Glass Butter Beach – the renowned wake, surf, music and beach lifestyle festival – is back for its this summer from Friday 19 – Sunday 21 August 2016.
Evolving out of an underground wakeboard event on Abersoch Beach, Glass Butter Beach has rapidly become one of the most talked about events in North Wales fusing an exhilarating mix of high-profile bands and DJs with world class wakeboarding & surfing and an alluring beach lifestyle.
Taking place at Llanbedrog, Abersoch Glass Butter Beach boasts some of the best beaches and most stunning landscapes seen anywhere in the UK with festival goers able to look out across beautiful Cardigan Bay toward the west coast of Wales. The naturally sheltered bays provide perfect conditions for wakeboarding while just around the corner are some of the best beaches for surfing in the country.
Previous artists at Glass Butter Beach have included Professor Green, Soul II Soul, Roger Sanchez, Wilkinson and Less Than Jake but festival organisers insist that the best is yet to come.
Said festival founder Mark Durston: “We’re tremendously excited about this year’s event. Glass Butter Beach has seriously grown in both size and reputation over the last few years and 2016 is going to be bigger and better than ever.
“We’ve got some incredible talent to announce as well as some amazing sporting developments including the first ever Quadra Crown, a brand new international event. Watch this space!
This year Glass Butter Beach will launch and host a world first, the inaugural ‘Quadra Crown’ of wakeboarding. A truly international competition, the best riders from around the world will compete for the first global title that covers all four disciplines within the sport: boat, wake park, big air and pool gap. It is expected to attract riders from all over the globe to compete in this unique event with the winners claiming an impressive £10K prize pot.
First artist announcements will be made on Thursday 17 March with early bird tickets on sale from 9am on Friday 18 March including general camping and exclusive glamping options. Ticket purchasers and festival attendees must be 16+ to attend Glass Butter Beach festival although some of the wakeboard competitions are free to watch and available to all ages.
