Boardmasters 2026 Adds Nia Archives and Drops Stage Splits Banner

Boardmasters has revealed its full 2026 stage splits, alongside a fresh wave of artist additions led by Nia Archives, ahead of its return to Newquay, Cornwall from 5th - 9th August, 2026. Set across Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach, the festival continues to blend music, surf and coastal culture, with final tier tickets on sale now.

The latest announcement sees Nia Archives join the Saturday lineup, where she will debut a brand new live show ahead of Lily Allen’s headline performance. Known for her “emotional junglism” sound, the UK artist is set to deliver one of the weekend’s most anticipated sets, marking a major moment in her rapidly rising career.

Elsewhere, new additions including Sasha Keable, Girls Don’t Sync, Cliffords and The Guest List further strengthen an already stacked bill. They join headliners Fatboy Slim, Lily Allen and Kasabian, alongside standout names such as Loyle Carner, Joy Crookes, The Kooks and Rudimental, showcasing the festival’s broad musical appeal.


With stage splits now confirmed, festivalgoers can begin planning their weekend across multiple arenas, from clifftop main stages to late-night spaces and beachside experiences. Combined with surf competitions, wellness sessions and creative programming, Boardmasters 2026 is shaping up to deliver another immersive summer escape on the Cornish coast.
