You can be sure that there’ll be a big headline every night at Tunes in the Dunes 2025 if you have tickets and want to get hot and sweaty at this inimitable festival three-day live music festival on the sands of Perranporth Beach, Perranporth, on Cornwall’s north coast.

McFly headlined the Friday at Tunes in the Dunes 2024. Craig David Presents TS5 headlined Saturday with Ocean Colour Scene following on Sunday. How good were the Kaiser Chiefs at Tunes in the Dunes 2023? And Reef? And Ellie Sax? And the Good Old Fashioned Lover Boys? And oh every other act on the 2023 bill? Were you there? Are you going again in 2024?

The 2023 edition of this sandy festival was an utter barnstormer, following a 2022 fest that boasted the likes of Paul Weller, Shaggy and The Kooks. This festival has established itself as one of the biggest music festivals in Cornwall, in fact.

Who is playing Tunes in the Dunes 2025? Acts are yet to be confirmed but we’ll update here as soon as there’s news!

Expect plenty of DJs spinning their decks throughout the three-day beach fest alongside a silent disco and an array of other entertainment (‘from magic to gospel choirs’) put on every day in the festival arena.

There are also camping and campervan options nearby the arena and, basically, there’s just an incredible vibe because it’s all on soft golden sand, it’s all set against the backdrop of scenic cliffs and sand dunes, and it’s all next to the deep blue sea.

This unique festival has been running for 10 years. It was born from the live music events at The Watering Hole at Perranporth Beach, which is actually the UK’s only bar on a beach. It’s grown over the years to become the sort of monster that, well, pulls in the likes of the Kaiser Chiefs, McFly and Paul Weller.

Up to 5,000 people can fill the main arena, which is surrounded by bars and food vendors who tout cold brews, burgers, pizza and, of course, fresh fish. There’s also traditionally a VIP area with a cocktail bar. And expect an after-party at The Watering Hole that’s previously played host to the likes of The Wailers, Billy Ocean and George Ezra.

So, do you like the sand between your toes? Do you like cold beers and cocktails in the sun? Do you like the sea breeze? And do you like some of the best British musical acts over the past 40 years blasting their tunes to you live as you lap up a unique seaside atmosphere in great company? Sounds like you like your tunes in the dunes in 2025, then.
