MAIN ARENA
The Big One. The stage that makes musicians into icons, and icons into legends. If only floorboards could talk…
Built on the ethos of seaside community spirit, The Bandstand hosts a wealth of dazzling local talent, from The Steelers to the euphoric Cornish Rock Choir. Grab your friends and revel in a sunset singalong or an energetic live performance, all whilst mingling with friendly new faces. The place to be for the “you just had to be there” moments. Kickstart the best weekend of your life with The Bandstand’s Opening Ceremony on Wednesday 7th August…
LAND OF SAINTS
Whatever your style, if it’s got an independent spirit and kicks hard you’ll find it at the Land of Saints stage. The stage plays host to left field legends of the scene, from cutting edge electronic pioneers Jamie XX, Four Tet & Overmono to uncompromising guitar acts Royal Blood, Idles & Yard Act. Over the years, the stage has welcomed legends of lyrical prowess Cypress Hill, De La Soul & Kano and BRIT & Nominees Jockstrap, ShyGirl & Griff.
Welcome to the family-run Keg & Pasty, a 17th century pub positioned atop cliffs overlooking the breathtaking Watergate Bay. Watch seabirds and fishing boats while sipping a frothy ale in the pub garden, or prop up at the bar listening to the rich history of smugglers, wreckers, undiscovered treasure and even (according to folklore) the odd friendly spirit. Hosted by the pub’s diva landlord, discover an array of cabaret, comedy and dad-bod boogies. From the iconic cover band festival, Keg & Pastonbury, to our headline DJs & Cornish Instagram institution Jam & Meme, immerse yourself in the weird and wonderful. All with a golden hand-crafted pasty in hand. Bleddy ‘ansum.
A private haven for luxe lovers everywhere, where a paradise of tranquillity awaits. Enjoy an exclusive selection of local collectives and DJs whilst tucking into the highest quality cuisines on offer.
PARADISE LOST
It’s time to get loose to the biggest tunes of the summer. This is where club-land and major arena acts colide for the biggest indoor rave in the South West. Two-step the night away to high octane dance and big bassline beats, with the likes of Girls Don’t Sync, Hannah Laing and Hedex & Eksman. Prepare for the energy to be unleashed…
The Point is the place to party with the most cutting-edge DJ’s and producers out there! This open air party goes late into the night and the beats don’t stop coming. The Point returns bigger and better than ever, pushing the boundaries with a transformative experience of euphoric, other worldly wonder. As the sunset cascades over Watergate Bay, a jaw-dropping backdrop for a surreal and magical experience on the cliffside takes hold. Come and experience this mind-blowing visual sensation with Sammy Virji, Eliza Rose & Ewan McVicar.
NORTH SHORE
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, The View is the heart and soul of Boardmasters with the best festival view in the UK. With surf culture at its core, the stage originated as a small airstream caravan, hosting the likes of Sam Fender, George Ezra & Maisie Peters at the start of their careers. The stage is returning bigger and better in 2024, spotlighting the newest & most exciting artists in an unparalleled setting.
Taking you back to where it all started in 1981…the year of the first ever Boardmasters Surf competition. Ride the wave of nostalgia with our stylish 80’s twist on a surf shack, offering charming sunsets by day and unapologetically cheesy singalongs by night.
THE DOCKYARD
Situated in The Dockyard, DB90 is the meeting spot in the tough end of town. A hangout for hardy labourers and longshoremen, where smugglers and scoundrels meet. From the captain’s bridge of a cargo ship laying derelict in the Dockyard, a crew of crooked dock workers amongst the likes of Friction, Mozey and A.M.C & Phantom, and a whole host more, present a D&B showdown not to be missed. Will you join the late-night mischief…?
Nestled within the shadowy recesses of The Dockyard, you’ll find a vibrant glow of neon lights leading to the feel-good sound of the 80’s. Playing host to captains of Atlantic voyages and international travellers on an overnight layover, dance the night away to a decade of classics.
They’re a beacon on the beach, you’ve seen them in the movies & now new to Boardmasters for 2024 – our very own Lifeguard Tower. In the Dockyard you’ll find DJ’s bringing that energy to your day, with this year’s debut hosted by Graffiators. 18 professional artists will compete in graffiti battles across the weekend, transforming the area into a vibrant canvas. Spray cans at the ready…get ready for a whole pallet of unpredictable fun!
Located in Dockyard, Boardmasters is introducing its brand new Sports Bar. Come and immerse yourself in a world of adrenaline-pumping arcade games and jaw-dropping sports screenings. Get your game face on for a weekend of jam-packed action!
