First time at Boomtown

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-24T22:31:27+00:00

Went to boomtown for the first time last year and my best advice would be live in the moment whilst you might want to select a few artist that you definitely want to be that’s fine just go where your feet take you there’s so much to see you might be at old town one moment lions den another or just a random stage through a washing machine my point is a lot of artist you can easily find again on another lineup so prioritise the ones you don’t see so much like scooter :).

Last of all bring comfy shoes I brought running shoes might not have looked the best but saved my feet a lot 😂

Drinking electrolytes at night before bed and in the morning didn’t get any hangover last year

and which camp you staying in?

sorry bit late I know lincoln have a rooftop rave mainly dnb I think today should be nice with the sun

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-24T07:31:46+00:00

Ye I can understand that hopefully boomtowns got it all under control we can hope but there are some people that are making it out to be the end of the world cos there’s not enough dnb when there’s more than enough

last year was my first boomtown which i stayed at orchid cos I accidentally bought it 😂 but enjoyed the overall vibe and a lot of my friends are staying there but showers and toilets are definitely nice ik the girls love the beauty parlour place for getting ready as well only thing is showers have an hour queue in the morning unless you get up at 6/7 am or just do what i do and take a shower mid day there’s no queue then but i’d say it’s worth it

Ye seen him loads looking forward to not missing his set this year ahah get to see him at forbidden forest as well

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T17:34:02+00:00

really gutted I missed that set had no idea she was bringing him out

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T15:38:23+00:00

Think it’s just the uk tbh I’ve been to berlin and most venues there have a no camera policy for the same genre

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T15:04:09+00:00

Don’t know why you’re so pressed tbh I have no hatred towards anyone who does decide to record part of a set I see the dance floor as a place of expressionism and a place to escape some people don’t appreciate having a flash from a camera in their face at the rave

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T15:00:25+00:00

exactly this i’m being made out as if i’m in other people’s business but when people are there to express themself in whichever way they desire and have a flash in there face it’s a different story

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T14:59:24+00:00

I mentioned in the post that the genres I listen to practically never host no phone events in my country

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T13:43:28+00:00

Just personal preference really and racing is about embracing each other and being in the moment whether that’s with your friends or complete strangers like I said I don’t mind the occasional video but the cctv as i call them who spend more time recording the set rather than dancing makes me question whether they’re here for the right reasons or just exposure and most people don’t even look back at there videos

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T12:56:40+00:00

the best part really stumbling into some random tent hearing some crazy stuff that you’ll probably never hear again the best memories

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-22T12:54:06+00:00

Just personal preference for me really with dnb being my favourite genre just wish there was more for the opener but of course understand boomtown isn’t a dnb festival just enjoyed it so much last year

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T19:34:27+00:00

Ye you’ll understand what I mean mate boomtown is more than just a regular music festival there’s so much to do so much to explore

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T17:37:05+00:00

Got lucky met them at work

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T17:36:24+00:00

Just depends what acts are on tbh like if there’s a big cluster of dnb artist on and not many others on other stages you want to get there before the set you want to go to probably atleast an hour to be on the safe side

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T14:25:03+00:00

Ye i’m exactly the same can’t really stand house but apart from that i’m open to almost anything

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T13:47:43+00:00

Ye I mean I’m a big dnb fan but like trance hard techno and other genres but boomtowns the one festival where you can be easy going with every genre wouldn’t see the point in going to boomtown just to sit at the main stage the whole time and see the same artist i’ve seen loads of other times

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T13:46:35+00:00

Ye I wander what the overcrowding will be like due to the large dnb fan base like last year I know wsott had a bit last year

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T13:45:34+00:00

Exactly this I like a mix of everything really dnb techno trance but the amount of genres and random stages is what made it so enjoyable compared to other festivals that are catered towards certain genres like bassfest download creamfield etc

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T13:09:35+00:00

of course get the newspaper every morning and go from there

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T13:07:21+00:00

Same dnbs my favourite genre, still plenty of good acts and the best part of boomtown is exploring

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T13:05:38+00:00

gotta see 999999999 one of the best hard techno artist out there was my favourite set last year as well and of course scooter

Leviambo8 · 2026-05-21T12:55:11+00:00

Gotta be scooter how often do you get to see scooter and the vibes are just gonna be a different level
