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.

There is an easy solution to this conundrum.... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Buy a ticket for Boomtown

Ooops! Sorry Ben! Although of course, this apology has now dragged you back in also

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...!).

You should have stuck around for SMD, the sound levels noticeable went up for their set.  I think they could push it up at Pagoda because other stages had finished so total sound out from the site didn't breach the allowed levels.

Was gutted about Enrico but I wanted all our group to stay together on the last night and as I'd seem Enrico at Junction 2 in June I was (relatively) happy to see Charlotte and then pop off to Sector 6 for Andy C which was also pretty good I must say.

Loved that Boomtown was stronger for the techno this year... that forest is perfect for it.  More of that next year please!  A Drumcode takeover would be sweet.

Correct me if I’m wrong, is this a song off the new prodigy album?

Sounds more like Hacktivist to me

Prophets of Rage tour dates. Saturday night... Town Centre makes sense to me? Absolutely Made for Boomtown.

 

[Tommy101]

Would they be too big for town centre? After Cypress Hill doing Lion's Den last year I could see them doing the same slot.

They'd be a great booking though.

Possibly. 2018 was my first Boomtown... I just assumed that Rock was more for the Town Centre than Lions Den, but - you are probably right.

From those dates, they must be in with a shout & if Cypress Hill enjoyed the fest in 2017, they will be up for it.

I'll be a bit surprised if they are not announced.

[mr flow]

Yeah, I would say the Lions Den if they played.

Essssh that would be epic! 

[mr flow]

Looking at those tour dates, and seeing how they fall with Boomtown has made me think this is a real possibility. Also, with the fact they have the same booking agents as Limp Bizkit too....

N.B - I have no info on this, it's purely my own guess work!

Will try and do some digging

Plus, 2 members are in Cypress Hill, who played in 2017....  makes absolute sense to me.

[Tommy101]

CH looked like they were enjoying themselves that evening too. I'm sure they'd welcome the opportunity to come back.

[Neon]

Is it time for something to happen ?

I feel it is near.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Pretty sure there is an announcement today, it was on that promo video.

I had 9th December in my head but I don't remember where I got this from!

Yep today.

Think it'll be the announcement of the new House and Techno stage, but not sure if it'll mention the line up or stage it's replacing. 

[mr flow]

So the announcement was that we have 8 days left until the next announcement

Announcement of the announcement! ?

So much for "all revealed 6th December". Nevermind, I can wait another 8 days...

[FuzzyDunlop]

As soneone who knows a few promoters, Im guessing they were expecting to be able to announce some acts & now can't for some reason. Probably to help sales somewhere else?

[kingbadger]

Given POR were Charing upwards of £60 for their Brixton gig a year or so ago I'd imagine they'd need to be a Lions Den headliner for budget purposes as much as anything.

Part 1: How quickly does Boomtown sell out? I won't be able to purchase tickets until January if I decide to go.

Part 2: Do I choose the Green Man Festival or Boomtown? Truth is I will likely choose one this year and the other next. I like that I can choose tickets, coach transportation and accommodation all in one go for Boomtown. 

[eFestivals]

I think it's unlikely it'll sell out before March or later.
