The festival takes place over three different sites including Pwllheli Marina and Abersoch Beach. Each site this year will host events like traditional beach games and sports including beach volley ball and there will be “have a go” sports both on the beach and out on the water including wakeboarding, paddle boarding and more.

Event director Stuart Galbraith said, ’Wakestock is 14 years old this year and we’re super proud of its history and the various line-ups we have brought to North Wales. We’ve been busy thinking of ways to evolve the festival this year and so alongside our usual star names from the world of music and fantastic sporting action we have also decided we want to widen our reach and encourage the whole of the Llyn Peninsula to take ownership of the event and get involved.

"Our first step is the addition of Gwl y Mor to the top line festival name as a celebration of our unique geography on one of Wales’s most beautiful coastlines. We’ve got fresh new artwork and we have lots of exciting plans in the pipeline so keep checking our website and social media for news and more. On a wider note Wakestock Gwl y Mor is not just the Llyn Peninsula’s festival but a festival for the whole of North Wales to enjoy. We can’t wait for the summer already."
