Kendal Calling 2025 sells out in record time
Just three weeks after the line-up was announced
Last updated 12 hours ago
Kendal Calling’s 20th anniversary extravaganza next summer has sold out 250 days before the event kicks off.
The 2025 festival, which is headlined by The Prodigy, Courteeners, Fatboy Slim and Kaiser Chiefs, has become the fastest-selling event in Kendal Calling’s two-decade history.
All tickets have been sold exactly three weeks to the day since the blockbuster line-up (so far) was announced.
Incredibly, Kendal Calling has now completely sold out for 20 consecutive years - a true testament to the glorious punters who return year-on-year to the sacrosanct turf of Lowther Deer Park in the Lake District.
Andy Smith, founder of Kendal Calling, enthuses, “I don’t often find myself lost for words, but this year has completely blown us away.
“Twenty years, twenty sell-outs — it’s simply incredible. The demand for this one has been like nothing we’ve ever seen before. I’ve always said it’s the people who make the festival and the Kendal Calling community is truly something special, the very heart of what makes it all so magical. For nearly two decades, these four days have been the beating heart of summer, filled with joy, wonder, and celebration.
“Selling out before the year’s even up is astonishing, but there’s still so much to do behind the scenes to make sure this 20th-anniversary celebration is everything you could dream of and more. We can’t wait to share it with you.”
With more names still to be announced, other acts on the bill include Travis, The Last Dinner Party, The Wombats, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Maximo Park, Skindred, The Lottery Winners, Scouting for Girls, Corinne Bailey Rae, The K’s, Reverend & The Makers, The Pigeon Detectives, Inspiral Carpets, Alfie Templeman, The Big Moon, The Royston Club, Nieve Ella, Lindisfarne, The Skints, and Sports Team.
Bringing mind-bending DJ sets to Lowther Deer Park are turntable wizards DJ Yoda and Mr Scruff, and Dub Pistols also perform.
Two Absolute Radio presenters will also perform at Kendal Calling - Jason Manford with a stand-up comedy performance, and Tim Burgess who will team up with the Royal Northern College of Music Orchestra for a truly unique set.
Next year’s Kendal Calling takes place from Thursday 31st July to Sunday 4th August 2025.
