Kendal Calling: Thursday and Friday Overview

It was Thursday morning while on our way to Kendal Calling 2026, we were met with slow traffic, a super busy load in, and the blistering sun.

Their set was full of indie classics including; ‘Sofa Song’, ‘Ooh La’ and ‘Naive’, that had the crowd bouncing and singing their hearts out.
