Boardmasters reveals Lily Allen as the festival's final 2026 headliner, joining previously announced headliners Fatboy Stem 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. Wave 2 additions deepen the sound and reinforce the spirit of discovery, featuring Joy Crookes bringing unmistakable soul and lyrical weight, Mercury Prize nominee Jacob Alon with confident and confessional style, Lucy Spraggan and Beans on Toast representing the best of UK folk-pop, plus electronic tastemakers Hamdi, Lens, Fleetmac Wood and Gotham B2B Deekz injecting late-night bass and club energy.
Returning to its iconic home at Fistral Beach, Boardmasters is a true escape to the edge of the world. Rooted in Cornwall, 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 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 creative workshops. Born from the surf and shaped by the land, Boardmasters is a festival that never stands still, blending high-energy headline moments with spaces for calm, reflection and connection by the sea.
