Boomtown - arguably the UK’s most colourful, creative and downright crazy music and theatrical event - is all set for an explosive return this August. But, with less than two months to go until the curtain lifts on the long-awaited latest instalment of this ever-evolving festival, the musical line-up still remains a closely guarded secret.
The event is a mind-blowing mix of over-the-top production, underground music, interactive theatre and mischievous mayhem. It transforms Hampshire’s bucolic countryside into a sprawling pop-up city, with dozens of venues and a multitude of woodland parties to discover.
Organisers had previously said they “made the bold decision to keep most of the line up a secret until just before the festival” because "there are many aspects to the way the music industry is run that simply don’t work for independent festivals”.
