This year punters were treated to fantastic weather almost throughout the weekend – something that is far from a given in the Lake District.

The festival was headlined by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Madness and Rudimental with additional sets from the likes of Everything Everything, The Charlatans and Peter Doherty.

Special mention should go to local boys New York Tourists who drew a substantial crowd over to the Woodlands Stage.

Ben Robinson, festival director at Kendal Calling, said:Ā ā€œFrom small seeds a stunning and magical festival has been created in theĀ fields of Cumbria.

“Our thanks go out to every single person who joined us inĀ the fields this year. Festival-goers and the staff working to stage the eventĀ came together and created an atmosphere and weekend that will beĀ remembered for a long time to come.

“Without question the 11th KendalĀ Calling was the best yet and an exciting new decade for the festival liesĀ ahead.”
