Cornwall's biggest festival has announced another wave of acts heading to the beach this summer - including UK rap star Central Cee. The Londoner will be playing his first UK headline set at Boardmasters to cap off his meteoric rise to fame.
The rapper, who recently released debut album Can't Rush Greatness, will join previously announced headliners Raye and and The Prodigy. Another 30 acts have also been added to the line-up, including The Wombats, Sub Focus, Flo, Leigh-Anne, Krepy & Konan, The Blessed Madonna and Maverick Sabre.
DJs and producers will be represented by Danny Howard, Conducta and Honeyluv, alongside a set from Zero B2B MPH. Shapes promises to bring a fresh take on house and techno, while drum and bass powerhouse 1991 will deliver high-energy beats. There'll also be sets from rising star Mia Kirkland, Charlie Tee, Differnt, Drop Squad and Dubtendo.
Other performers already announced for Boardmasters this year include Nelly Furtado, London Grammar, Maribou State, Kaiser Chiefs, Wet Leg, Rizzle Kicks, Natasha Bedingfield, Franz Ferdinand, Ocean Alley, Myles Smith, Salute and Hard Life.
Beyond the music, festivalgoers can sign up for water-based fun near the site including surf lessons, kayaking tours and bodyboard lessons, which can be booked on the Boardmasters website.
Campers can take some time-out and chill at "Zennor Haven", said to be the "perfect place to pause for a moment of mindfulness", with sound baths, wellness discussions and panel talks, massages and workshops.
Those looking for workouts and weights can make their way to Muscle Beach, Boardmasters' very own full outdoor gym with DJs, daily challenges and prizes to be won. In the main arena, festival goers can enjoy the Keg & Pasty, The Boulevard, daily beach cleans, street food, pub quizzes, surf screenings, bingo, karaoke, a silent disco. The Cornwall Rock Choir will also belt out singalong classics.
Organisers have pledged a raft of improvements this year including more security across the site, an increase in the number of Wi-Fi hot spot zones in the arenas and campsites and more entry search lanes to allow for more thorough searches without increasing wait times.
Boardmasters 2025 will take place from August 6 to 10 across two sites at Fistral Beach, Newquay, and Watergate Bay. Tickets are on sale now at www.boardmasters.com
