Organisers are now working on a 2021 event. Kendal Calling has cancelled its 2020 festival due to the coronavirus outbreak. Organisers of the Lake District festival described the decision as “heartbreaking” today (May 11).
The festival lined up Foals and Stereophonics to top the bill for what would have been its 15th anniversary – between July 30 and August 2.
However, organisers have released a statement this afternoon to confirm that this year’s event would no longer be taking place.
The statement read: “It was not an easy decision but it is the right decision. Your health and the health of those who work behind the scenes and on the stages is and will always be paramount.
