BANG GOES NORMAL!💥
A music festival, but not as you know it. It's a city where imagination truly is the only boundary.

Evolving from a small gathering of like-minded friends into a vast pop-up metropolis celebrating a dizzying kaleidoscope of musical and artistic endeavour. Boomtown is one of the worlds most innovative festivals, offering its audience an immersive, theatrically-led experience like no other with hundreds of actors bringing the film-like street sets to life. From mindblowing main stages to enchantin

g street venues, Boomtown's fully themed districts vibrate night and day to a soundtrack exploring everything from ska, folk, gypsy, reggae, world, punk, pirate and disco, via electro-swing, jazz, bluegrass, bass, jungle and techno.

Each year, we build an immersive world inspired by great teachers. This chapter is all about rethinking how we live, reflecting on what’s lost, and rebuilding a meaningful world together.

We wanted to share a reading list of the books and authors that helped shape Chapter Five: Radical Redesign.

The Cloak of Hope is growing and it needs your hands! ❤️

In 2024, hundreds of people stitched their hopes into fabric patches. Together, those patches became a living, collective vision.

But the Cloak is not finished. We are inviting you to stitch your hope into it...
✨ What does your future look like?
✨ What world do you want to wake up in?
✨ What world do you want to leave behind for generations to come?

Create a patch (ideally from recycled materials), between 10x10cm and 15x15cm. Fill in the form on the News section of our website and post it to:
Boomtown Festival, Mailbox 308, QDBC House, 67-83 Norfolk Street, Liverpool, L1 0BG.

Every patch will be documented and sewn onto the Cloak of Hope, which will be featured at Boomtown 2027.

Not ready to make one yet? You will have the chance to stitch yours at Boomtown Chapter Five: Radical Redesign this August. Submission will close mid-September!

🔗 Head to the News section of our website for everything you need.

Today marks Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday ❤️

Sir David Attenborough embodies Boomtown’s Respect the Planet ethos and is one of the many reasons we’re committed to leaving the land we share as we found it, or better. His projects have motivated millions to take action to protect our green spaces like our home, the South Downs National Park.

He’s one of the great guardians and communicators of our time, inspiring generations far and wide by building a legacy of stories and films about our planet that will inspire generations to come.

We’ve pulled together some beautiful images from our world over the years that have been inspired by great teachers like Sir David Attenborough and our love of the natural world.
