Summer Loving At Kendal Calling
The weather has hit that little sweet spot towards the end of June where we actually get some sunshine, after what has been quite a miserable and wet month… and how British am I starting this post with a bit about the weather? But what can I say, the sunshine really does improve my mood and make me excited for all of my summer plans.
The one I am most excited about though is attending Kendal Calling!
It’s a festival I’ve always wanted to go to, but it has always clashed with being away or another social occasion, but this year is the year, and I really cannot wait to get at the end of July! The fact that it is in one of the most beautiful part of the country too, is just the icing on the cake – I’m a huge fan of the Lake District, and I’ve never been to Kendal so I’m even more excited.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to a UK festival, but there is really something special about going on your home turf, and if the sun shines, it’s a million times better – come on British summer!!! It’s also been a fair few years since I’ve camped properly in a tent (and not a yurt!) which is one of the things I’m not looking forward to, seen as my last experience was in 30 degree heat, in Poland, but I know it’ll be an experience to remember!
The lineup is one that really stood out to me, with a real mixture of old and new artists including Nile Rodgers and Chic (who I saw last summer and were amazing) to my favourite band from back in the day, The Subways, to one of my new favourites, Years and Years. There is also a huge foodie influence, which I for one cannot wait for, as well are some comedic acts, so really something for everyone, and more!
The thing I love about Kendal Calling is that is really about the music and they have spent ages curating a brilliant line up. I’ve found over the past few years with going to other UK-based festivals that it is more about the drinking and dressing up more than anything else, and although that part is still fun and exciting, I definitely want my memories to be about the music.
For the full lineup and to get the last remaining tickets, visit the Kendal Calling website, and join me there!
