Festival Feedback: Boardmasters Festival 2024
The Boardmasters Festival 2024, which took place from August 7th to 11th at Fistral Beach and Watergate Bay in Newquay, Cornwall, was an epic celebration of music, surf, and beach culture. This year's edition brought together a vibrant mix of music, surfing competitions, and a variety of other activities, making it a standout event on the UK festival calendar.
Headlining the festival were some of the biggest names in music, with performances from Chase & Status, Sam Fender, and Stormzy. These headliners brought incredible energy to the main stage, with Sam Fender delivering an emotional set on Saturday night, while Stormzy closed the festival with a powerful and dynamic performance on Sunday. Other notable acts included the Courteeners, who brought their indie rock vibes, Tom Odell with his soulful ballads, and the electronic duo Leftfield, who kept the crowd dancing with their iconic beats.
Beyond the music, the festival also offered an array of experiences that truly set it apart. Attendees could immerse themselves in the beach lifestyle, whether that meant catching the surf competitions at Fistral Beach, enjoying yoga and wellness workshops at Zennor Haven, or exploring the local culture and food in Newquay town. The festival's emphasis on sustainability was evident with initiatives like beach cleans, ensuring that the beautiful Cornish coastline was left as pristine as found.
This year’s Boardmasters was not just about the music; it was about the entire experience – from the scenic coastal views and the thrill of surfing to the late-night parties that carried on into the early hours. It was a festival that captured the spirit of summer, leaving attendees with memories that will last a lifetime.
For those who missed it or want to relive the moments, you can look forward to next year's edition, as Boardmasters continues to be a must-attend event for music lovers and surfers alike (Radio X) (Boardmasters) (Europebookings).
