Boomtown 2015

Just realising this is the last boomtown I'm likely to be in the UK for (not saying I won't be going next year, but probabilities...), so would actually be cool to meet some peeps

The only concern I am getting is the young/chavvy/idiot crews again, but they are under instruction to get them locked down and off site as quickly as possible - the tolerance for those sort of groups has reduced every week to the point where they are not welcome, do not add anything to an event and are spotted around the site - slightest chance, get shot.

Seriously?

Wow. I am surprised that people are finding it so difficult this year. I know there is a drive to stop the killer-pills coming in though, so it's understandable. I will be talking to mates who are working to see what the inside feels like, but so far they are saying it's coming across as a key event on the calendar - they are looking forward to site going green and punters coming in which is when it comes alive and the town fill up - it's very much driven by the customers here, they make or break it. There are dark areas obviously and some of the more "capable" guys are in there.

There always have, and always will be ratboys- but then they are also at squat parties.

Boomtown is fine once you get in the gate, the stress is just getting in!

Part of the backlash with this is that people don't take their own drugs, from their tried and trusted dealer, instead they buy on site and there lies a whole heap of trouble.

chances are you'll have absolutely no hassle at all going in- ive been twice and didn't even get searched.

but, one of my mates almost went to prison, and a couple of others strip searched. chances of getting fucked over in this respect are probably the highest at Boomtown (and Bestival) out of any other :(

shame cos it is probably the best festival out there

Turned up at Bestival last year after they had fucked off :thumbs:
 
Be careful with your valuables everyone, especially on the Thursday night. Criminal gangs doing a sweep on the first night of a festival is becoming common and Boomtown has been hit before. Make sure your tent is a mess and your valuables are in a very safe place especially when you're asleep.

So did we decide where and when for an urban meetup? If so I missed it! Not been for a couple of years... what's a good landmark bar? Friday 6pm?
