Boardmasters Festival 2025 responds to viral spiking and sexual assault claims
Despite reports of improved safety measures, Boardmasters 2025 has faced online complaints of spiking and sexual assault by festival goers. Over the weekend, fans headed to Cornwall's coastal town of Newquay to see the likes of The Prodigy, Raye, and Central Cee headline. However, complaints have sprung up across social media after the festival, claiming that fans were being spiked with needles while in the crowd. Spiking refers to giving someone drugs or alcohol without their consent or even knowledge about it, usually in their drink or by injection. Boardmasters told Metro there were 'no confirmed cases of spiking' over the past two years, although there were a 'small number of people' who reported to their medical centre. Other concerning accusations included one young girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted and left in floods of tears after the horrific experience. Speaking on TikTok, user for_the_love_of_riding shared two separate incidents she was made aware of, both involving young girls. 'The most upsetting event for me happened on Saturday night,' the woman began, explaining that she saw a young girl, 'maybe 16 or 17 years old', who was being looked after by a steward. The festival steward was walking her over to hospitality as he believed she needed a bit of 'time out' when they crossed paths with the woman. 'She just looked at me and said 'help', I think probably just because I was a female,' she continued, explaining that the steward and various other staff supporting the young girl were men. The TikToker continued: 'I put my arm around her and said 'whats the matter?' and she [broke into] floods of tears. She kept repeating 'I kept saying no, I said no, he wouldn't stop'. @for_the_love_of_riding ♬ original sound – for_the_love_of_riding 'She proceeded to be very upset and described a pretty nasty sexual assault that she had suffered in the main arena.' The young girl and the woman went over to a welfare tent, specialising in sexual violence support, where she once again described the horrific incident. Eventually, the woman left the girl in the care of the female staff at the tent, calling it 'extremely upsetting' to hear the details. She claimed this was the second incident she was made aware of at the festival, having spoken to the mother of another girl who believed she was spiked. 'Her daughter was also 16 and the scary thing for them was that she was completely sober for the whole festival but she came out of the crowd looking as if she was suddenly really drunk,' the poster explained. 'Her mum spotted that and thought that was a little bit odd. She went to go over to her daughter, a guy stood in between them and said 'oh she doesn't look very well'.' Pushing the stranger out of the way, the mum got to her daughter and quickly realised she was potentially 'given something' and spent the night in the medical tent. A mark was allegedly found on the 16-year-old girl's arm, but this was 'not conclusive proof' and the medical team said it would either react as a bite in the morning or remain flat, indicating spiking. She was also advised to go to hospital for treatment for a 'needle stick injury', which will also include tests for HIV and other illnesses as the needles are not sterile. 'Sexual assault, spiking, and girls made to feel very very afraid was a frequent occurrence,' the TikToker said. 'It definitely felt more dangerous as the days went on,' she continued. 'It felt quite aggressive at times. It's really sad because girls should be able to go to these things and not have to feel like they're at risk.' Other social media users shared their experiences, from other stories of needle spiking to mindless acts of vandalism such as 'tent slashing' and fires. Cooper May, a 17-year-old influencer, was attending with his dad — ItsDaddyMay on TikTok — and also reported being spiked with a needle. After five hours in the hospital, the family gave an update stating his blood tests had 'all come back fine' but he had a hepatitis B vaccination and still needs further testing to 'prevent HIV', which his dad acknowledged was 'highly unlikely'. He said Boardmasters had 'let them down with their duty of care' and they weren't going to just 'move on' from the incident but for now, until Cooper is given the final all clear, they just wanted to go home. More Trending In a statement shared with Metro, Boardmasters said: 'Over the past two years, there have been no confirmed cases of spiking at Boardmasters. This year, while a small number of people reported to our medical and welfare facilities believing they had been spiked, all later either tested negative following the onsite testing process or retracted their reports. 'Even so, safety is at the heart of everything we do and we know that spiking is a wider societal and community issue. We know how important it is to stay proactive, and we take our responsibility and duty of care seriously. That's why our site has dedicated safety teams, trained staff, spiking test kits, medical professionals, and specialist welfare teams ready to help anyone who feels unwell or unsure. 'The onsite testing for spiking at Boardmasters is a rigorous process, involving assessment and review by multiple teams. Following welfare testing and assessment and medical triage, case details and circumstances are reviewed collaboratively by Safeguarding teams and Devon & Cornwall Police. 'We're committed to doing everything we can to prevent spiking and to educate people about the risks, as part of our wider mission to promote safety and well-being. In recent years, we've invested heavily in awareness campaigns, partnering with It Happens Education to run year-round webinars and school sessions with teachers and pupils helping young people feel informed and supported before they even set foot at the festival.'

