Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Ryan Adams And The Shining, The Hives, Echo And The Bunnymen, Modest Mouse, Wolf Alice + more.
Back for a second year on Clapham Common, Calling Festival still sounds a bit like a telesales conference but packs a punch with its rock-leaning line-up. This year’s guitar-slingers-in-chief are Noel Gallagher and his psychedelic gang the High Flying Birds, with support sets on Saturday by raw country-rock dude Ryan Adams, Swedish garage-punks The Hives, starry-eyed new wave veterans Echo And The Bunnymen, US indie band Modest Mouse and London’s young grunge crew Wolf Alice.
