Following last year’s spellbinding festival, Kendal Calling are on the look out for talent to get involved in designing the 2012 event; bringing with them weird and wonderful performances, helping with site décor or creating art installations.
Tickets go on sale for the award winning Kendal Calling festival in February, along with the first line up announcement – exact dates of release to be revealed.
Last year saw a multitude of walkabout performers and artists roaming the fields from contortionists to comic fitness instructors, from jugglers to hula-hoopers. The Monsters Garden was a huge, central field of mutant, oversized, bright flora decorated artistically complete with giant hammocks and resting spots. The House party was a tent like no other; a living room inspired den complete with all the usual household amenities you might expect; washing machine, beds, piano, bookshelves... Plus a light-up dancefloor and DJ booth of course!
Around the site there were many other artist installations and fantastically decorated areas; none of which would be possible without the amazing people who bless Kendal Calling with their talents each year. Once more Kendal Calling are opening the doors for creative people to get involved so let’s get inspired!
To apply to be involved, get in touch with us at: http://www.kendalcalling.
Whether applicants work individually or as part of a group, Kendal Calling would love to hear from bright folk who make the event the inspiring hotbed that it is.
Bands are of course also welcome to get in touch through the contacts page to submit demos and be in with a chance of performing at this year’s festival. Kendal Calling stay true to their ethos of supporting new & emerging talent; providing a platform and a chance for regional artists to play alongside globally acclaimed acts each year performing to an audience of thousands.
Kendal Calling 2011 was another sold-out, successful year for Kendal Calling with a full to bursting, world-class line up that included Blondie, the Cribs & Chase and Status. This year will have the same high quality artists Kendal Calling fans know and love, with all to be revealed very soon…
