stalemate9 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Nice, why secret headline act I wanna know now! Any guesses? Some great acts on there though. Nice to see Danny Byrd added to the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomtown will also be launching the brand new Paradise Gardens ‘Hospitality’ package in the next few weeks, as a final way for those yearning to get involved in this year’s celebrations to be a part of the hottest festival in the UK right now. Clearly BT has sold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your experiences with camping at Boomtown? What's the best place to be, do you need to rush to get a decent spot, etc.? Yes there's load of other camping, those are just the specific reserved/family areas. No idea what'll be happening with the camping this year as they've removed the most popular area, but in general there's not a lot of flat ground so there'll be some rush for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll just see where we end up when we get there. I did purchase a locker in the Downtown Area, as I believe the other option (Hilltop) is more of the family area? I see there's also a (rather expensive) option to purchase access to 'Zooloos', which will let you take a shower. I presume this is only for when you want some fancy premium private shower, while there are also general showers open to everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuie Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 On 01/03/2018 at 10:14 PM, On The Blend said: Forgive my ignorance here, but is there any other festival that does what Boomtown does in terms of having an ongoing storyline with actors and performers playing parts in an alternate reality? From what I've seen I have been really impressed by the extent to which Boomtown goes to create a feeling of being in an entirely different world. No! It's pretty unique and they've perfected their niche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually rather natty! You may be aware of my t shirt obsession from other threads...! And yes, if it was back printed with the logo of a nicely underground techno imprint it's be just about perfect. Saying that, remember too that after several Glastonburys I am, and never will be, I suspect, a solo-er again - not that I 'wouldn't', just that I'm not sure I'll ever not be with some of the dearest friends I have now, as a result of meeting them on the Farm. For my first Boomtown I'll be camping with a really good friend and raving non-stop with a camper-van field based other best pal! Can't wait, Sasperella. Assuming the volunteering comes off, we really must meet up for a dance sometime over the weekend... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuie Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Dutty Moonshine are quality, if you like those electro swing sounds... they've played both Boomtown and Glasto for the last couple of years. OMG It's the Church and Too Many T's are decent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all flat though, and a bit out of the way, but if you look at last years map, the camping areas in the bowl (Barrio Loco, DSTRKT 5) aren't actually that big, though they tended to be high density. Likewise Sector 6 and Lion's Den camping were only completely full by Friday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
