Fatboy Slim, Kasabian and Loyle Carner Announced for Boardmasters Festival

Cornwall Festival Unleashes First Line-up Wave Featuring UK’s Best

Boardmasters has unleashed its first wave of artists for 2026, marking a major moment for the UK festival calendar as Cornwall’s premier beach festival returns this August. The initial announcement lands with serious star power, led by headliners Fatboy Slim and Kasabian, two of the biggest touring acts in the UK right now.

While the headliners will draw the crowds, the undercard is where this lineup truly shines. The Kooks bring their signature seaside indie; Loyle Carner adds his smooth, introspective rap; and Tash Sultana is set to deliver an exclusive UK festival performance, making their set a standout moment of the weekend.

Other names well worth catching include rising phenomenon Alessi Rose, alt-rock disruptors Getdown Services, and a guaranteed crowd-lifting afternoon set from Dizzee Rascal.

Boardmasters Festival takes place 5–9 August on the stunning coastline of Newquay, Cornwall, combining world-class live music with surfing, beach culture and sweeping clifftop views.
