RELENTLESS BOARDMASTERS, Watergate Bay, Cornwall, 10-14 Aug: Organisers have booked nu-ravers Klaxons to head up proceedings at this sun, sea and surf celebration, despite the band having just cancelled their US tour.

SUNSPLASH ANTALYA, Turkey, 22-29 May: Heading to what is billed as an ‘achingly chic’ beach location on Turkey’s Riviera will be a host of DJ-types led by Radio 1’s Giles Peterson, with jazzman Jose James, house bloke Norman Jay, Theo Parrish and Mad Professor also set to spin some tunes. With these sweaty, dancey vibes set amidst a venue that features a spa and yoga classes for that post-set chilldown, this may just be the festival season’s oddest and best kept secret. www.sunsplash-antalya.com
