Boardmasters has revealed that controversial British pop sensation Lily Allen is set to headline The Land of Saints Stage on Saturday, August 11.
This will be the first time Lily – who just had a very public spat with Piers Morgan – will have performed in Cornwall since her superb Eden Sessions headliner in 2007.
She has tweeted about the Boardmasters appearance with 12 smiley faces, which we think means she's pretty excited about it.

No stranger to a festival stage, Lily Allen burst on to the scene in 2006 with hits Smile and LDN and has gone on to have three UK number one singles, two number one albums and more than 5 million album sales worldwide. Her new studio album, No Shame, is released on Friday, June 8, and is already receiving widespread critical acclaim.

Lily's latest offering features comeback single Trigger Bang featuring Giggs, Higher and Three. Recently, Lily collaborated with Stormzy on Cigarettes & Kush, a song which thrilled festivalgoers when he performed it on the Boardmasters Main Stage last year.
