Boardmasters 2026 Day Tickets Go On Sale This Week

Boardmasters has confirmed that Day Tickets for its 2026 festival will go on sale this week, giving fans the chance to attend individual days of the event on Cornwall’s north coast.

The UK’s flagship surf and music festival will release Day Ticket pre-sale passes on Thursday 26th February at 10am, with General Onsale following on Friday 27th February at 10am.

Fans can still sign up for 24-hour early access to the lowest price tier via the official website at boardmasters.com.

Pre-sale and General Onsale Dates

Pre-sale Day Tickets go live at 10am on Thursday 26th February. Any remaining tickets will then move to General Onsale at 10am on Friday 27th February.

With Glastonbury taking a fallow year in 2026, Boardmasters is positioning itself as one of the South West’s key summer events. Day Tickets are designed for those who want to experience the festival across Friday, Saturday or Sunday without camping, offering entry to the Main Arena and access to the wider programme.

Headline Acts and Full Weekend Line-up

Across the weekend, festivalgoers can see headline performances from Fatboy Slim, Lily Allen and Kasabian, alongside sets from The Kooks, Loyle Carner, Rudim3ntal, REN, Joy Crookes, Jacob Alon, Rose Gray, Tash Sultana, Dizzee Rascal, Lambrini Girls, Window Kid, Example, Tinie Tempah, Hamdi, Ewan McVicar, Dimension, 4AM Kru, Goldie LIVE and Holysseus Fly.

Grassroots local talent will also feature throughout the programme, reinforcing the festival’s support for South West creativity.

More Than Just Music

Day Ticket holders will have access to more than the Main Stage. The festival site above Fistral Beach will host wellness workshops, comedy, brand activations and the Boardmasters Talks stage.

On the beach itself, attendees can watch World Surf League and Junior surf competitions, as well as live action at the skate ramp near the shoreline.

The Cliff Top area will feature street food from independent South West traders, craft bars, alcohol-free options, family programming and hands-on art and creative sessions.

Travel and Sustainability

Sustainable travel remains a focus for 2026. Big Green Coaches will operate official carbon-neutral Day Return services from 13 South West locations, with Bristol newly added to the network.

Day Ticket holders can also book dedicated parking from £25 or travel by train to Newquay station, where shuttle connections to the festival site will be available.

Ticket Options and Prices

Adult Day Tickets start from £93, with VIP Day Tickets available from £120. Teen tickets for ages 13 to 15 start from £65, while Child tickets for ages 6 to 12 start from £25.

Flexible payment plans are available, allowing fans to spread the cost from £17.60 per month plus booking fees. Day Ticket and coach bundles are also available from £88.

VIP Day Ticket holders will benefit from dedicated fast-track entry lanes and access to the Hospitality Lounge near the Main Stage, which includes premium toilet facilities, complimentary WiFi, private DJs and street food.
