Boardmasters 2026: Dates Revealed as Festival Enters a New Era

Two sites, twelve stages and one unforgettable coastline.

Boardmasters has unveiled a new brand identity and tagline for 2026: Escape to the Edge of the World.

The festival, known as the UK’s biggest surf event, will return to Newquay next summer, bringing together global stars, local talent and Cornwall’s famous coastal energy.

Surf, Music and Wellness

From dawn surf sessions with the pros to world-class performances on the cliffs, Boardmasters continues to celebrate surfing as both a sport and a way of life.

Next year’s event will see an expanded focus on wellness and relaxation, offering cliff-top yoga, cold-water dips, spa treatments, hot tubs and saunas. The aim is to create space for festivalgoers to reset, restore and reconnect.

Boardmasters also continues its commitment to sustainability, maintaining its mission to go single-use plastic free while celebrating and protecting Cornwall’s coast and community.

Award Nomination

The festival has also been nominated for Best Large Festival at the UK Festival Awards 2025, with winners to be announced this December.
