Boardmasters has announced Lily Allen as its final headliner for this summer’s event.
She joins previously announced headliners Fatboy Slim and Kasabian, along with The Kooks, Loyle Carner, Rudimental, REN and Tash Sultana on the line up.
The singer was revealed as the final headliner through a large piece of sand art created on the beach at Watergate Bay.
Lily Allen has recently been nominated for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Pop Act at this year’s BRIT Awards, adding to a total of 10 nominations over her career, including one win.
She will arrive at the festival following the release of her 2025 album West End Girl, which has also received a BRIT nomination. The album will be performed in full during her set at the surf and music festival, which takes place across Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach.
Organisers say registration for the surf competition is due to open soon with the Boardmasters Open at the heart of the sporting programme, hosting World Surf League Men’s and Women’s Pro competitions alongside the Junior Open.
Boardmasters takes place from 5 to 9 August.
