Bastille were announced in February to be headlining after replacing The Streets who were previously announced to perform.

A-list performers Stereophonics, Tom Grennan and Supergrass will also be there.

Festival co-founders Andy Smith and Ben Robinson said: "As Kendal Calling 2022 gets closer and closer, our excitement to get back to the fields continues to grow and grow - and we’re delighted to be bringing arguably our greatest lineup to date to mark our 15th Birthday, 17 years in the making.

"From world-renowned headliners and some of the most exciting new artists going right now, to indie royalty and festival favourites - there truly is something for everyone at Kendal Calling this year."

Kendal Calling was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 after concerns regarding the pandemic, with tickets being refunded or rolling over to the next year.
