As title says. Just curious, seeing as a few of my mates are planning on waiting till May/June time. I know boomtown has been increasing in popularity these last few years, so just curious as to whether sell out will occur earlier than previous years.
Guess we'll have to wait another year to see them make up for missing 23
its my first time going to boomtown next year, ill be 18 and going solo, got camping in orchid. if anyones got any advice or wants to meet lmk :) im getting there on the wednesday by coach
Everyone who has boomtown has probably at some point came across the Ragga Twins, turns out 'deman rocka' has had a fall and been left bedbound, there's a justgiving page been set up to help him out with recovery also a link to a massive night in London to raise money for him, thought it was worth a share here since they are such a intregal part to boomtown over the years.
Hey everyone, I'm thinking about going to boomtown for the first time this year. I've been to Glastonbury a few times hut have been unlucky woth ticket this year ( much like lots of other people imsbure) I was wodneringnif boomtown is a friendly/ kind vibe as Glastonbury ??
Accept it , you were too slow.
Hey so I’m thinking of going to Boomtown next year for the first time after having done Defqon and Tomorrowland as I love those kind of festivals with a story and music combined but I’d like to ask if the deposit scheme is still in place where you pay x amount per month instead of paying it off in one go?
I bought my tickets for 2024 in February, well, started paying for them and that was fine. Next year is my second boomtown and I'm a bit weary as when to start paying as I dont have the money right now, would it be safe to start paying around February again or will there still be plenty of tickets? my brothers convinced he's seen something saying all of the tickets are going quickly but I'm pretty sure that just means for the current phase or whatever? thank you
Ill be 19 going boomtown for the first time and have heard about solo camping group chats but cant actually find any? Hoping i can find at least someone to camp with to feel a little safer😅
i have recently bought a fake id and have been meaning to use it to get into boomtown, all my friends are going to be 18 but i’ll still be 17. it’s a pretty decent fake with holograms etc but ive heard that i dont have a chance with it because they use scanners etc. i dont know many people who have gone to the festival before to ask so could someone tell me how much of a chance ive got before i buy a ticket, really dont wanna waste my money :) thanks
Is there no after movie this year? I use to love watching it every year and bit sad there hasn’t been one at all :( Anyone know why if they aren’t going to do one?

It won’t go on Peace Love & Solidarity 🏳️🌈⚧️🏳️🌈
just bought a ticket, acidentally put a shorterned version of my name (will/william) but noticed it had to match thr name on my ID, will this be a problem? is there any way i can change the name on the ticket
Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone have any recommendations on decent backpacks or whatever to carry our tent and stuff? We’re getting the coach, otherwise I would’ve bought one of those trolleys I’ve seen so many people use. Thanks ☺️
Hi i’m looking for advice i bought my ticket on a payment plan as soon as they were realised, ive paid about 3 months already however ive recently gone completely sober from substances. i do not think boomtown is going to be a healthy place for me to be, to stay sober. i also do not think im in the correct mental state to do boomtown sober with friends who would be taking things etc i think it would make me very paranoid and really challenge me mentally. should i continue paying off my ticket and then try find someone to buy it, or just miss my direct debit and let it be cancelled and accept the money loss. it is a public transport ticket? there is no option to cancel it, only in regards to miss payments and no where to refund? could i change the name on my plan and let someone else take over? i’ve never bought or the payment plan before and really need advice on what to do please 🙏😇
This/Last year (Chapter 3) i've seen so so so many trolleys that were broken, metal ones too lol, just though i'd share to you guys my experiences with the MoverX 200L Festival Cart. Personally i'd say buy it, it will last, especially if you're walking down the east bate rocky road, thats a killer for trolleys, for around £70 - £90 you can pick up a good one like this.
Trolley held up well, still in good-as-new condition even after the festival, i could fit a 4-man tent, 2 gym bags, 2 backpacks and the small bits such as drinks or whatever else you may need, still maneuverer's like a feather
this isn't a sales pitch, just seen so many people walk back to cars with no trolley and a van-full worth of stuff lmao, also, what do you guys recommend for other camping needs?
Who went to Boomtown X Elrow and Drumsheds and what did you think?? I was not impressed at the lineup but had a really good time anyways! First time at Drumsheds as well, I loved the venue!
I'm going solo next year it's going to be my first festival as I'll be turning 18 a few months before so haven't been able to do stuff like that yet. is there anything I should know to be prepared for it and is anyone else going solo
Gonna be making the trip over for boom next year 🥳
Do tickets normally sell out? If so is it easy to get them off whatever resell platform you guys use. Will probably be grabbing my ticket soon anyway but just wanted to have a sus.
Also wanted to know when the lineup drops? I’ve heard it’s pretty close to the actual date (sick idea).
Last thing; if any other Aussies have made the trip over, give me some tips (pls x) for like flights/accom/getting shit.
Anyway can’t wait to get weird with you sick cunts 🛠️
Why are tickets selling out so fast this year when I got my ticket last year it was January and there were still Wednesday tickets
So they had Bob Hopkins last year doing a talk.
Anyone recon there is an outside chance Tolle will be there spreading some power of now.
I just saw boomtown do a post around their new website where it states 8 districts 2025 Was this always the case or is this an increase ?
