Lusty Glaze runs a series of outdoor concerts through summer in its private cove between Newquay town and Porth Beach. The format is sundowner sessions - music as the sun drops into the Atlantic, with a bar and food service on the beach.
The 2026 programme includes Pete Tong as the headline act on Saturday 22 August (3pm-11pm), alongside orchestral Ibiza classics evenings, a Mardi Gras carnival opening party, and DJ sets running through the summer months. Individual event dates are released through the year - check the website for the current schedule.
The setting is what makes these events special. Lusty Glaze is a secluded cove reached by a steep staircase cut into the cliff. The intimacy of the space - maybe a few hundred people between rock walls with the Atlantic in front - creates an atmosphere that arena concerts can’t match.
