Plus Annie Mac, Craig David, Bicep and lots more...

The Chemical Brothers will headline Boardmasters festival in Cornwall next year. 

Set to kick off from Wednesday 8th through Sunday 12th August 2018, The Chems will also be joined Annie Mac and Craig David at the annual seaside fest, plus music from Fat Freddy's Drop and Irish duo Bicep. 

“We are delighted to announce The Chemical Brothers as our first headline act for Boardmasters 2018," said Andrew Topham, Boardmasters Festival Director.

"Following another sell-out year which saw the biggest Boardmasters ever this summer, we are excited to bring more of the most exciting names in music to Cornwall next August." 

Elsewhere on the new line-up The Horrors and Sam Fender have been added, plus interactive events like a stand-up comedy hour and language workshops teaching ravers the local Cornish dialect. 

Earlier this year, Boardmasters welcomed 50,000 festival-goers to enjoy world-class music from headliners Two Door Cinema Club, Jamiroquai and Alt-J, alongside a five-day surf competition that happens in tandem with the festival. 

Boardmasters 2018 runs Wednesday 8th until Sunday 12th August 2018 at Fistral Beach / Watergate Bay, Cornwall.

Tickets are on sale now via the Boardmasters website.
