Boomtown 2016

I'd come and see her.

I've been looking out for her stuff though, and I really liked her on that reggae sound with Mungos hifi, but it doesn't sound like she's recorded much stuff like that. What was her solo act like?

God, she had so much sass.

It was her and two backing singers and it was kind of cabaret-ish drum and bass. She had a ton of charisma and energy. Loved it.

Bloody hell:

Jesus H Christ, some of the band requests on the event page for next year

Kasabian and pendulum for next year please

Where was the pop-punk stage!? Boomtown was seriously lacking some Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy etc and this will be a deal breaker for me next year.

e2a: However at the same time, some of the responses are pretty funny

There is only one George the Horse!

You know you are at a good gig if George is there

I can't remember the last time I was at a gig & George wasn't there!

'I returned to the music festival where my daughter died after taking ketamine'

Speaker’s Corner, a new attraction after the tragic death, focuses on ‘drug awareness and human consciousness’.

Billed as ‘a place for serious discussion and provocative thought’, the space hosted hard hitting speeches and lively debate on a range of social issues including drug awareness, racial inequality and sexual assault.

Wendy, from Glastonbury, spoke to Metro.co.uk about what it was like to go back to the place where her world was ripped apart and what she learnt from the experience.

Fair play to the mother, must be hard. Its brave and very reasonable to see her pragmatic approach to Boomtown, and to nice to see that Boomtown care, rather than brushing it under the carpet (not that i think they would anyway)

She was bloody amazing in the Park Hotel too. A real performer. I'd love to book her for one of my nights.

Eva Lazarus is currently crowdfunding to record her first EP btw

Help Eva Lazarus make her first solo EP

If you fund her to the tune of £500 she'll do a solo acoustic show, to the tune of £1k it looks like she'll do a full show.

Teenager was found dead at BoomTown after taking ket, coke, M-cat, LSD, and Es

The Coroner

He said: ‘Olivia was found dead some time around 11.15am. I find that Olivia died due to poisoning by MDMA and Etizolam, the two drugs that were of high levels.

RIP..... Too young for all that shit.

Not the headlines Boomtown wants or needs. Security and Police will probably now be even stricter next year, which is a shame as i felt they relaxed a bit this year.

It appears this unfortunate girl was smashing it too much too young. I remember going to festivals at 18 and not doing a great deal more than a few pills and some k, rather than a list as extensive in this case. No doubt the heat/dehydration contributed.

Feel very sorry for her friends and family.
