Headlined this year by five unmissable acts Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Paolo Nutini, The Streets, Paul Heaton with guest singer Rianne Downey, and Keane, along with hundreds of other artists for festival goers to wrap their ears around.

Over four days, forty thousand festival goers will gather once again in the fields as Kendal Calling transforms into Cumbria’s third largest town.

The ultimate festival gathering, Kendal Calling is filled with otherworldly entertainment and escapism designed to intrigue, surprise and entertain all ages.

Joining the line up is Lucy Spraggan who made a much anticipated comeback releasing her latest album last August.

Hot off collaborations with Rudimental and Turno, Charlotte Plank who’s been tipped by the likes of NME and Zane Lowe heads to Lowther.

Well known acts the Sugababes, The Snuts, and Feeder are bringing their well know style along with British youth counterculture rockers Bilk. Midas Touch hitmaker ADMT.

Alfie Jukes who releases his latest single Eyes Wide in January, as well as Future Utopia, and teen punk powerhouse HotWax will be heading to the Fields.

Tim Burgess’ own Tim Peaks Diner, known and loved legendary sets as well as the very best coffee around and a line up and it’s bigger and better than ever.

Of course, there will be secret sets but as festival goers well know, they are… until the time comes… top secret.

Tim Burgess said: “I say it every year but I genuinely think this might be our best line up ever – to have A Certain Ratio playing live and to be making their set into an album is dream come true stuff for me.”

This summer, A Certain Ratio will not only be playing live at the Diner, but their set will also be mixed, mastered and pressed into vinyl so quickly that it will be available to buy at Tim Peaks on the Sunday of Kendal Calling, and what’s more, the band will be there to sign them.

A Certain Ratio said: “We’ve always wanted to play Kendal Calling, especially Tim Peaks Diner, so we are very excited.”

Having received his Fellowship at The Royal Northern College of Music in November, Tim Burgess will be collaborating with the Session Orchestra for a one off performance alongside Dexys Midnight Runners legend Helen O’Hara.

Elsewhere across the weekend at everyone’s favourite Diner, Dave Haslam will be hosting two book events as well as one of his legendary DJ sets on the Friday night which is not to be missed.

Two Headed Horse, who have been involved in the Help Us Help Us Bands project will be performing at Tim Peaks, as well as Leeds rockers Ultimate Thunder whose story with Tim Burgess was covered by the press globally.

Chris Hawkins will be bringing Names In Songs to life for the first time at a festival as part of his Tim Peaks FM show on Saturday and there is much, much more still to come.
