Kendal Calling are also unveiling a new Twin Peaks style 50's diner headed up by Tim Burgess from The Charlatans aptly titled the 'Tim Peaks Diner'. The venue was borne from twitter and on BBC6music, as Tim pours over the jukebox and coffee he will curate a weekend of DJs, bands, book readings and comedians in a unique setting.
