Tier 1 sold out. Anyone remember when in the year tier 2 sold out last year?

[Macca3031]

OK, I've looked back and answered my own question. It was some time between the first line up announcement on 3rd February and the second announcement on the 10th.

Tickets obtained, anyone got any photos/maps of last year? I can't visualise where the Lions den is in relation to campervan field 2/3 years ago

Just Google Boomtown map 2015 and you will find it

About 10 mins walk if I remember correctly, downwards to Lions Den, back up to Campers...

whether I remember correctly is the issue here though.....

Nice, so it's kind of behind kidstown on route to campervans = ideal. Now if they could just sort out a zip wire over to the hidden woods  . . . . . .

They're still trying to get the full waterslide working!

Which would still be awesome.

I am a ticket holder and I didn't get an email

First announcement on Wednesday at 1pm, according to their Facebook. 

[5co77ie]

thought it wouldn't include any acts

[krisroe]

Jut bought the tickets and booked the hotel for Wed night. Excited doesn't cover it. Are there any rumours or anything yet for the main headliners?

I went for the first time last year and the best advice I was given was to just go along with anything that happens. If you see open doorways, go through them. You see telephones, pick them up. Get involved with everything, you won't be disappointed

[krisroe]

Got an e-mail from Boomtown that said 'Make a note for Tuesday 2nd February' so I'm assuming that's the first line-up announcement.

Does anyone know if Arcadia will be at Boomtown this year? Loved it at Glastonbury! I know it was replace by Bang Hai Palace last year (which looks oh very awesome and hectic) but they could always have both ??

I don't think they've said for this year, tho I reckon it's unlikely that Arcadia will be back there this year. They've moved on to doing their own thing rather than buying it in.

Does Damian Marley's being in Europe at the start of September make him likely to appear st BTF this year? I think they've only got him and Ziggy to tick off to complete the full set over the last few years, haven't they?

I was just thinking the same thing ... tho your Marley list misses Ky-mani.

He normally only comes to Europe once a year and sometimes does no UK dates even when he's this side of the pond, so it's hard to judge.

The only other possibles at that end of the summer seem to be Bestival which I could see him being booked for, and One Love where he's probably too big an act for them.

 

[jimmyt]

If he plays, I really don't care what the rest of the line up looks like!

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Some uncertainty cast over Boomtown going ahead here, probably be nothing - http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/news/14232950.Tough_Mudder_organisers_pull_plug_on_Hampshire_event/?ref=fbpg

[5co77ie]

that's more a case of BoomTown more likely to happen the less other events take up the allocated days on the site.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Yeah that's what I took it to mean

[jimmyt]

Is Damian more or less likely following the Bestival announcement?
