What the promoter says

Boardmasters Festival brings you the very best in music, surf and entertainment, all set to the backdrop of stunning Cornish coastline.

Boardmasters is situated across two iconic locations. Our festival site sits on the cliff top at Watergate Bay, home to arguably the world’s best festival view. We play host to no less than twelve curated stages, with a collection of acts ranging from local acoustic talent, to mind-bending visual performers, to international headliners. You can also find some peace and quiet in our wellbeing area, relax in the eco spa, dine in The Wild Oyster restaurant and enjoy one of our many fabulous food stalls. Whilst onsite, keep an eye out for our Boardmasters Green Team who will be on hand to offer tips on how to keep the stunning festival site green and clean.
In the town of Newquay, you will find the legendary surf mecca of Fistral Beach. Surfing, skating, BMX, live music, the Surf Village and much more can be found here at the home of UK surfing. The pro surf competitions have been at the heart of the festival for over two decades and we’re thrilled to host the international surf league events here.

See you at the beach.
