Lightspeed Champion, The Gossip, Alphabeat, Black Lips and The Go! Team are among the acts performing at this year's Surfstock festival at St Agnes, Cornwall.
The two-dayer, held August 29-30, will see some 5,000 attendees assemble for bands and - as the name might just suggest - surfing. Major surfing, of a competitive nature. Yep.
In its fifth year, the festival's move to a bigger site this summer is a sign that it's on the up. Nice.
Also on the bill: Chromeo, Robots In Disguise, Jamie Woon, The Clik Clik, Emmy the Great and John Otway. Get updates and ticket information from the festival's official website.

CSS
got a day off?
Not really into many of the bands playing
but as it's only 10 minutes away, it seems churlish to not go.
Does anyone actually like him?
He is really dull
Haha, St Agnes!
Be prepared for slashed tires and 'Locals Only' wax jobs across your windscreen then.
