There is roughly two months until the 2024 Kendal Calling festival and organisers have revealed the stage splits.
Known as 'the mini-Glastonbury of the North,' Kendal Calling will take place from August 1 - 4, inviting world-class headliners and hundreds of other acts to the beautiful Lowther Deer Park in the Lake District.
This year's line-up features star headliners: Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Paolo Nutini, The Streets, Paul Heaton with guest singer Rianne Downey, and Keane.
Plus, Sugababes, Declan McKenna, The Reytons, Feeder, The Snuts, and Kate Nash, among many others, will grace the Main Stage.
The Parklands area, known for its lively atmosphere, will also host several well-known acts.
Lottery Winners, Lightning Seeds and Katy B are headlining, with supporting performances from Parklands regulars - The Pigeon Detectives, and lesser-known acts including The 900. There will also be appearances from Shaun Williamson with Barrioke, Dick & Dom and Gary Neville.
As the sun sets, the party doesn't stop.
GLOW will continue festivities in the Parklands tent with dance music by the likes of Shy FX with Stamina MC and Craig Charles.
New music will be featured in the Calling Out stage, showcasing emerging bands like The K's, Peace, and others.
Notably, there is a stage set for woodland performances, welcoming various artists playing various genres.
Artists headlining here include Lucy Spraggan and Temples, as well as a silent disco after dark.
Back for its 12th year, Chai Wallahs stage offers a wide variety of music from all over the world.
This year's line-up includes The Conservatoire Folk Ensemble, and the electro future-dub duo Omega Nebula among others.
Comedy is also part of the Kendal Calling experience, with stand-up sets from the likes of Angelos Epithemou, Justin Moorhouse and Olivia Lee at The Soapbox stage.
Fan favourite, Tim Peaks Diner, returns in 2024 with its specialty coffee and a line-up curated by Tim Burgess featuring A Certain Ratio and Dave Haslam.
Special sets are also expected with Helen O’Hara from Dexy’s Midnight Runners and the Royal Northern College of Music’s Session Orchestra performing.
No stranger to surprises, during previous years, unannounced performances were given by the likes of The Libertines and Blossoms.
These secretive sets add to the anticipation for this year's festival.
Another unique addition to the festival is the Desert Island Disco which promises shiny disco balls, cocktails and themed parties.
There is more still to be revealed.
Tickets are on sale now, marking the return of Kendal Calling this summer from August 1 - 4.
Festival-goers are expected to flock to the fields in great numbers, immersing themselves in the music, comedy, arts and experiences that set Kendal Calling apart.
