Boomtown Line-up 2023 – News and Rumours

Speculation about this years Boomtown line-up is starting to heat up. The festival have decided to keep the line-up a secret until just one week before the festival.

But with everyone keen to know who might be appearing this year, the thirst for line-up news and rumours has never been greater. You’re in luck, as with the help of the Boomtown Subreddit and Boomtown Chat Facebook, we’ve rounded up all the latest rumours for this years festival.

Boomtown Lineup

Why is the Boomtown Line-Up being kept secret?

There are two reasons, in the view of Boomtown Source, why it’s an advantage to keep the line-up a secret:

  1. The ability to book acts which have exclusive deals with other “corporate” festivals. These deals often stop independent festivals like Boomtown from announcing them on a poster. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be booked secretly.
  2. Because discovering new music is half the fun of Boomtown. The festival is about more than just acts on a poster. It’s good to know the big acts we all love will still be there. And from what we’ve heard so far, no-one will be disappointed on that front.

Boomtown 2023

It’s all gone a bit quiet here at Boomtown Source.

Running this site the past few years was a lot of fun. But it’s also quite a lot of work to keep it going, and I’ve needed to focus on some other things in my life.

I’m still around though. You can normally find me taking part in the chat on the Boomtown Subreddit, the community I’ve also been running for a few years now.

Thanks for all your support these past few years. Boomtown, the festival, the fans, you are all amazing. Hope to see you all at Boomtown 2023.

The amount of you coming to visit me here last year was unbelievable. I’m just some random guy who made a little website about a festival I love.

Top 5 visited pages, past 12 months

Thanks 🙂
