Elbow, The Horrors, Kaiser Chiefs, The Vaccines and James will all be helping Kendal Calling to celebrate its 10th anniversary this summer.

“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,” founder Andy Smith remarks.

Also on the bill for the event, which is held between July 30th-August 4th at Lowther Deer Park in the Lake District, are The Levellers, Snoop Dogg, Embrace, Nick Mulvey, Billy Bragg, British Sea Power, Fuse ODG, Lucy Rose, Kate Tempest, Mr Scruff, Emmy The Great and The Bohicas.

“I think it’s fair to say this year’s line-up is going to take some beating though with an expanded festival seeing five headliners over four 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,” Smith continues.

Tickets are on sale from today (February 17th).
