6 amazing festivals you didn’t know existed
Where: Cornwall
When: 5-9 August
Boardmasters requires no introduction. Since its humble beginnings as a small surf competition in 1981, Boardmasters has grown to accommodate huge international surf competitions. It’s not just about the water, though – campers can also watch BMX and skateboarding, as well as shopping the Fistral Surf Village and, of course, listening to the best of live music.
This year’s line-up is second to none, with Faithless, Rudimental, Bastille and Clean Bandit headlining, among many other established and up-and-coming artists guaranteed to rock the sound of your summer. Of course, being in Cornwall, there are also killer after-parties in the party town of Newquay, featuring major DJs. Give it a go – you won’t be disappointed.
