Music Photography: Kendal Calling 2015

We headed back up the M6 to Cumbria for our third time photographing the Kendal Calling Festival, celebrating it’s 10th year. While Simon largely concentrated on the Main Stage, Tina had a roaming brief that encompassed the Woodlands Stage, The Calling Out Stage as well as the smaller stages dotted about the site.

This year’s festival saw the Main Stage headlined by Kaiser Chiefs, Elbow and The Vaccines. Headliners across the other stages included Mark Lanegan Band, British Sea Power, Public Service Broadcasting, Gaz Coombes and To Kill A King.

All in all we had a very busy weekend of photography. Between us we covered all the following bands:
