Boomtown 2013 8th-11th August

[Onket]

Couple of years ago meaning when it was at the posh school? It's certainly double if not trebled in size since.

More people buying tickets ian't justification for a price increase, tbf.

No, but the sheer size increase of the town areas I think does. You could walk round the entire town area in about 7 or 8 mins 2 years ago, every time I needed a shit I went back to the bogs near my tent (and I shit a lot), there's no way I could have done that last year, it's the difference between a 3 min walk and a 15-20 min walk.

We can't go, but will BF be changing location this year?

The mahoosive spider is back again - it's only at Glasto and Boomtown this year.

The only other place to catch the full Arcadia Spectacular show for summer 2013 will be at BoomTown Fair (8th – 11th August 2013). Having landed with a mighty ’boom’ in 2012, The Arcadia Spider took the craziness of BoomTown into another stratosphere! For BoomTown 2013, the Arcadia beast will once again be on the move, stomping its way through the winding streets of BoomTown and landing in the heart of DownTown! Arcadia will have even more space to do what it does best and set BoomTown’s night-crawling underbelly a light with heart thumping bass and electrifying entertainment! Tickets are available for BoomTown via: www.theticketsellers.co.uk/buy_tickets_old/events/?id=10023712&wlid=3945

I bet it takes about a month to put it up.

 

[Yetman]

YESSS!! The spider

It's a week after Secret Garden though, which I'm also going to...

That's gonna be a heavy 10 days I can see it coming!

[sim667]

bet it doesn't

Couple a weeks?

Its not a one man and an electric drill in an afternoon job is it?

They'll have to dig some kind of foundation under the feet, and then crane all the parts into place.

My plan is to fly to spain the tuesday after SGP for a week and fly back on the tuesday before boomtown. Easily do-able

TBH I would be more likely to pay to go if there was a venue change but I don't think they are, no.

That dust is a killer for asthmatics.

Couple of weeks sounds about right from what I remember at Glasto, but paolo999 would know more exactly about this. Will ask him ...

big up Deadsilence and the Astroid Boys however

 

[Firky]

I quite fancy it but I don't know if I fancy doing a festival more or less sober.1

 

[William of Walworth]

Are you making it to the Boomtown Equinox bash in Bris next Friday (22nd April) next week though ddraig?

Others? Not long now for that early taster! Looking forward to seeing a few Urban people there ...

(it'll be grand for those who can't make the festie itself, also )

 

[ddraig]

no! thought about it for too long and didn't get a ticket in time
miffed

 

[Teaboy]

Sorry if this keeps getting asked but what is this ecobond thingy? How does it work? The website doesnt give much info apart from a 404 page.

 

[ddraig]

basically a 'green' charge
take a full recycling bag back and get it refunded
or if you can be arsed going around filling bags with empty beer cups you can get it that way
