy to see why Kendal Calling continues to be THE event of the social calendar each and every summer, attracting all generations of festival goers from far and wide.
With the 31st July getting closer and closer, the key question on everyone's lips - who is in the mood to partayyy!
