It's not just about the music, however. Boardmasters 2020 will also host a surfing competition that forms part of the World Surf League Qualifying Series, bringing internationally-recognised surfers to Fistral Beach.

On top of this, Boardmasters will continue its mission to keep the festival and the Cornish coastline clean.

Beach cleans, re-useable cup schemes, and a litter bond, will all be in place aiming to make the festival environmentally-friendly.
