Boomtown is a refreshing gem in the UK music festival scene with past line ups including a diverse mix of bands and artists, such as Gorillaz, Shy FX, Chase and Status, Wu-Tang Clan, and Limp Bizkit,
The 13-year-old festival is normally held during the height of summer, but in an unfortunate turn of events, Boomtown was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Disappointment followed in 2021 when organisers were forced to cancel the festival again, with a lack of government financial support to cover Covid-related cancellations for music festivals.
