Well - my first Boomtown, and I did it as an Oxfam volunteer following straight on from Bestival, so starting already pretty tired maybe wasn't the best plan! We arrived Weddnesday and got sent r

It's still a music festival with 100+ stages with all sorts of non-mainstream acts and music styles but yes it all runs around the city which is a mass of setpieces and literal streets. There is a sto

Boomtown Eve...  hope everyone has a good un!

 

Im gutted Limp Bizkit clash with charlotte de witte.

Ill have half an hour after Jimmy Cliff to get to to limp bizkit.... is this doable?

Town centre and lions den are relatively close to each other so you’ll definitely make it, takes about 10 maybe 15 mins

We have had no grief with my boy downtown in all the years going. Only noticed last year about the rule, so just told him to keep his head down and stay away from security. 

TBH we mostly spent time uptown but we stayed till the end Sunday in Chinatown without any problems. 

Hes only turned 16 this year. 

Thanks. I'm getting spooked by the stories about how strict security is. Hopefully just on the gates.

I'm pretty sure I'll drop by at some point, vl.

It's likely where I'll meet up with some other Glastonbury friends too. My problem is that I'll be like a toddler on Christmas Day, and at 7pm won't want to stand around chatting...I'll want to be off seeing everything!!

May be a stupid question but when checking the essential guide they linked earlier I saw this:

Acceptable forms of ID include; photographic driving license, proof of age card with PASS hologram or a passport. Photocopies will not be accepted.

I'm from the Netherlands and don't have any of these, just an identity card from my country which doesn't have that hologram. I reckon I'm just pranging cause I'm allergic to dogs but I should be fine right? haha

Yes, Thursday, Sas. 

My Friday night is looking quite trancey and my Sunday night is VERY techno! As I’ve said before, always happy to be around as a rave buddy if you’re on your own. 

Shame about Saturday night! That’s looking pretty sweet too! 0200-0400h Simian Mobile Disco DJ set could be phenomenal. One of the two of them played a techno set at Latitude last year and it was STELLAR!

Or do the correct thing and sack off Fred’s crew for Charlotte, Fuzz. 

Obviously.

Does anyone know if we can buy programs on Thursday? I only remember seeing the wheelie bin sellers on Friday last year.

I think so. I forget what they call them but there are huge desks which sell T Shirts and act as info points. If you're on the hunt I'd start there, I think it's where we got one last year.

There will be people wandering around with wheelie bins full of them from gates opening, just keep an eye out. They will also sell them from the info points which look like little village sections with a huge boomtown logo on them.

They're normally £10 and yeah I've never felt robbed by them, it's very nicely done and ad free.
