Line up tends to come out in Feb. Occasionally you get a headliner announced in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of blogs floating around detailing this years story line (see below). I'd also highly recommend joining the boom town story line Facebook group for updates year round on story line. The Chapter 12 conspiracy has already begun. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZKLvOPKBNnAmsS-0BN7iN4pOOG8JBx-B/view?fbclid=IwAR0MTgMZBMtymjkht5BPNB9Mo1lAUH3QK1FMZqSe-K_avRgK21Db1bZRnLI https://boomtown-adventures.tumblr.com/post/187900591126/chapter11?fbclid=IwAR28eI1bftJcclrRgCbHrEgcSYvcKGGk_Hzl1ETR7KS6jRuFITbZFwjtxnQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if Boomtown got them, they are strangely ignored by other fests and with them selling out the Alley Palley now would be a perfect time to book them.

McAlun Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hello...I'm gonna be new to this. Do I have to register before buying a ticket? Any recommendations on best ticket to go for? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quicker you buy a tix the cheaper it will be as it's on a tier system. You may want to consider getting reserved camping tix as if you get there late you'll miss out on the better camping spots which can go quickly and the last spots always suck.

Tommy101 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Yeah, we did the reserved camping this year and I can really see the appeal. To be honest if it was my choice next time I'd 'just get there early' but appreciate this isn't always an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr flow Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Based on social media updates, the artist bookers from Boomtown have made trips to London to see Aphex Twin and Kano in the last few weeks. Could be nothing, but i know they did the same with Groove Armada last year, and they ended up playing....

It wasn't great when it was lashing down, but I enjoyed the relative quietness and it wasn't particularly far from a few stages. A fair trek downtown though.

I was at the back of Paradise Heights, good location for getting to everything, but it was packed in. Wouldn't mind somewhere quieter and easier to find space next year.

jump Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) I've just seen Jeff Goldblum's jazz band is playing a fairly small clubs in the UK next month, would it be too bonkers to have him as headliner on The Lighthouse?

Jimpsnl Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Surely with increase in capacity boomtown will need bigger headliners to ensure ticket sales. also I predict a new stage may be on the way, now that the landowner Peveril Bruce has purchased those 3 fields by Lions Den and Boomtown have already asked to use 1 for more camping, I wonder if a new Main dance stage is on its way either next year or the year after. a lot of people complained this year apparently about the main stages being limited to dnb or techno, sadly not all people attend boomtown for the actors and small venues, a massive portion only attend for the big stages. Maybe Mr Flow or others with inside knowledge may be able to give us some hints. Either way I don’t mind, as long as we get the same sound levels of the relic closing ceremony next year all weekend, I’m happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure, I would of though they'd make the smaller stages headliners and overall line up stronger. There's no point putting on bigger headliners on The Lions Den when they already draw big crowds when it's barely filled the during the day and the smaller stages like Hangar 161 or The Forge for example could be better used to split the crowd.

This. I think you'll see the calibre of the line up improve below the headliners, but the actual main headliners will remain the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
