Surfstock

Surfstock Festival

When: August 29-30

Where: St. Agnes, Cornwall

What: A couple of festival organisers have hopped on the bandwagon this year and realised what a perfect couple surfing and live music make but Surfstock can proudly call itself one of the pioneers of the movement; celebrating its fifth birthday this summer. Just imagine...tents and campervans everywhere; an awesome line-up including the likes of Chromeo, Santogold, The Go! Team and Black Lips replacing your iPod; beautiful girls and surfers running on the beach; and you dancing, swimming and building castles out of sand. Sounds like a beautiful way to spend the last weekend of August! And if you're still wondering what sets this surf-based festival above the others, well who else has Howard Marks as a compere?!

Tickets: £79 for weekend camping tickets (on-site parking included). £40 for Saturday day and night camping tickets (does NOT include on-site parking. £200 for family weekend camping tickets which includes two adults and two children.
