Primal Scream are confirmed for Kendal Calling this summer.

Primal Scream and Red Rum Club are among the names added to Kendal Calling 2026 which will be back at Lowther Deer Park between July 30th-August 2nd.

“We’re so excited to reveal more of this incredible line-up with everyone!,” the event’s co-founder Ben Robinson has responded.

Starting with Primal Scream who are such an important band to us. Their headline set in 2013 felt like a hugely significant moment in the festival’s history and with the 2020 set that never happened, we feel like we’re long overdue another amazing moment with them.

“Elsewhere Chai Wallahs is once again shaping up to be one of the summer’s highlights as they for their 14th year of Kendal Calling with an amazing programme of musicians, parties and more of the mind blowing creativity that only they can deliver.”

“We’ve so much else to share with you, but until then, best of luck to everyone joining the re-sale on Monday, see you in the fields!”

The over 50 new artists join previously confirmed headliners Two Door Cinema Club, Biffy Clyro, Wolf Alice and The Kooks.
