Taking on the industry-wide issue of campsite waste was without a doubt our biggest mission of the year... 

LOST AN ITEM? 

We want to reunite you with your lost belongings and here's how...

With high winds forecast and some of our fellow festivals forced to cancel across the country, we’re understandably getting a lot of questions about what we’re doing to prepare for the predicted severe weather. 

We can't wait to finally welcome you all back into the city for Chapter 11! The city gates will open today at 2pm for the Wednesday set up day... 

One last bonus line-up for you all... the thought-provoking, discussion inspiring Speakers Corner!

As many are aware for the past 2 years we have been working alongside The Loop to provide front of house drugs safety service, we are deeply saddened to announce that they are no longer able to provide the drugs safety testing service at the festival this year. 

In the soundtrack to our lives, there are few who have played such a huge part. A tribute for the opening show of Nucleus.

BREAKING! BOOMTOWN NEWS IS BACK WITH A BRAND NEW FRESH LOOK!!

Sound has always been central to our Boomtown journey …  the team’s passion for insane bass levels is very real but with over 100 stages running till 4 am we have to pioneer new ways to keep sound from escaping the festival site and up until now we have never quite got it right, especially when quick wind changes occur,  but, we ARE going to crack it for Chapter 11 and here's how…

Your next payment is due in less than a week - are you ready? 

First act leaked for Diss-Order Alley...
