Hi guys, I've never been to boomtown before but really want to go next year although I may be alone because my friends are all boring old men at the age of 23 aha anyway how did you lot who went alone get on? Did you have a good or bad experiance and was it easy enough to meet people who'll take you under their wing lol

Made a short list of acts that I think could appear.
Chance the rapper
Faithless (Dj set)De la soul
SBTRKT
Sampha
Gold panda
Slaves (live set not just DJ)
Delta heavy
Sub focus
Run the jewels
Flumeany thoughts?
I like the idea of all of those! A couple more I think could make the bill is professor green and the 1975 maybe two door cinema club or gaslight anthem

Increase in stages? They've brought back stages they've had in a lock up... and the discounted tickets are only available for 2 days most people get paid monthly and probably won't have any money left over to afford a ticket right now.. I get paid weekly so I can afford it but I'll prefer to hold fire and see what happens instead of potentially wasting money right now... boomtown seem to be the ones putting effort in and as a result have taken a lot of the bestival punters and if things keep leaning the way they are I'll be joining them to see what the fuss is all about
-
I thought they moved off the island to save money? Where've they put the saved money in their pockets? Cash grab year for 2017 and call it a day in 2018? I'm seriously contemplating binning bestival off and going to boomtown
-
By defend I mean tell others it's better Than reading and iow because they're just full of 17 year olds trying ket for the first time
-
So sad to say this because I love bestival and would defend it against most festivals in the past but I think the end is near for them... they'll probably rename common people southampton bestival next year lol
-
Assuming "the temple" is the same as the one they have at bestival Toronto
-
Bestival website is working now
-
I would love to see rhcp again so I'm hopefull they do headline!
Foofighters would be amazing too!

I think you mean 2016 as 2015 has more stages & alternative things to do since since I've been going. I missed 2016, looks like I dodged a bullet.
Duran Duran were all right but amazing at the same time.
I'm saying that 2015-16 weren't great. I didn't attend in 2015 for the first time since I started going but from what I heard it wasn't great compared to previous years
apparently they are bringing back the old stages for 2017 so hopefully they bring back the bestival feel

What did you make of Duran Duran?!
I never see them as I didn't attend in 2015... I did catch a little bit of them at common people southampton though, seemed pretty good... my favourite bestival headliner would probably be Elton john

Eh? 2015 was a banger. Everyone I went with really enjoyed it.
Sat night I saw Slaves-Annic Mac-Chemical Brothers-Annie Mac B2B RDB.
Sun afternoon I saw Snap! into The Jacksons!Compared to previous lineups that's not a great year in my opinion... a lot of others seem to have agreed as well through Facebook reviews and various tweets from friends

Bestival 2016 was a major let down, especially compared to 2015. The whole vibe was off and the logistics and planning of the site didn't work. I'm off to Boom Town in 2017
2015 was a huge let down compared to previous years from what I've heard.. 2015 being the first year in many which I didn't attend, in saying that 2016 wasn't great but I trust it can be sorted as long as certain things are changed first being the lineup haha
-
I'm going with justice Thursday the xx Friday calvin Harris Saturday and Kendrick or some other rapper on the Sunday... other acts I would like to go are gaslight anthem- jauz- professor green
-
Anyone think possibly it's something to do with decorated stages and areas? Bestival f**ked up with that last year big time with the space port being a bit of scaffold haha they could have at least wrapped it up with something to make it look like a rocket... Boom town on the other hand has some awesome looking stages and areas, lions den being an awesome looking one!
Back when bestival had the red bull stage (which would change every year) and when they had the swamp shack, reggae roots and the port Bestival seemed to be doing better

boomtown.
As proven by it selling out, and selling twice the number of tix Bestival did last year.
Having been to both myself, I know Boomtown isn't fluking it.
Knew that somone would say that haha so is it just the one festival stopping bestival selling out?

Really? Steady ticket sales decline, lack of response (from public) to social media posts/adverts for the radio shows etc
(both Bestival and rob da bank).
More fashionable festivals, with great line ups, that fill to capacity.
Id give it Two more years til it gets pulled.
Name the more fashionable festivals?
-
The lay out does look decent, but it looks like there are less stages than at robin hill

Have a read here what they are applying for. E - live Music. F - Recorded Music.
So does that mean the music could potentially go on until 5am?
-
I'm not too sure but from what I could tell from the picture they put up of the robot building today it looked like they had the old stage back
toward the right hand of the screen
-
What's the wi tent?

Although I'm going with friends it would be nice to know you guys would be meeting up, its definitely a great idea! You'll be getting smashed with randomers anyway so why not let it be with randomers who will become friends haha
-
See I'm 22, I get where you are coming from smogo but surely I'm not the only younger person to use forums haha! I used to see you post quite often, it's nice to see that you are still going on here
-
It's crazy how little is on the map, the big top looks a lot smaller as well! Bit of a pisstake considering we are still paying £200
BoomTown 2017 alone!
in Boomtown Fair

Awesome, well if you're going alone next year let me know and we will arrange meeting up or whatever so neither of us are alone
