Insider's Upside Down and Update: Heard of the Upside Down Disco? Surfstock has got 'em to do their thing at this year's festival.

An ample supply of bars will serve Tiger beers and local Skinner’s ales; there is also a dedicated Jose Cuervo tequila bar. Other attractions include Silent Disco, a fancy dress day, the Silver Surfer, eight food stalls including an American diner, a trader’s market, chill out areas and some very special surprises… Press Play will be running the Cornish Cream tent showcasing the best of local music talent, and Music Evolution also have their own tent. There is a 4am music licence.

Surfstock will aim to reduce its carbon footprint and impact on the local area by providing free shuttle buses to the beach and back all day as well as organising car-sharing. Precautions against bad weather have been taken; the festival is well sited with excellent drainage and there will be plenty of shelter in case of rain.

The festival’s official charity is Love Music Hate Racism.
