You can now buy Kendal Calling tickets before general sale kicks off, as the 2026 lineup is finally revealed (buy tickets here).
Today (December 16), it was announced Biffy Clyro will headline next year’s event at Lowther Deer Park in the Lake District.
The Scottish rockers will be in good company too, with The Kooks, Two Door Cinema Club, and Wolf Alice also on the bill.
Other notable acts include huge names such as Scissor Sisters, Gabrielle, The Libertines, The Vaccines, and Groove Armada.
The news comes shortly after Biffy Clyro bass player James Johnston announced he would not join the band on their upcoming tour due to mental health issues.
Set to take place between July 30 and August 2, approximately 40,000 music lovers expected to attend, and fans have been sharing their thoughts on next year’s lineup.
“Biffy Clyro would be my main band on there, although with that said, I only really know like Witch Fever out of all of the other bands,” one wrote on Reddit. “They always seem out of place wherever they play, but that’s part of their charm in my opinion.”
Another said, “Hopefully this ends the debate of Biffy coming back to Download. The best thing on here is Wolf Alice.”
A third added: “Decent lineup for Kendal Calling next year!!”
