Boardmasters Announces First Wave of 2026 Artists Featuring Fatboy Slim, Hannah Wants, Pendulum, Rudimental, Goldie and Ewan McVicar

Tinie Tempah, K Motionz, Dizzee Rascal, La La, General Levy and Example also join the bill.

Boardmasters has revealed the first wave of artists for its 2026 edition, returning to Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall from 5 to 9 August. The initial announcement showcases a broad mix of electronic, dance and crossover acts, led by headline names such as Fatboy Slim, Pendulum [Live], Rudimental and Dimension, alongside a strong selection of indie and live performers.

Fatboy Slim tops the electronic contingent, continuing his long-standing run as one of the UK’s most iconic dance figures. Pendulum will bring back their full live show, and Rudimental are set to deliver their signature blend of drum and bass, soul and live instrumentation.

The electronic lineup expands with house, garage, tech and bass artists including Hannah Wants, Ewan McVicar, K Motionz & IC3, Sota, Bushbaby and Ibiza Final Boss. They are joined by DJs and MCs such as General Levy, Window Kid, Saint Ludo, La La, DJ AG, 4am Kru and Cirque Du Soul DJs.

Hybrid live acts and genre-blurring performers also feature prominently. Goldie (Live) offers a rare appearance from one of drum and bass’s founding pioneers. Example, Tinie Tempah and Dizzee Rascal join as afternoon special guest headliners with sets drawing from grime, bass and crossover sounds. Australian multi-instrumentalist Tash Sultana will play their only English festival date of the year, adding a mix of electronic, psych-rock and soul. Additional names include Ren, Brooke Combe, Lambrini Girls, Florence Road and others.

General on-sale begins on Friday 28 November at 10:00.
