Despite the move, the organisers have confirmed that the music schedule will still go head as planned, at the new location of The Chy Bar & Kitchen and The Koola Club in Newquay.

Commenting on recent developments, the new lease-holders of Great Western Beach, said: "We are truly sorry for the inconvenience that the move of Electric Beach from Great Western Beach has caused. We hope the event is a great success and once again offer our sincere apologies to both ticket holders and to those due to work at the beach."

The event will now be taking place at The Chy Bar & Kitchen and The Koola Club with the full music line up going ahead as planned. We deeply regret the disappointment caused but hope ticket holders will be keen to join us at the new venue.
