Boardmasters confirm Kasabian and Fatboy Slim as 2026 headliners

Beachside knees-up and surf haven Boardmasters has announced its first wave (geddit?) of artists set to play in Newquay next year, including 2026 headliners Kasabian and Fatboy Slim. 

Also joining the fun will be indie stalwarts The Kooks, UK rap luminary Loyle Carner, breakout newcomers Alessi Rose and Florence Road, and punk party-starters Lambrini Girls, while a trio of special guest afternoon headliners - Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah, and Example - will guarantee that any itch for nostalgic bangers is well and truly scratched. 

Beyond the music, Boardmasters will once again play host to surf competitions, surf lessons, yoga, run clubs, massage workshops and more, while the stunning Cornish coast provides ample opportunity for adventures beyond the festival site. 

Boardmasters 2026 will take place from 5th-9th August at Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall. More artists are set to be announced in due course, but in the meantime you can check out the 2026 lineup so far below.
