Who is behind Boomtown?
Boomtown was started by a small team of young creative party goers who wanted to create something different - - an experience that brings to life underground music, art and theatre culture.
The festival is still run by the same people who started it - but we’ve come a long way in the last 15 years!
What is the Boomtown immersive world?
The Boomtown immersive world is a collection of storylines which create the living city that is Boomtown. Some storylines are national news stories involving the whole city. Some storylines are local news stories involving just one district. Some storylines are town gossip involving just a few characters. Our audience also brings their own storylines… it might become confusing, but that’s all part of the fun.
There may come a time when all storylines seem to connect, and it all suddenly makes sense.
What is Boomtown?
Boomtown is a five day immersive music festival set in a parallel world. We’re on a mission to inspire the emergence of a better world all while having a blast.
Eight city districts come to life, each with their own unique vision for how we build a perfect world. There’s characters to meet, causes to join and secrets to be revealed around every corner.

How do I start ‘the storyline’?
There is no single Boomtown storyline. Like any city, there are many stories happening at once. Which stories you find out about or become involved in will depend on a combination of which district you hang out in, who you speak to, and pure luck.
