The 'outer space' themed Kendal Calling has announced they will host a new Luna 9 Arena, a 360° hemispherical dome, housing the latest audio visual technology in a dome which acts as a projection screen in creating extra-ordinary multi-dimensional illusions..

Luna 9 will be host to an array of events including a daytime programme hosted by Dome Club and Full Dome UK of short planetarium films, chillout and ambient sounds and playbacks (including an immersive presentation of Pink Floyd’s album 'Dark Side of the Moon') and a guided tour of the universe.

In addition to the daytime programme, DJ Food has specially designed a full dome show of his new album ‘Search Engine’, along with special AV sets from DJ Cheeba and illustrator Pete Fowler's 'Seahawks'.

Saturday is a Supercluster Space Rave with acid house and techno DJs. Finally Sunday evening Via Domus (a Latin reference meaning ‘the way home’) delivers house beats for the journey back to earth. Each night will be combined with 360° visuals created by Recursive Function Immersive Domes (RFID).
