Organisers of the Boardmasters festival have revealed the headline acts that will grace the main stage in 2025.
Held each year at the start of August in Newquay, the popular music, surfing, and skate festival welcomes some 53,000 revellers to the five-day summer event.
While there’s still a lot of time before next year’s summer festival season kicks off, organisers of the country’s biggest music events are already securing their top acts.
For 2025, organisers pledged to increase security across the festival and raise the number of visitor searches and security patrols after seven people were hospitalised in 2024 after a crowd surge pushed people against the rails.
A number of well-known artists and bands, including The Prodigy, Kaiser Chiefs, and Raye, will be heading to Newquay next August.
With more acts and performers expected to be revealed as we head into the new year, here’s all the information you need to know about Boardmasters 2025.
