Boardmasters 2026 is where summer hits full volume.

August in Newquay means long days, salty air, and the coast doing what it does best. World-class surf rolls into Fistral, while the clifftops and sands of Watergate Bay transform into one of the UK’s most iconic open-air festivals.

This year, the soundtrack is massive. Fatboy Slim brings pure festival chaos with hands-in-the-air energy and timeless dance anthems. Lily Allen delivers sharp lyrics, sing-along moments, and undeniable attitude. Kasabian take things up a gear with raw riffs, big hooks, and crowd-shaking intensity.

But Boardmasters is more than a lineup. It’s sunrise swims, barefoot sunsets, surf breaks between sets, and that feeling you only get when music and the ocean collide. It’s laid-back days that roll straight into unforgettable nights.

Whether you’re chasing waves, dancing till dark, or soaking up the coastal atmosphere, Boardmasters 2026 is the place to be.

Pack light, bring your people, and let the coast take over.
