Wakestock began back in the year 2000 as a party in a car park for 500 people and a wakeboard contest during the day. Since then it has grown to become a major festival attracting over 20,000 people and still takes place where it all began, on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales.

The festival takes place over three different sites in a stunning location; the festival site itself, Pwllheli Marina and Abersoch Beach.

Over the years Wakestock has played host to some of the biggest names in UK music, but Wakestock has always been about more than just the music – they’ve also attracted the best wakeboarding talent in the world to this tiny corner of North Wales, who make the pilgrimage every year for their chance to take the title of Wakestock Champion. This is the contest which all the riders love – throwing down the tricks in front of the biggest crowds at any European contest in the stunning water of Abersoch Beach and Pwllheli Marina. The festival crowds enjoy watching the action during the daytime and enjoying some chill time on the stunning beaches before returning to the festival site for more music action.

They are thrilled to announce that this year the festival has evolved to become WAKESTOCK GÅ´YL Y MOR (FESTIVAL OF THE SEA). It takes the existing annual festival featuring the best in music and wakeboarding from around the globe, and brings it back to its roots, celebrating all that is great and good about its home, the Llyn Peninsula, Cardigan Bay.
