My lips are sealed. I reckon it's by far the strongest line up yet though. Only an hour and a half to wait!

Oh 😞 Oh well, I'm going to assume this is because he is saving himself for IICON 

[WStoner]

Ah for fuck's sake, I thought someone here said Aphex Twin was nailed on for Boomtown this year?

Libertines and pop will eat itself jumped out at me

To be fair, I did say it wasn't 100% confirmed, but apologies for the misinformation and getting your hopes up

100% out or could he be added later on?

I don’t think they’d announce it at a later date, so guess this means 100% out.

I'd like to take full credit for this.  I've been badgering Lak and Kaptin for a few years to make this happen.  The recent tour didn't blow my socks off but I will be there with bells on!

Amazing line up for me all round!

Wow. Best lineup I've seen anywhere in Europe for my taste. Well played again, Boomtown

Wooo! Love PWEI! Thanks!

Underworld, Squarepusher and Orbital are all playing on Nucleus, so that's the final nail in the Aphex Twin coffin

Squarepusher on Nucleus will still be cool, though!  And possibly less abrasive haha

[Goer190]

That's an absolutely top class lineup

[Sawdusty surfer]

Loads of brilliant stuff but thev've  even got Kool & The Gang?

 I might even practice throwing some special shapes for that one.  

eFesters more than welcome to join in or just witness my shame/dad dancing/awesomeness

Great line up! Wu Tang, Skindred, Da La Soul, Capdown, Random Hand and the Bronx have made me happy.

As someone who isn't into most dance music there's loads there for me, including Libertines which seems a left field booking for Boomtown. They're one of my favourite bands but must be one of the most mainstream acts they've booked. Just worried that everyone I'd want to see would clash at headliner time

[Traher666]

I keep looking at this and spotting things I haven’t before. I am fucking here for Little Big.

Yeah Libertines are a headscratcher for me, it's not so much that they are mainstream act that I'm finding odd but more they are very indie rock which is something Boomtown doesn't really do despite covering so many genres.

If Underworld, Orbital and Squarepusher are on Nucleus; are they going to be on 'after' the Lions Den/Town Centre headliners? 

Kelis is on Lions Den, saw that posted today.

Good to see Snapped Ankles on there too; another left field choice for Boomtown (on a smaller scale!).
