Boardmasters Festival

Boardmasters Festival is an annual event held in Cornwall, United Kingdom, usually held over five days on the second weekend of August. The event is a combination of live music and surfing/skateboarding competitions in and around the town of Newquay. The festival was founded in 1981 through the surfing competition,[1] although in 2005 the music side of the festival was created, taking place at Watergate Bay. The current capacity is 53,000.[2][3]

Cancellations

Due to ex-hurricane Bertha causing chaos across Britain, the organisers of the festival were forced to cancel the final day of Boardmasters 2014 at the Watergate Bay site. Artists due to perform were Bastille, George Ezra, Reel Big Fish, DJ EZ, 2manydjs and Catfish and the Bottlemen.[10]

However, the surf competition at Fistral Beach continued as normal and full refunds for the cancelled day were received by customers.

The 2019 event was also cancelled hours before it was due to take place after serious concerns of bad weather forecast to disrupt.[11]

Boardmasters was then cancelled for a second year in a row in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Award Nominations

Boardmasters was nominated for ‘Best Medium Sized Festival’ at the 2014 UK Festival Awards, alongside Secret Garden Party, Camp Bestival, and winners We Are FSTVL.[12]

gollark: Hmm, no, RocketRace thought of that.
gollark: Wait, I should make a language with a name which makes it break the language.
gollark: Also, it's easier to autogenerate.
gollark: But you don't have to program that bit.
gollark: Yes.
