Kendal Calling 2026 – Review
There’s always something exciting about the build-up to Kendall Calling. You know what’s coming, you’ve seen the lineup, and you’ve already picked out the bands you absolutely must see. This year, some of the big ones for me were Two Door Cinema Club, Wolf Alice, The Libertines, The Kooks and many more.
Scissor Sisters – Ludlow Castle
Glitter-covered faces and neon outfits lit up the castle grounds, and every shade of pink imaginable was on display.
Richard Ashcroft – Ludlow Castle
From the opening act to the night's unforgettable finale, Richard Ashcroft's sold-out show proved that great live music shines regardless of the forecast.
The Streets – Ludlow Castle
Ludlow Castle provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of live music on Thursday 24 July, with the historic venue bathed in sunshine and the town itself buzzing long before the gates opened.
Royel Otis – O2 Institute, Birmingham
Their effortless melodies and infectious sound have always stood out to me, and hearing those songs performed live gave them a whole new energy.
