The Covid-19 pandemic forced Boardmasters to cancel their 2020 event, and in 2019, the festival suffered another setback. Severe weather conditions, including high winds, led to the cancellation of the festival over safety concerns that year, just hours before the festival was due to open its doors. Thousands of festival goers found out the news upon their arrival in Cornwall.

The festival’s triumphant return this year saw a line up that included the likes of Foals, Gorillaz, Jorja Smith, Lianne La Havas, Sam Fender, Loyle Carner and Dizzee Rascal.

Kings Of Leon have announced the dates for their ‘When You See Yourself’ UK tour in 2022. The tour is in support of their eighth studio album of the same name, and will take place across six dates, kicking off with the Birmingham Resorts World Arena on June 13 and ending at the Manchester AO Arena on July 5.

Meanwhile, George Ezra will head to Finsbury Park next summer, alongside Blossoms and Holly Humberstone. The show will take place on July 17.

Disclosure, comprised of brothers Howard and Guy Lawrence, will also go on tour in March next year, performing at venues across Europe, including France, Belgium, Russia, Estonia and Ukraine. 

The duo will also perform at three shows in London between March 2-5 at Heaven, O2 Academy Brixton and Alexandra Palace. Disclosure released their most recent album, ‘Energy’, on 28 August 2020.

Tickets for Boardmasters 2022 go on pre-sale today (October 28) and general sale tomorrow (October 29). Camping tickets start from £159.
