BOARDMASTERS REVEALS LILY ALLEN AS FINAL 2026 HEADLINER

Boardmasters reveals Lily Allen as the festival's final 2026 headliner, joining previously announced headliners Fatboy Slim and Kasabian, as well as The Kooks, Loyle Carner, Rudimental, REN and Tash Sultana. Just nominated for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Pop Act at this year's BRIT Awards, Lily Allen arrives fresh from the release of her critically acclaimed 2025 album 'West End Girl', which she will be performing in full live from the Cornish coast. The record marks a bold new chapter with sharp, reflective and unapologetically honest storytelling. This second wave announcement deepens the sound and reinforces the spirit of discovery at the heart of the festival, with additions including Joy Crookes, Jacob Alon, Lucy Spraggan, Rose Gray and Charlotte Plank, bringing everything from soul and indie to folk-pop and electronic.

Returning to its iconic home at Fistral Beach in Newquay, Boardmasters is more than just the music. The festival brings elite international and UK surfers to one of the planet's most legendary surf locations, with the Boardmasters Open hosting WSL Men's and Women's Pro competitions alongside the Junior Open set against the dramatic coastline. Beyond the competition, the festival expands into a full celebration of surf, wellness, sport and adventure, with surf lessons for all abilities, yoga and sound baths, dedicated wellness spa featuring saunas, hot tubs and ice baths, fitness sessions, run clubs, and immersive installations and creative workshops. Born from the surf and shaped by the land, Boardmasters is a festival that moves with the seasons and the stories shaping the UK's musical landscape.
