This year's headliners include the Courteeners, Fat Boy Slim, The Prodigy and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. One mother who has attended the event six times, said: "It's really family-oriented. We're looking forward to Fat Boy Slim and The Royston Club because we're from Wrexham." Speaking about an exciting few days ahead, a young man said: "It's my first time in Kendal. It's all about meeting people and having a laugh." Two girls who have come back for a second time, said: "We're looking forward to seeing the Courteeners. We came last year and we loved it, we wanted to come back. It's not as chaotic as the others." With the festival marking its 20th year, the Co-founders of Kendal Calling, Andy Smith and Ben Robinson, say it 'feels like a daydream'. He added: "We are so fortunate in so many ways, whether it's growing up in such a beautiful part of the world or being able to have a career in an industry that we love so much, and that we're so passionate about. We've been very fortunate, and not a day goes by that you don't look back at it and smile." The police are urging those attending the festival not to take a chance on bringing drugs to the event. Chief Superintendent Matt Kennerley, from Cumbria Police, is encouraging people to use the amnesty bins available. He said: "If you get caught taking drugs into the festival, you are liable to arrest and are very likely to spend the weekend with the police. "We'll have police in and around the footprint of the event, supporting the event organisers and security. There will be a number of searches being conducted... We'll be there if the security team need us to step in."
