I went in 2015 and did love it, the weather helped. For me though, there just wasn't enough music that I was into and with it being a smaller festival there's not a great deal to do other than watch the music. However, that was just a personal thing with my music taste. I spent far too much money at the cocktail bar in the VIP area. It was fun to play Jenga with Sunset Sons though!

Yeah I see what you mean. Boardmasters 2015 was great, but it's a shame that there are artists that lack real calibre in helping the festival sell their tickets. Then again, it was nice to watch some bands that I had never heard of before, Sunset Sons being one of them, and it has definitely broadened my music taste.

It's definitely a festival I'd like to go back to, but would need to have a line-up more fitting to my tastes to make it worth my while. Glasgow to Newquay is a hell of a trek! No direct flights (at least there wasn't in 2015) so it's not the easiest! The main thing I took from it Boardmasters '15 is that Bastille are ready to headline larger festivals. I was very impressed by the way they command the stage.

Bastille were brilliant, one of the best bands I have ever seen. Glasgow to Newquay? Damn ahaha, thought I was bad being 4 hours away :P

Well hopefully the first lineup should be coming within the next week or 2.

Yeah, a train journey to Milton Keynes, over night stop there, then drive from Milton Keynes to Newquay. On the way back it was a flight from Newquay to Birmingham then another from Birmingham to Glasgow. Was only really possible cause we did Tangerine Fields, so we didn't have tents etc.

I'm on the big save this year so Glastonbury will be my only festival...unless we hear anymore about this Glasgow Green even that's apprently being lined up. Perhaps next year though!

A friend and I are planning to go there this year. I have only been to huge festivals so far so this will be new. Which kind of tickets would your guys suggest we get? And do you think it's better to arrive by car or coach for this one?

Depends on where you're coming from really. Being from Bournemouth, I've used the coach every time I've been and it's nice getting there but sometimes the journey back is quite long and tiring, but my friends who drove there and back said the car option is easier.

If you like the sun and the beach events that'll go on, surfing, bmx, etc. I'd recommend the long weekend ticket, can also find a camping spot a lot easier. If you're not too fussed regarding that then just get the standard weekend ticket.

I'm really up for two door cinema club

 

I reckon they'd be a sub headliner... BM seem to have taken an EDM headliner approach the past couple of years (deadmau5, chase and status, rudimental, faithless etc.) 

Theyd play along the lines of Catfish, Kaiser Cheifs who were subs last year.

Here we go guys. First wave of acts next week!

Who do you reckon will be announced! 

Some possibilities could include Clean Bandit, Two Door Cinema Club, MØ, and possibly The XX, I reckon Boardmasters are capable of pulling that off.

Tartan_Glasto - there are direct flights from Glasgow and Edinburgh in the summer, now daily I believe although it used to be a few times a week. Flybe does the the route.  There are a host of summer flights added to the timetables each year.

It will be interesting to see who is announced, especially as Eden are yet to release their other sessions, and Tunes in the Dunes are also still to release names. Different style of events of course, but interesting none the less. 

I know Frank Turner is playing here in the summer and so it will probably be one of the three. The XX could be a good shout, I mean they liked Cornwall enough to shoot a video here :)

I guess as I live nearby I have never done the weekend camping thing. Luckily I can pick and choose when I go. In comparison to other festivals it isn't as varied in terms of other stages and enjoyment can be very weather dependent!

Ah ok, must be a recent thing cause although it was Flybe we used, they had no direct flights in Summer 2015. 

As far as what type of ticket to get, I'd recommend the VIP option as unlike other festivals, it's not an obscene amount above the standard ticket price. Queue jump, seperate camping area (with additional toilets and showers if you wish to use them), and the seperate VIP area in the arena.

My ticket has now been bought. Still got dance tent acts to come, lord of the saints etc. Action packed festival ahead, possibly the best headliners they've had yet in my opinion. Thankfully they've drifted away from the electrionic headliners (even though I did love deamau5), hopefully not too many kids on drugs this time round lol.

Bound to see Sunset Sons again at Boardmasters in my opinion. Maybe Craig David due to him unfortunately not being able to turn up last year?

Your thoughts guys?

A festival I hadn't seriously considered before but not this definitely has my attention. A great set of headliners / subs makes for a very strong festival. Hopefully the under card can follow with some other big acts rather than blowing their budget on the top 2 acts each day.

Usually the undercard acts are great.

In previous years they've had Wilkinson, Sigma, Craig David, Example, The Darkness, Wolf Alice... the list goes in.

It's a great festival for atmosphere, and the best thing about it, it's a lot more chilled out than the big festivals (R&L, Download, etc)

Definitely the best festival I've been too overall.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
