Not too long to wait but that clip isn't giving too much away.  I'm guessing that there's some significance to the very brief shot of Pagoda Plaza/Metropolis, in light of @mr flow's earlier comment?!

The Boomtown comment for the video explains a bit more: 

A NEW WORLD IS COMING!

techno / house / acid

 

This is what will replace the big stage i mentioned earlier

Ooh that does sound appealing. 

They'd struggle to have a better 'acid' stage than Tribe of Frog though. That place is magical.

Perfect. So 6th December it is announced? Not too long to wait then.

I thought I read somewhere the headliners were announced then too... or was that in Feb?

I don't think the headliners will get announced as early this year. I'm also not sure if you'll get line ups for the new stage on 6th of December either, but hopefully you will.

GAH!

@mr flow mentioned that this might be coming.

   

I'm back to the Farm as my one-festival-a-year model (although I seem to have won the lottery and am incorporating 2 nights at Dimensions into a family holiday in Croatia ??).

So, as mentioned to mr f, Block9 and the rest of them had better play a flippin' blinder...

My only small anxiety for the wonderful sounding new Boomtown stage is if it ends up with sound as quiet and disappointing as the Pagoda Plaza which was, quite frankly, a bit shite!

Im doing the Glastonbury / Boomtown double header. I thought you were too. Yeah the Pagoda Palace was a bit shit. My main hope is they keep the psychedelic forest and have techno Sunday on in there again. Enrico sangiuliano was probably my set of the weekend.

As someone who's never been to BT before. Is this good news for House music?

I think House and Techno aren’t particularly well represented at Boomtown, so I think it’s great news. I’m not so sure the Drum and Bass/Bass music crowd will be as happy though as it’ll mean less stages driven towards that music

The best advice I can give to someone who's never been to boomtown is to GO!

They'll still have sector 6 though. Both sector 6 and bang hai were pretty well represented this year with DnB - keeping it as the one stage would do.

The first time we went in there, the sound was shit.  Other times it was pumping.  Simian Mobile Disco there was sweet sound levels.

They were monitoring sound levels at off site locations and cutting stage outputs depending on wind direction etc.

Charlotte De Witte in the forest was probably my moment of the year.   Missed Enrico.  Fell in the mud!

Yeh, much as I love DnB (and I really really do!!) it wouldn't hurt to mix it up a bit. There's still a shed loan of DnB in the scrapyard and other places, and I definitely wouldn't mind exploring some more techno. 

Thanks for the little clip there, @mr flow - it has cheered my Thursday morning right up

Hmmm I wonder how many of us are doing the double? Hopefully a few more  by resale time! Need to do a head count at the Glasto meet up

I was SOOOOOO bored at Pagoda Plaza waiting for SMD (who I had in firm pencil as a set to see...their DJ set at Latitude 2017 was incredible...) and the sound was so poor, that I sacked the monkeys off and went to Tribe of Frog for my second night in a row of stellar psytrance. And that's in the Boomtown area with the. best. sound. And that's not an opinion. It is FACT!

And that's such a bummer @stu_kent about Enrico...Charlotte was pretty good, Enrico was unbelievable. About as good a festival-ending set as you could imagine (I'm not trying to be an arse...!).

I've got a ticket for Glastonbury, but we are due to have our second child on the 31st of May, so i'm going to have to probably have to put my ticket back into the resale pot  I've not given up the dream though, but logistically, i'm not sure it's possible!

[Sasperella]

I also enjoy how this thread is all about FACTS (as @bennyhana22 just alluded to) and not the hilariously mental speculation seen on the Glastonbury forum. 

"Do we have an announcement"

"No"

"Ok, good, carry on as you were...Boomtown is ace"

You are correct. 

I walked up those steps about 10 times this year to get back to Tribe of Frog and it was worth it every time.

Oh, well congratulations! That's also a great day for a birthday - its the same as mine 

Are you still planning on Boomtown? You seem pretty involved in the whole thing, so I assume so?

Yeah i'll definitely be at Boomtown

[bennyhana22]

Will you lot please STOP tagging my username to posts in this thread* as it inevitably leads to me coming her to respond politely (as one should), thus serving only to remind me that I'm not going to Boomtown in 2019! Which is a bit rubbish.

mr flow is the closest thing that eFests has to a Boomtown 'inside man', Sas!
