14 Aug - BoomTown Fair
BoomTown 2010 is to be held in the stunning grounds of a secret estate in central England, Central England, - Adult full Weekend Tickets £58.00~ Age 13 to 15 Child £30~ Under 13 £free~ Campervan £30
Welcome to BooooOmTowN! A once small but prosperous retreat where families and couples alike would flock. Over the years though this ideal seclusion famed for its festivities became a faded spot on the map and people began to forget about Boomtown. The inevitable isolation which followed catalysed a divide between the townspeople; lawless rebels promoted disdain and debauchery whilst the town officials tried to retain Boomtowns former glory. Boomtown Fair is back on the horizon and both factions are locked in a perpetual power struggle for control of the festival and ultimately Boomtown itself. In an effort to outdo the opposition and rejuvenate Boomtowns life-blood the law-abiding citizens, still in control of Boomtowns central promenade, have made the main stage its focal point for the festival. This electric atmosphere comprises some of the best jump-up ska / party bands from around the globe making for a truly unmissable experience. On the flipside however, the regime of anarchists run amuck in the streets of Downtown Boomtown and they have their own agenda for its annual fair. Using various bars, shops, and even a laundrette as venues, they boast a vast variety of live music stages specialising in cabaret, gypsy, folk, country and Weston, reggae, and dub. Providing music which caters to all musical tastes, the streets of Downtown Boomtown promise to be a wild and exhilarating adventure. Add into the mix a whole array of fine music, theatre, comedy, masses of site art, and many areas to explore with plenty of catering options. You’ll find all the normal facilities you’d expect at a festival with a massive emphasis on eco-friendly initiatives. Promises to be quite good.
