Call of the Wild Festival Celebrates 5th Anniversary with a Star-Studded, International Lineup
Call of the Wild Festival is back for its highly anticipated 5th anniversary, bringing an exciting global flair to Lincoln. This year, the festival is set to deliver an exceptional international lineup, with all three of the main stage headliners and two second-stage headliners flying in from overseas. A small outdoor festival with a massive impact, Call of the Wild offers festivalgoers unparalleled value for money and an unbeatable array of top-tier talent.
Organized by Upstaged Limited, the festival is thrilled to confirm that Sweden’s iconic Royal Republic will headline the Saturday night with their unique blend of disco-fueled rock anthems. Known for their electrifying live shows and infectious energy, Royal Republic promises to ignite the crowd into a frenzy of fist-pumping, hip-swaying, party vibes.
Joining Royal Republic on the Kilmister Stage (named in tribute to legendary Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister) are The Commoners from Canada and Finnish rock icon Michael Monroe. These powerhouse acts are sure to create an unforgettable weekend for rock and metal fans alike.
On the Southall Lawless Stage (named in memory of Nick “Ringo” Southall and Mikey Lawless, who both tragically lost their battles with cancer), headlining bands include the fast-rising Tailgunner, a British heavy metal band that has been turning heads with their electrifying sound and high-energy performances. Also joining the bill are Lucifer Star Machine from Germany and Trench Dogs, hailing from Sweden—two acts bringing their own brand of hard-hitting rock to the stage.
Call of the Wild Festival has firmly established itself as a must-attend event on the UK’s rock and metal calendar. With its diverse lineup of international talent and its commitment to offering fans an unforgettable experience, this year’s festival promises to be a truly epic celebration of live music.
