BOARDMASTERS RETURNS FOR 2024 ANNOUNCING FIRST ACTS SET TO PLAY
CORNWALL'S best-known surf-and-music festival has announced the first wave of artists for next year's event.
Boardmasters is back next summer from 7-11 August 2024 and today, Cornwall’s own surf and music festival drops the first huge wave of artists, including not one but two headliners.
Stormzy and Chase & Status Live top the bill for next August, along with 30+ more artists and tons more still to come.
Stormzy is headlining Boardmasters 2024. Stormzy is the multi-award-winning musician from South London, whose three albums to date; ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’, ‘Heavy Is The Head’ and ‘This Is What I Mean’ all shot to #1 in the UK album chart, with the former two subsequently being nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize.
Stormzy is one of the UK’s most inspiring figureheads who has consistently stood up for people from all areas of life; encouraging his fans and listeners alike to speak openly about their beliefs and fight for their rights. With huge hits including The Weekend, Vossi Bop, Shut Up and more, it’s set to be a massive headline set when Stormzy takes on Boardmasters next summer.
Trailblazing drum ’n bass duo Chase & Status will be heading to Cornwall next summer to headline Boardmasters.
The duo will be bringing their full live band and special guests to the main stage at Watergate Bay. Chase & Status have been at the fore of dance music for two decades, breaking boundaries in the drum & bass scene, the pair are a force to be reckoned with.
With a catalogue of timeless classics and anthemic club bangers, they’ve just dropped 2 RUFF, Vol.1 this month. One of the most requested Boardmasters headliners ever, Chase & Status are ready to delight fans with an unmissable live set packed with their biggest hits, Blind Faith, End Credits, Mixed Emotions, Baddadan, and much more.
Plus, back by popular demand, Becky Hill returns to Boardmasters. 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.
Belfast-born electronic music duo Bicep present Chroma, their audio/visual DJ set at Boardmasters ‘24. 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.
As well as champion of the DIY spirit, producer, singer, songwriter and artist Nia Archives will serve up hip-hop, soul, jazz and jungle infused goodness at Watergate Bay, along with Another Love singer-songwriter Tom Odell who’s treating fans to a flurry of new music right now, as well as London’s genre-spanning singer Hell N Back hitmaker Bakar and two-man punk-rock outfit FKA Slaves, SOFT PLAY and on a mission to drop banger after banger on the coast, Katy B.
Meanwhile making their Boardmasters festival debut, Grammy-nominees The Teskey Brothers will serve up soulful blues goodness including fan-favorites Forever You and Me and So Caught Up.
