THE organisers of Beach Break Live have unveiled plans to evolve the antiquated UK festival model by creating the country's first music holiday ... in Newquay featuring headliner Jake Bugg.
After three years at Pembrey Country Park in South Wales, Beach Break Live will return to its spiritual home, Cornwall, to create the very first music holiday and change the face of festival experiences in the UK.
The organisers have assembled a great line-up of artists, including Jake Bugg, AlunaGeorge pictured, Devlin, Foreign Beggars, High Contrast, David Rodigan, Danny Byrd, Lucy Rose, Lulu James, Dub Pistols, Skream & Sgt Poles, Eats Everything, Jackmaster, DJ Format and Scratch Perverts. Eighteen-year-old chart sensation Bugg said: "I'm looking forward to playing the first ever main stage on Fistral Beach, it's a great location and a great festival."
From June 20 to 24 Beach Break Live will take over the streets, bars, clubs and beaches of Newquay to transform the entire town into the ultimate festival carnival mash-up.
With tickets starting at just £40, Beach Break Live promises to be the most exhilarating experience at the most affordable price available anywhere in the world.
Taking over Newquay to become the first UK music holiday, Beach Break Live has announced a plethora of entertainment including a main stage on Fistral Beach for the first time, secret sets in greasy spoons, feverish DJs in classic clubs, hidden rooftop raves, beach discos, boat parties and more.
Glamping, camping and caravans will all be available for those wanting to retain some of the elements of a traditional festival while Beach Breakers are encouraged to use local businesses, accommodation and facilities wherever possible during their stay in Newquay.
Revellers will be transported to a seaside heaven with pool parties, street art, circus, comedy, exclusive after parties, pasty parties, harbourside cinema, theatre, extreme sports, laser shows and much more.
Ian Forshew, Beach Break Live founder, said: "The festival world is changing; we need and want to bring our ticket holders more than just musicians on a stage. Imagine Rio carnival surfing the perfect turquoise wave of Cornwall."
Beach Break Live is set to bring significant income into Newquay and is working closely with the local council, Newquay BID and all Newquay businesses, clubs, pubs and community to ensure the event is beneficial to everyone involved.
