KENDAL Calling has revealed the first acts for this summer’s festival, with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Rudimental, Madness and The Charlatans announced as headliners.
Also confirmed for the four day event at Lowther Deer Park are Craig David, Sugarhill Gang, The Darkness, Everything Everything, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Hives and We Are Scientists.
One of Manchester’s finest musical sons Noel Gallagher will be bringing a catalogue of festival-ready anthems to the fields with his High Flying Birds.
Expect cuts from his two hugely acclaimed solo records plus some old favourites as a genuine musical icon graces the Lake District with his mighty anthems.
Chart-topping drum and bass crossover kings Rudimental’s high octane, party sets have cemented their reputation as one of the best live acts around.
Celebrating 40 years since their formation, London legends Madness are the ultimate sing along band and their hit laden set is sure to include the likes of ‘Baggy Trousers’, ‘One Step Beyond’ and ‘Our House’.
A year on from their triumphant return with landmark album ‘Modern Nature’ and five years on from the founding of singer Tim Burgess’ festival favourite Tim Peaks Diner, The Charlatans return to Kendal Calling.
Tim Burgess, Charlatans singer and founder of Tim Peaks Diner comments: "As ever, I'm really looking forward to Kendal Calling. The sixth year in a row for me, the second time The Charlatans will have headlined and this year is the fifth year for Tim Peaks. It's going to be an extra special four days.”
Joining the headliners are indie rock sensation Catfish and the Bottlemen, quirky indie quartet Everything Everything, gritty three piece Band Of Skulls, incendiary Swedish rock and rollers The Hives, bombastic classic rockers The Darkness, enduring New Yorkers We Are Scientists, the smoky blues of Rag ‘n’ Bone Man and filling the now customary hip hop legends slot the mighty Sugarhill Gang.
Over on the dance stage will be none other than returning man of the moment Craig David, living legend David Rodigan MBE and Radio 1 and XOYO resident Toddla T.
Kendal Calling founder Ben Robinson comments: "My first gig in a field was Loch Lomond watching Oasis 20 years ago. That moment defined my youth and calling in the years to follow.
“Noel’s songwriting has soundtracked the lives of millions over the last two decades; it’s with great pride that we’re able to bring those anthems and his new hits to the fields of Kendal Calling. Alongside Rudimental, Madness, The Charlatans and the rest of the bill it’s going to be another weekend to remember.”
