\"Boomtown<\/p>\n

BoomTown Fair\u00a0is my favourite festival by a country mile, and already the line up for 2016 is serving up a tempting selection of artists.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Boomtown<\/p>\n

Already announced for the four\u00a0day festival taking place from the 11th-14th August this year are\u00a0ska legends Madness, reggae royalty Damian Marley and NZ dubsters Fat Freddy’s Drop.<\/p>\n

Tickets are already selling fast for this unique festival which mixes music and performance against a\u00a0theatrical narrative of revolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Taking place in the Matterley estate near Winchester, there will be nine individually themed city districts, with the attention to detail\u00a0reflecting the commitment and passion of the crew behind the festival.<\/p>\n

\"Faces<\/p>\n

The wild\u00a0Barrio Loco Latin district will be in full-on carnival mode\u00a0while the astonishing\u00a0Bang Hai Palace on its frontline, DSTRKT 5, will be keeping the dance beats going, with the line up including\u00a0Roni Size and DJ Krust.<\/p>\n

The Psychedelic Forest returns with a line-up including\u00a0Gaudi, Neelix, Shpongle, Skazi and Hallucinogen throwing down\u00a0the finest in psychedelic trance, techno, breakbeat and ambient.<\/p>\n
