Miesh Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 On 26 November 2017 at 3:21 PM, FailUsername said: Hi all, This is my 1st post on this site. Was wondering if anybody is going to this solo or are looking for a group to join/travel with? I really would like to go to this festival next year but everyone I ask keeps whinging about the ticket price. I'd rather be there with people who "get it" and think that the experience is well worth what you pay but I am not so keen on going to the event solo. If anybody is in a similar boat to me and was interested in forming a group I will definately look at getting a ticket asap. Cheers all! Hello Have a look at this thread. Jack won tickets btw. I tried to just link to the thread but I couldn't. Anyway you can click through and read the beginning. An incredible group of people they are! There will be a fair few at Boomtown. You would be welcome to join us if you end up going solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FailUsername Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hi Miesh, Thanks heaps for the above link and congrats to Jack! Is there an active thread regarding this Solo Camp and Boomtown for next year? This thread from what I saw was mainly discussing Glastonbury Thanks again mate!

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Could the Chemical Brothers play Boomtown? Admittedly doesn't really fit previous years headliners, playing in live in Cornwall that weekend so touring the live show around that time...

Leftfield played the other year, so Chems seems plausible to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope as don't want to jeopardise my chances of information going forward. I'm not even sure the act I've been told is the name being released tomorrow so don't really want to scupper any surprises for people. Plus I don't want to feed duff information, unless i'm sure it's definitely happening! Edited December 5, 2017 by mr flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted December 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I'll chuck this in because I knows they've tried before.... Manu Chao. It'd be a curve ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Would be really chuffed with Manu Chao. Always wanted to see him, can imagine him going down really well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHole2006 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Would be absolutely made up if it were Manu Chao. He pulled off a blinder at Glastonbury '08. If there's anyone on here who hasn't listened to his live albums particularly, do it! He brings some serious energy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingbadger Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 That's huge. Massive step up in terms of name value, but having seen them twice on this tour they'll go down an absolute riot, so much energy. Imagine a deal has been done so their special guests play slots over the weekend so I imagine we could well see the likes of De La Soul, Popcaan etc elsewhere. Do wonder with an act of that size who they can put on elsewhere to draw people away from Lions Den. It's gonna be heaving! Proper excited for this, thought they were a pipedream for Boomtown and were hoping they were the missing APE headliner. Tickets will be flying out now no doubt!

mr flow Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I think it's safe to say that's a curve ball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackarmy Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Massive headliner for Boomtown! Look at where they've headlined in the past. Huge step up from the likes of The Specials, Cypress Hill and MIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted December 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 just so you know, over 50% of tickets had gone before Gorillaz were announced. If you want a ticket, I wouldn't leave it long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
