Boardmasters has announced its first acts for 2024 - including two headliners.

Stormzy and Chase & Status will top the bill on two nights next August, supported by a raft of other musicians.

Cornwall's biggest festival happens every year, on the cliffs above Watergate Bay near Newquay. Thousands flock there, not only for the music but also the excellent surf nearby.

It's the fifth largest festival in the UK and will take place between 7 and 11 August next summer.

The event has become so popular in recent years that the organisers have applied to increase its capacity from 53,000 to 65,000 within two years.

More than 30 names on the line-up were announced yesterday, Wednesday 29 November, but there are "tons more still to come", Boardmasters said.

The festival sold out in 2023, with Lorde, Liam Gallagher and Florence + The Machine headlining. A record number of fans have already signed up for presale tickets this year.

The acts

Stormzy - A multi-award-winning musician from South London, with three albums to date - Gang Signs & Prayer, Heavy Is The Head and This Is What I Mean. All shot to number 1 in the UK album chart, with the former two subsequently being nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.

Chase & Status - The trailblazing drum’n’bass duo will be bringing their full live band and special guests to the main stage at Watergate Bay.

Becky Hill - The BRIT Award-winning chart-topper will no doubt have everyone on their feet as she performs anthems including Crazy What Love Can Do, Remember, Lose Control and latest track Disconnect with Chase & Status.

Bicep - Present Chroma, their audio/visual DJ set at Boardmasters 2024. Expect nothing short of a jaw-dropping set from Bicep, the pair behind Glue, Apricots and Aura, who’ve been shaping the electro landscape since they first emerged on the scene.
