The Streets and Cypress Hill have both been confirmed as headliners for this year's Relentless Boardmasters surf, skate and music event in Newquay.
Previously known as Unleashed, the action sports festival takes place over five days from the 5th to 9th August. Other acts include Super Furry Animals, Calvin Harris and Roots Manuva - playing at the Beach Bar overlooking Fistral Beach.
The skateboarding and BMX events have $30,000 dollar cash prizes while surfers can win their share of $120,000. There will also be demonstrations of the Relentless Aerial Assault in which surfers are towed using jet skis into waves to perform moves impossible in regular surf conditions.
Earlier in the summer, the 15,000 capacity Relentless NASS Action Sports and Music Festival takes place from 10th to 12th July at The Bath and West Showground in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. This event features skateboarding, BMX, freestyle moto-x and inline skating as well as headliners N*E*R*D on the main stage on Friday 10th July and CKY on Saturday 11th July.
Tickets for these events are available from www.relentlessboardmasters.com and www.relentlessnass.com
