Boardmasters, the UK’s flagship surf and music festival, announces the launch of its 2026 Day Ticket pre-sale and General Onsale.
These tickets offer fans the option of attending individual days to experience the festival’s signature blend of live music, surf culture and coastal wellbeing.
Pre-sale Day Tickets go on sale this week, Thursday 26th February at 10am. Sign up is still available for exclusive 24-hour early access to the lowest price tier. Any remaining tickets will then move to General Onsale on Friday 27th February at 10am.
With Glastonbury taking a fallow year in 2026, Boardmasters steps forward as one of the South West’s most anticipated moments of the summer. Perfectly tailored for local audiences across Cornwall and the South West, Day Tickets provide entry to the Main Arena across Friday, Saturday or Sunday, opening the door to a full programme of live music, curated experiences and coastal culture without the need to camp.
Sustainable travel remains a key focus for 2026, with Big Green Coaches operating official carbon-neutral Day Return services from 13 South West locations. New for 2026, Bristol joins the network, making it easier than ever for regional audiences to attend without the need for overnight stays. Day Ticket holders can also access dedicated parking from £25 or travel via Newquay train station with shuttle connections to the site.
Across the weekend, attendees on the dramatic Cornish coastline can experience headline performances from Fatboy Slim, Kasabian and Lily Allen along with top tier performances from The Kooks, Loyle Carner, Rudim3ntal, REN, Joy Crookes, BRITs Critics’ Choice winner Jacob Alon, Rose Gray, Tash Sultana, Dizzee Rascal, Lambrini Girls, Window Kid, Example, Tinie Tempah, Hamdi, Ewan McVicar, Dimension, 4AM Kru, Goldie LIVE, Holysseus Fly, and more. Grassroots local talent will also remain firmly embedded in the programme, further cementing Boardmasters’ commitment to championing South West creativity.
Beyond the Main Stage, the Day Ticket experience extends far beyond the music with multiple curated spaces featuring wellness workshops, comedy, and brand activations, all set high above the Atlantic with Boardmasters’ iconic clifftop views. Attendees can even dive into the World Surf League and Junior surf competitions on Fistral Beach, catch live action at the skate ramp seconds from the shoreline or discover conversations and culture at the popular Boardmasters Talks stage. The elevated Cliff Top will house street food spotlighting independent South West traders alongside craft bars and alcohol-free options, family programming and hands on art and creative sessions.
VIP Day Ticket holders can elevate their visit with dedicated VIP fast-track entry lanes and exclusive access to the Hospitality Lounge with prime positioning by the Main Stage. Housing premium toilet facilities, complimentary wifi, private DJs and street food, it’s the perfect spot to reset and recharge in between sets.
Boardmasters offers flexible Day Ticket options to make it easy for fans to join the festival experience. Adult Day Tickets start from £93, VIP from £120, with Teen and Child options also available. With music, surf and wellness set against the Cornish coast, Boardmasters is set to be a defining moment of the UK summer festival season.
