Stereophonics performing at Glyndwr University Racecourse Stadium, Wrexham
Six acts have been offered the chance to headline this year’s Kendal Calling festival.
Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, Franz Ferdinand, Brian Wilson, Tinie Tempah and Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls will all act as main acts in July, heading up a bill which also features Jake Bugg, Frightened Rabbit, The Coral and Slaves to name a few.
“We’ve been fortunate to headline and play at some amazing festivals over the years and it’s an honour to play at Kendal Calling this summer a first for us in the Lake District,” Richard Jones of Stereophonics comments. “See you there!”
Fellow headliners the Manic Street Preachers add:
“We are genuinely thrilled to be headlining Kendal Calling, a festival we have always wanted to play in a truly inspiring setting.”
And of the decision to curate a top-heavy line-up, Kendal Calling founder Andy Smith remarks:
“Drastic times call for drastic measures and to that end we’ve gone the whole nine yards! We’re excited to be welcoming no less than 6 headliners to the fields this year, including Brian Wilson’s last appearance on these shores as he performs Pet Sounds in full. See you in the fields!”
