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 shows to gospel choirs, all within the festival arena. Camping and campervan options are available nearby, allowing attendees to fully immerse themselves in the festival atmosphere. The venue is surrounded by scenic cliffs and sand dunes, offering breathtaking views of the deep blue sea.
Tunes in the Dunes has grown from its origins at The Watering Hole, the UK’s only bar on a beach, into one of Cornwall’s most beloved festivals. The main arena can accommodate up to 5,000 people and is surrounded by bars and food vendors serving cold brews, burgers, pizza, and fresh fish. A VIP area with a cocktail bar is also traditionally available, and after-parties at The Watering Hole have previously featured the likes of The Wailers, Billy Ocean, and George Ezra.
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. The 2024 lineup proved just as impressive, with McFly, Craig David Presents TS5, and Ocean Colour Scene stealing the show. Who is playing Tunes in the Dunes 2025? Acts have now been announced, and it’s safe to say the 10th edition will be one for the books.
