Lily Allen has been officially announced as the final headliner for the 2026 Boardmasters Festival. This much-anticipated event will take place from August 5 to August 9 in Newquay, Cornwall. Allen will join other acclaimed artists, including Fatboy Slim and Kasabian, to entertain festival-goers.
Historic Performance and Background
This will be Allen’s debut at the Boardmasters Festival. Although she was set to perform in 2019, that event was canceled just hours before it was scheduled due to severe weather concerns. The 40-year-old artist has been preparing for her return to live performances after a seven-year hiatus.
Recent Acclaim and Upcoming Performances
Last October, Allen released her fifth album, “West End Girl,” which received significant praise from both fans and music critics. Prior to her Boardmasters appearance, she will tour various locations across the U.K., Ireland, Europe, and North America throughout the spring and summer. Additionally, she is confirmed to perform at the Mighty Hoopla festival on May 30.
