Cornwall’s biggest festival and one of the UK’s most spectacular. Boardmasters combines five days of world-class surfing competition at Fistral Beach with a massive clifftop music festival at Watergate Bay — the views alone are worth the ticket.
The 2026 headliners are Fatboy Slim, Lily Allen, and Kasabian, supported by The Kooks, Loyle Carner, Tash Sultana, Rudimental, Pendulum, James Arthur, The Darkness, and Dizzee Rascal across multiple stages. By day, watch pro surfers compete in the waves below; by night, lose yourself in the music above.
Beyond the headline acts, there’s skate competitions, BMX, art installations, comedy, wellness areas, and some of the best festival food in the country. Camping on the clifftop with Atlantic sunsets is hard to beat.
