The spectacular, yet intimate, Masked Ball is back, offering hedonists three decadent days of dance and debauchery, in a site carved into the cliffs overlooking the sea in Portheven, Cornwall.

Both the Spring and Halloween events have become renowned for their artistic creativity, imaginative site layouts and hedonism inducing entertainment.

This year, for the first time, the Ball has a 24 hour music license, meaning they are one of the few festivals in the UK where you can truly dance from dusk 'til dawn.

The first line-up announcement reveals Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, fresh from supporting LCD Soundsystem and Soulwax, will be manning the decks in the Grand Ball Room on Saturday night, alongside party heroes; Optimo, Fort Romeau and Paramid.

Also returning to the Ball’s traditional Porthleven home for 2018, is the hit venue The Underworld including the sleazy New York disco venue Coney Island, featuring party starters Horse Meat Disco, alongside Crimes of the Future, Jac the Disco and the legendary Italian Cosmic Disco pioneer Daniele Baldelli.

45 Live returns to the Tipi stage for a celebration of Hip-Hop, Funk and turntablist culture.

Saturday night ball tickets are available for just £60, with a weekend ticket (from Friday to Monday), for £85. Both tickets include camping.
