Lily Allen to Headline Boardmasters Festival 2026

Lily Allen is set to headline the 2026 Boardmasters Festival, scheduled from 5 to 9 August in Newquay, Cornwall. She will perform her 2025 album, 'West End Girl', which candidly explores the dissolution of her marriage to actor David Harbour.

Allen joins fellow headliners Fatboy Slim and Kasabian at the festival. Additional acts include Joy Crookes, Rose Gray, and BRITs Critics' Choice winner Jacob Alon.

The festival will maintain its capacity at 58,000 attendees, comprising 53,000 ticket holders and 5,000 staff and performers. This follows a decision to keep the existing numbers after a previous bid to increase capacity was rejected due to safety concerns.

Allen's 'West End Girl' album, released in October 2025, received critical acclaim and commercial success, peaking at number two on the UK Albums Chart. The album's lead single, 'Madeline', reached the top twenty on the UK Singles Chart.

In addition to Boardmasters, Allen is scheduled to headline the Mighty Hoopla festival in London's Brockwell Park on 30 May 2026. She will also embark on her 'Lily Allen Performs West End Girl' tour, beginning in March 2026, with dates across the UK and North America.
