The multi-platinum singer-songwriter will bring his upbeat hits to the Main Stage, rousing the crowds with infectious choruses from his number one singles, ‘Shotgun’ and ‘Paradise’, as well as soulful and moving sounds like ‘Hold My Girl’.
Grammy-nominated dance duo Disclosure also make their Boardmasters debut, taking the coveted Saturday Main Stage headline slot.
Their new EP ‘Never Enough’ will be taken across Europe on a huge headline tour in 2022, including the stop in Cornwall.
