How can I buy tickets for Kendal Calling 2026?
Final tickets for Kendal Calling 2026 go on sale this Wednesday 17th December here.
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.”
Last year's Kendal calling saw headline performances from Courteeners, Fatboy Slim and The Prodigy with Kaiser Chiefs celebrating 20 years of their Employment album as the special Thursday night headliner, plus The Wombats, Travis and The Last Dinner Party also among those on the bill.