The best late summer UK festivals to book in 2025
There is little Britain does better than music festivals, and it's not only because our nation's commitment to getting drunk in muddy fields is as pivotal a coming-of-age experience as leaving school or passing your driving test; from city shindigs like All Points East to world-leading events such as Reading and Leeds, each summer is a reminder of just how brilliant British music can be. While Glastonbury may have been and gone, there are still a cluster of marvellous festivals to look forward to in August. Here is our pick of the best: Green Man, August 14-17 If Boardmasters takes the title of 'Most beautiful seaside festival', than Green Man, which takes place in the stunning surroundings of the Brecon Beacons, in Wales, surely edges the competition for mountains and greenery. It sells out as fast as Glastonbury – before announcing the line-up, may we add – and is constantly declared by attendees to be the best-kept secret in the music industry, so if you're going, count yourself lucky. The finest names in indie and electronica, from Underworld and Wet Leg to Wunderhorse, TV on the Radio, Beth Gibbons and Yard Act, are set to perform alongside countless exciting new bands. Tickets are sold out, but for more information, click here. All Points East, August 16-24 No self-respecting millennial Londoner's summer is complete without at least two trips to this Victoria Park festival. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful east London park, All Point Easts always attracts the brightest names in indie rock, rap and electronic music across its August run. This year's line-up features drum 'n' bass titans Chase and Status (Sat 16); Scottish DJ Barry Can't Swim, supported by Aussie hedonists Confidence Man (Fri 22); Brit-sweeper Raye, and rising rap star Doechii (Sat 23); and Noughties indie heroes The Maccabees (Sun 24). Tickets here. Reading and Leeds, August 21-24 Every British teenager's drunken rite of passage returns for another year, split across two sites in Reading and Leeds across the August Bank Holiday weekend. But it's not just about the cider-fuelled shenanigans in the campsites or the late-night dance tents: the line-up is always packed with stars, and this year – headlined by Hozier, Chappell Roan, Bring Me the Horizon and Travis Scott, with Limp Bizkit, Bloc Party and Amyl and the Sniffers also set to appear – is no exception. Tickets here. Lost Village, August 21-24 Lost Village, described as a 'playground for adults' with a focus on community is a beautifully designed boutique festival in Lincolnshire, with luxury accommodation and a brilliant electronic-heavy line-up this year featuring Caribou, Barry Can't Swim and Four Tet. There's also an eclectic array of debates, interviews, creative workshops and talks throughout the four days, as well as a serene lakeside spa and mind-and-body healing activities from sound baths to yoga and massages. The decadent woodland feasts are not to miss either. Tickets here. Victorious Festival, August 22-24 Bringing some of the biggest names in rock and indie to Portsmouth's Southsea Common on Bank Holiday Weekend, Victorious has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years, and 2025's line-up easily holds its own against the behemoths that are Isle of Wight or Reading and Leeds; catch sets from US mega-rockers Queens of the Stone Age and Kings of Leon, arty indie heroes Vampire Weekend and the ever-reliable likes of Madness, Michael Kiwanuka, Bloc Party and The Charlatans. Tickets here. FORWARDS, August 23-24 This relatively new city affair takes place in Bristol with some of the finest names in electro, pop and soul making up its eclectic line-up; there's DJ Barry Can't Swim, Grammy-winning rapper Doechii, soul singer Olivia Dean and indie favourites The Last Dinner Party to sink your teeth into, plus many more. Tickets here. End of the Road, August 28-31 Always a wonderful way to round off the summer, Britain's most laid-back – and arguably coolest – festival returns, bringing the talented likes of Father John Misty, Self Esteem, Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory and Black Country, New Road to the tranquil surroundings of Larmer Tree Gardens, near Salisbury. Tickets here.
