Can't wait for this!  Will be quality.. de witte and sanguiliano expecially.

I'm presuming that they'll play consecutively and, assuming they do, that is going to be one phenomenal 3-4 hours, stu...

It's only two more weeks! I'm so excited.

Also I'm having a party the weekend before. I feel as if I'm at the front of the queue for an amazing rollercoaster.

Eeek! ?

Sunday in the Psy forest. Charlotte De Witte is playing 8:30-10 i believe.

Reference to Sunday Techno Takeover towards the bottom, Winslow. 

Would be phenomenal if Enrico closed 2200-0000h after Charlotte. Now that would be a way to end my first Boomtown (if a little early in the night!). 

I’ve kind of asked before, but ‘seriously’, what do people do at BT after midnight on Sunday??? Do some of the micro/street venues keep going with lower noise levels? Or do we all just jolly well have to go to bed?!

Given your seemingly marvellous access to intel, mr f, is Enrico playing before or after Miss de Witte, do you know?

I was advised last year to go as hard as possible on the Saturday so after midnight on the Sunday it was possible to crash after seeing off the rest of our booze back at the tents - it wasn't straight to bed but was the earliest night of the weekend.

All venues will close at midnight. It's a way of appeasing the locals/council. In recent years, people all congregated in the Hidden woods and got all the bins and started drumming on them! Seemed to keep people happy for a good few hours, until security stopped them.

Sounds like a plan, plus going full tilt at the Sunday Techno Takeover...

Ha! Thanks, mr f.

I'd have thought if anything was going on it'd be dangerous as most of the site will want to be there!

[frostypaw]

If you're not ready to collapse by the time the music stops Sunday then you've paced yourself wrong...

 

[JBarbour]

It could be worse Tramlines Festival in Sheffield shut down at 8:30pm on Sunday to appease locals 

[Jackmypie]

First time for me this year, has been on my to do list for a couple years now. No idea what to expect. I haven’t done much reading up on it all I know it’s meant to be like no other.

My first reaction to that thought, frosty, was bollocks!

This was based on my typically still dancing at 5am on Glastonbury Monday morning!

But then I guess I’d paced for that! So, good advice. Clearly I’m going to have to gun it from the off on the Sunday!!!

I have been going to boomtown for years and every year without fail my legs and back are ready to give up by Sunday 

[mr flow]

Yeah, you have the hill of doom to contend with too, which is a huge energy sapper over the course of the weekend!

haha   it's all about the pacing. have had much sorer feet there than glasto - much more stuff to jump around to. There are always a few little parties going on to use up the last few steps. 

[bennyhana22]

Been listening to some of Charlotte de Witte's Tomorrowland set. It's pretty damn excellent.

Assuming she plays late enough for it to be sunset/dark, to a crowd of techno-heads who have foregone all the other delights of Sunday night at Boomtown to be in the Psy Forest, it should be very, very special...!

Ben

[bennyhana22]

Just tweeted Charlotte to ask her to bring a set like the Tomorrowland one, and that she would be assured of one hell of an appreciative audience...

...she tweeted back saying she would bring an even stronger techno set!

I think we can safely say that is game on!

We wandered to the noise which was the hidden woods drumming. 

But also discovered the silent disco was still going on in one of the inside venues in the  Bario Loco area downtown.
