The Prodigy, Courteeners, Fatboy Slim And Kaiser Chiefs are set to headline Kendal Calling 2025.

In 2025 the festival will celebrate its 20th anniversary organisers have announced the first wave of headliners on Friday, November 1.

Set to take place over the weekend of July 31 to August 3, 2025, the festival is estimated to bring 40,000 event goers.

Courteeners’ Frontman Liam Fray said, “Our set in 2019 was electric and was, so I’m told, one of the biggest singalongs Kendal Calling has ever witnessed. 

“So it goes without saying that we can’t wait to get back on the main stage, playing to 40,000 of you lovely lot. And as if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got 20 years of Kendal to celebrate, too. It’s going to be massive.”

Last Dinner Party, Travis, The Wombats, Frank Turner, The Lottery Winners and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, are also on the bill to perform at the event.

Thom Rylance of The Lottery Winners said: “Kendal Calling was our first proper festival, many years ago. And I think we’ve played it every year since.

“Except maybe one year, and I’m sure everybody said that was the worst year in history. I’ve had some of my most emotionally overwhelming moments of pride on stages in that field.

“Core memories I’ll never forget. The first festival that ever took a chance on our band, for that we’re forever grateful. Weird to say a festival feels like a homecoming show, I know, but it really does.”

As the festival is set to celebrate its 20th has lamented on its “humble beginnings”.

He said: “I can’t quite believe that we’re about to celebrate twenty years of Kendal Calling. From humble beginnings welcoming 900 party goers to Kendal’s Abbot Hall, to an astonishing 40,000 of you who turn out every year to revel in the sheer joy and excitement of the perfect party, a glorious gathering in the fields of Lowther Deer Park – wow.

“Let’s come together to celebrate 20 marvellous years, joined by headliners. These are some of my favourite acts ever and I was thinking just last night, it might be Halloween but it feels like Christmas. I’m so excited to see you all next summer in the place we love to call home – the fields.”
