MATTERLEY ESTATE – WINCHESTER 9TH – 12TH AUGUST 2018 TICKETS ON SALE NOW Boomtownfair.co.uk
Record breaking sales sees Boomtown sell out in four months!
Ahead of the 10th chapter of the UK’s most theatrical and immersive music festival Boomtown Fair, the event has officially sold out of all standard and travel package festival tickets with six months still to go! The 60,000 capacity event held at Matterley Estate nr Winchester over 9th - 12th ties together interactive theatre with an overarching storyline, and a soundtrack boasting one of the most diverse musical line ups on offer.
This record breaking start to Chapter 10 will see the festival go back to its roots with more live acts than ever before. Never satisfied with sticking to the status quo, straddling genres is almost a prerequisite to headline at Boomtown, with this year’s headliners including a one-off UK show from the Gorillaz, Die Antwoord and Limp Bizkit.
Defying expectations with every district announcement, the festival continues to excite and surprise with underground acts from around the globe. These include jazzy Gilles Peterson prodigy Zara Macfarlane, and metal band Soulfly announced along with the festival’s newest punk district, Diss-order Alley last week. Renowned duo Amadou & Mariam will be bringing Mali to the Old Mines of Copper County, Boomtown’s second new district which was announced yesterday
This is just a sprinkling of the sheer volume of acts performing at Boomtown this year with eight unique line-ups still to go, each one reflecting the multi-faceted levels on which Boomtown operates from grassroots music styles to high end theatrical endeavours. See here to scroll through the website’s news stories of all previously released districts.
The festival will be running a resale of unclaimed deposit tickets in June. Anyone looking for a ticket should register here to be the first be informed when they are released. Boomtown will also be launching the brand new Paradise Gardens ‘Hospitality’ package in the next few weeks, as a final way for those yearning to get involved in this year’s celebrations to be a part of the hottest festival in the UK right now. -ENDS-
