Boomtown Fair is one of the UK’s most unique music festivals. Held at Matterley Estate in Hampshire, Boomtown is split into several different districts with a different theme, telling part of a story.

Each year the festival is given a new “chapter” in order to suggest a continuous narrative across the event. The aforementioned districts home a large number of actors who play out the lives of the district’s “inhabitants.”

Alongside being a fairy-tale wonderland for adults who do far too many hallucinogenics, Boomtown also tends to put on a Hell of a show line-up wise. Since 2009, Boomtown has been hosting huge acts in the hip-hop, EDM, rave and alternative genres. Such acts have included Prophets of Rage, Die Antwoord, Enter Shikari, Gorrilaz, Limp Bizkit and Gogol Bordello.

The main draw of Boomtown is undoubtedly its insanely detailed and scenic atmosphere. Combined along with the superb acts and multitude of well-equipped stages, this is one of the greatest places on earth to witness live music. It really is an experience like no other.

Just remember to use the buddy system, drink plenty of water, and not to trust the neon bunny rabbit who wants to take you on an adventure.
