When is Kendal Calling 2024? Lineup, dates, and ticket information as Gary Neville to DJ

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, The Streets and Paolo Nutini have been confirmed as three of the headliners of Kendal Calling festival for 2024 - but look out as well for a DJ set from Gary Neville.

Paul Heaton and Rianne Downey are also given top billing, as are Keane – who are celebrating 20 years of debut album Hopes and Fears this year. 

The July event regularly attracts 25,000 and has been held at Lowther Deer Park in Cumbria since 2006. It is just one of a whole host of music festivals that fans can look forward to in 2024. 

Other acts on the bull include Feeder, Sugababes, Katy B, Declan McKenna, Shy FX , Sundara Karma, The Snuts, and Pale Waves.

The line-up is exciting fans and also artists, with Nutini tweeting: “We are buzzing to be playing this years @KendalCalling in the Lake District.” 

One surprise addition is a DJ set with Tim Burgess, going back to back with former footballer Gary Neville. 

Burgess, the frontman of The Charlatans, said: "I'm very excited about the prospect of DJing with Gary – he's got great taste in music.

"The last time we shared a stage was when he joined The Charlatans on guitar.

"Can't promise we'll be doing any songs together but there might be an impromptu singalong at some point."

Last year, Kendal was headlined by Kasabian, Royal Blood, Blossoms, and Nile Rodgers. 

When is Kendal Calling 2024?

Andy Smith, Kendal Calling co-founder, said: "It is with much joy and excitement we share with you today the biggest Kendal Calling line-up to date.

"We have the perfect ingredients for a fantastically celebratory weekend. But as ever the most important ingredient is you – and we can't wait to see you in the fields."
