Boardmasters Festival 2026 has unveiled its final headliner, confirming Lily Allen will top the bill on Saturday night at Watergate Bay in Newquay from 5th - 9th August, 2026, completing one of the UK’s most stacked coastal line-ups. The announcement cements the pop icon’s return to major festival stages, with Allen set to deliver a special performance including West End Girl, adding a bold new flavour to the Cornish weekend.

The Saturday headline slot sees Lily Allen join previously announced heavyweights Fatboy Slim and Kasabian at the top of the bill, alongside The Kooks, Loyle Carner, REN and Tash Sultana, who is locked in for an England festival exclusive. With Pendulum Live, Rudimental, Dizzee Rascal and Goldie Live also on the lineup, Boardmasters 2026 continues to blur the lines between electronic, indie, hip hop and pop.

The latest announcement also brings more than 60 new artists into the fold, including Joy Crookes, Jacob Alon, Keo, Hot 8 Brass Band, Lucy Spraggan and Rose Gray, alongside an expansive undercard spanning UK club culture, live bands and emerging talent.

With final tier camping tickets now on sale and moving fast, Boardmasters Festival 2026 is shaping up as a must-do European festival moment, combining world-class music, surf culture and one of the most iconic beachside settings on the global circuit.
