Spring Classic, a new festival celebrating live music, surf, skate, ride and van culture, will be held in Woolacombe, north Devon, England, from 27-30 May 2022.
Organised by Wavelength Surf Magazine, the three-day festival will showcase a range of high-profile acts alongside local musicians. Visitors to Spring Classic can also enjoy an action-packed weekend with surfing competitions, wild swimming, coastal trail-runs, yoga, live fire cooking feasts and demonstrations, as well as a show and shine area for van and motor lovers.
Linley Lewis, Wavelength and event director, said: “Wavelength has a 40-year heritage with an engaged audience and we’re really excited to bring together all the key components we see for the perfect weekend in one of the most beautiful spots in the country. There aren’t many festivals where every camper will get a seaview.”
The organisers have been working closely with the UK’s National Trust and have been developing the concept with key members of the local surf and wider community. The event is the first of its kind to come to the Woolacombe area for a long period of time and promises to be a celebration for the local community, as well as providing a boost to the local economy.
“It’s great to see an event like this come to Woolacombe, we’re all super excited to be involved and will be helping out to organise the surf comp onsite,” said Steve Adams, chair of the Woolacombe boardriders.
UK disco favourites Crazy P have been announced as the Saturday music headliner, with a string of highly regarded and tipped acts and artists in support including Porij, Anchorsong, Falle Nioke, Far Caspian and Low Island. The festival is also supporting a range of local artists with stage slots already confirmed for local up and coming band Shake the Geek, and local shanty crew Anchor’s Aweigh.
Tickets are now on sale, and include a mixture of weekend passes, as well as camping, glamping and van upgrade options, with discounts for children and families. See springclassic.co.uk
