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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd struggle to have a better 'acid' stage than Tribe of Frog though. That place is magical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not sure if you'll get line ups for the new stage on 6th of December either, but hopefully you will.

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!

Ben 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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.

Fell in the mud! 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...!). Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyhana22 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 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!
