Sam Fender has been announced as the final headliner for the surf and music festival, Boardmasters.

The 29-year-old will travel to Cornwall to join Chase & Status, and Stormzy at the top of the bill.

More than 50 other acts have also been announced including Becky Hill, Kate Nash, and Manchester-based band the Courteeners.

The festival will take place from 7-11 August at Watergate Bay and Fistral Beach in Newquay.

Fender made his Boardmasters debut in 2014 when he was 19 years old, playing on a stage called The View!.

In a post on social media, he said: "I played in a little trailer, tiny stage at the bottom. It was almost off the cliff edge.

"I played Boardmasters more than any other festival, and now I'm going to headline it."

Other artists include Tom Odell, Charlotte Plank and music duo Overmono.

Former CBBC presenters Dick and Dom are also set to perform their own drum and bass set.
