Boomtown 2024

A lot of people are asking me “Where is Boomtown Source?”. I’m just a bit busy this year, and updating a blog takes a lot of time. Also, blogs are a bit 2000s anyway.

I am actively posting on the Boomtown Subreddit where you should definitely come and join. It feels much better for me to chat directly with the Boomtown community on Reddit, instead of here on the blog.

Boomtown 2024

Below are some highlight posts from Reddit which will give you the information you need. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section of these Reddit posts, or just come and chat with us.

Please also remember that Boomtown provide very detailed information about everything you might need to know about the festival. It’s well worth reading if you have questions.

Hope to see you on the Subreddit! And of course, down in the bowl dancing at Boomtown 2024.

How did we do?

At Boomtown Source, we listed 185 rumoured artists. And so far 121 of those have now been confirmed on the above posters! We still believe many of the others are still coming, but just on some of the smaller unannounced stages.

Spotify Playlists

The legends at Boomtown Chat have made a Spotify Playlist based on all the confirmed acts for Boomtown 2023 so far. You can also find stage specific playlists below.

Stage by stage Spotify playlists:

Prodigy/Fatboy Slim…Still Possible?

These acts were strongly hinted by Boomtown in promotion material, but did not appear in the main announcements. Therefore the chance of them appearing now seems much lower. But not impossible! There are some theories as to why:

  1. The hints were “red herrings” to throw people off the scent of The Prodigy
  2. The 2 acts hinted have both collaborated with The Prodigy, so actually these could have just supposed to have been Prodigy hints all along
  3. Perhaps these 2 acts are still appearing in some form, perhaps as special guests. Some have suggested both of them could appear during The Prodigy, but scheduling commitments makes this seem difficult.

2 Acts, Order A-Z

  • Fatboy Slim
  • Pendulum
Boomtown Hints
Boomtown have dropped some line-up hints…

Self confirmed / Leaked

All of the below have either self confirmed via socials, or we have received some kind of reliable tip off. There is no guarantee, but we are pretty sure these acts are on the Boomtown 2023 line-up! We haven’t seen them on any of the above posters yet, but we still think they might be there at unannounced micro-venues, or appearing secretly.

17 Acts, Order A-Z

  • Asher Simmons
  • Bubski
  • Bushbby
  • CJ Beatz
  • Jaz (Pirate.com)
  • LVT (Pirate.com)
  • Majestic
  • Matt Acidic
  • Mollie Collins
  • Moonshine Malarkey
  • Mr Switch
  • Popes of Chillitown
  • Riguana
  • Rodney (Pirate.com)
  • Ryan De La Cruz (Pirate.com)
  • Scottish Gabber Punk
  • ZJ (Pirate.com)

Highly Likely

Boomtown Source has reason to believe that the below acts still have a high chance of being at Boomtown 2023. We think you can bank on it, but don’t sue us.

6 Acts, Order A-Z

  • DJ Kara
  • Esme Banks
  • Kings of the Rollers
  • Mia Koden
  • Mozey
  • Vibe Chemistry

Speculation/Rumours

Boomtown Source has seen rumours on some of the below acts, but cannot verify. Many of them have Boomtown shaped gaps in their touring schedules, or are already in the area. But so far they haven’t been announced, so chances are fading. Some of these could easily be booked in smaller venues though, so don’t give up just yet!

23 Acts, Order A-Z

  • A.M.C
  • Afriquoi
  • Baba Yaga
  • Black Midi
  • Black Star
  • Brother Culture
  • Bryan Gee
  • Chat Pile
  • Deki Alem
  • Dr Meaker
  • Everyone You Know
  • Fikir Amlak
  • Hollie Cook
  • Hybrid Minds
  • Janet Kay
  • Josh Gleaves
  • Partyboi69
  • Ragga Twins
  • Redeemon
  • Rua Tui (Thickboy Records)
  • Turnstyle
  • Voodoo Glow Skulls
  • Zen Lewis

Probably not

Given the main lineup has now dropped, these previously rumored acts seem extremely unlikely to appear at Boomtown. Forget about it.

15 Acts, Order A-Z

  • Aphex Twin
  • Carroll Thompson
  • Chemical Brothers
  • David Rodigan
  • Dizzie Rascal
  • Dub Pistols
  • Gentleman’s Dub Club
  • Rage Against The Machine
  • Sean Paul
  • Shy FX
  • Skepta
  • Stormzy
  • The Streets / Mike Skinner
  • Underworld
  • Venbee

Can you help?

Got any tips for us about the line-up? We need your help! Why not join the discussion over on the Boomtown subreddit. Share the knowledge, and help build up the acts on this page. We’ll keep our ears to the ground, and update the above as and when we hear anything.

Thanks to everyone on the Boomtown Subreddit and the Boomtown Chat Facebook, who have helped out with the detective work. We wouldn’t have so many acts to speculate on without these amazing communities, and their sleuthing.
