early bird ticket details for Boomtown Fair

Tickets go on sale at noon tomorrow for Boomtown Fair the 10,000 capacity music, arts and family festival that takes place at a secret location, less than 1 hour from London over the weekend of Thursday 11th until Sunday 14th August 2011.

Now in its fifth year the festival will offer an array of music, theatre, comedy and art. Last year's event sold out, and today at limited amount of Super Early Bird tickets are available price at £63.

Boomtown Fair has an ongoing theme running through the event each year. The legend of Boomtown tells it was once a small but prosperous retreat now changed into a land of lawless rebels, with only the town official’s to uphold its former glory. 2011 sees the Boomtown story expand with new areas including include May-fair Avenue, Old Town and Bassline Circus, plus bigger buildings, bigger bands and an even louder sound.

May-fair Avenue will be a more elegant part of town, along its winding streets run deluxe casinos, an eclectic array of luxurious restaurants offering diverse cuisine, suave gentlemen's clubs which turn a little debauched as the nights stretch on and bespoke shopping for the slightly heavier of wallet.

Old Town has never before been opened to the public as the buildings are ancient and decaying... In the more habitable buildings, the town officials have set up old school bars and disco's playing music from the 1950's onwards with, traditional themed cafés and bingo venues.

This year the festival also welcomes Bassline Circus, bringing heavy electro, bassline grime and dubstep integrated with death defying circus performances.

This year also sees Boomtown open for the first time opening its gates on a Thursday for festival goers to get their Boomtown bearings whilst enjoying a light sprinkling of musical entertainment in a selection of the smaller venues on the outskirts of the town.

Confirmed as returning to Boomtown is the Invisible Circus, the circus troupe will be taking to the streets of Old Town with street performances, new sideshows and death defying acrobatics. Also on board for 2011 are the Mutiod Waste Company who will be covering the site with their warped vehicles and scrap metal sculptures.

Tickets go on sale at noon tomorrow, Tuesday 1st February. An adult super early bird weekend ticket is priced at £68 (full price £93).
