This penultimate district announcement gets deep into the roots, reggae, dub, dancehall and jungle of TrenchTown’s 40ft high Lion’s Den temple, Sound System culture of Tangled Roots woodland clearing and the beach party vibes of the Hidden Woods, which will all be welcoming one of the biggest reggae line-ups ever to be seen on these shores!!

“It blows our minds that we are able to bring this kind of reggae line-up to the UK and our BoomTown citizens! Starting out as a small ska and reggae festival we could never have dreamt that we’d be in a position to be able to have this kind of line-up, let alone representing just one of our eight areas!! We just can’t wait for the summer to come and welcome back all our citizens with some of the very best reggae acts in the world!” Lak Mitchell – Co-Founder and Creative Director

Most of the acts for all eight districts have now been announced and cover the uniquely BoomTown mix of reggae, folk, dub, psy-trance, world, drum and bass, Balkan, gypsy-punk and loads more!!
