Line up for 2024....

[gooner1990]

Any rumours? 

Heard the Levellers might be playing! 😄 

[Skip997]

Pick a few regulars who played in 2022 and you won't be far off.

[Haz3ly_MC]

Haven't heard much about them lately, but if they're playing, it might be worth checking out. 

[Flaminglippy]

They've just said on FB an announcement (about the line up announcement) is coming soon...

[gooner1990]

Last years was announced in early Feb so that sounds about right! 🙂 

[spg]

[Steve G]

Levellers 

Madness 

Frank Turner 

That's my bet for this year

Justin from NMA hinted last year he'd be back with the band

Happy with this line up to be fair!  Inspiral carpets were the first band I ever saw. At the oasis in Swindon when Noel Gallagher was their roadie 🤣

Kaptain Barratt is the booker for BoomTown so I assume that set will be 'lively'

Didn't know the was bit. The booking was probably pretty easy most were on redial and Using several identities.

[Pinhead]

Happy with this and whatever my shifts allow me to see. Result.

Recommended? Not familiar with them.

Overall it don't look bad at a first pass.  Probably the first time that the headliners across main and big top haven't really grabbed me at all, but plenty there to keep us going.  Shame that both Saw Doctors and Richard Hawley are on Friday as it's left Saturday looking a wee bit bare.

Need to have a proper run through, but lower down the card does look interesting.  As I said to my brother, I don't think we'll find ourselves short of things to keep us occupied between visits to the cider bars and food stalls 😄

Yea I like them

Re the line up overall, it's fairly standard BD fare, neither particularly good or particularly bad.

As usual the Little Big Top is by far the best and most interesting venue.

Just checked them out.. nothing for me Old son 😕

[Nuthugger]

just seen levellers are doing the stone valley festival shows. i went to my local one last year...pretty grim and commercial. not something I'd expect levellers to be at. I thought theyd have more self respect......

[Paul ™]
