Bastille will headline the surf and music festival, Boardmasters 2015 which takes place from Wednesday 5th until Sunday 9th August next year at a cliff-top location overlooking Watergate Bay, and Fistral Beach in Cornwall near Newquay.

Bastille's front man, Dan Smith said this about the band's upcoming return to the festival, "We're all incredibly excited to be coming back to Boardmasters for, barring any more hurricanes, an amazing night in the West Country. Growing up in the South West, Boardmasters was a festival I always wanted to play so when it was cancelled last year I was devastated. Hopefully coming back this year will help make up for it and we'll be able to play some material from our new album as well. We can't wait to see you all in August."

They join fellow headliners Rudimental who are the only other act announced.

The festival offers five days of surf competition at Fistral Beach and a weekend of live music on the headland, Watergate Bay. Details of the International Surf Competition and the 2015 music line-up will be announced soon!

New for 2015, Boardmasters camping at Watergate Bay has been extended, opening a day early, from Wednesday 5 August. This means festivalgoers now won’t have to miss a single day of the event including the surf action at Fistral Beach during the days before the music site at Watergate Bay opens over the weekend.
