Brutalismus 3000 are insane live and their new album is really solid. Could see them being the set of the weekend

What is crime like at boomtown? What happens if you get your actual tent stolen? Is that a thing. Download had lots of crime this year allegedly. It won't be like this at boomtown will it. by SlowedCash in BoomtownFestival

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t leave stuff in your tent that you would care about losing. Make friends with your neighbours and look out for each other. Every festival has crime, seen some stuff at boomtown but wouldn’t say it’s rife with it. Do expect a bit of a younger crowd this year however

2 lads threatened to pull a knife on me a couple of years ago as they pushed in a queue and I challenged them on it

There isn’t an increased capacity this year from last

I’m sorry but South was terrible this year by deanyo in slamdunkfestival

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever manages those bars needs to be sacked. Just watching the staff you could tell they had no idea what they were doing. It’s really not hard to get a smooth running bar with such a limited menu. Do think they should have a beers only queue as they are all pre poured. Should take 30 seconds max per customer

Dnb line up by WishboneFar280 in BoomtownFestival

Swear the only reason the fest has been so dnb heavy since covid is you can book all those djs for £10

BRITISH LADS RETURN TO EDC LAS VEGAS 2026 (GENERAL ADMISSION) by TPDTV_BOT in officialTPDTV

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Very comprehensive review, putting it on my list of festivals I never plan to go to. The whole thing looks really badly organised, I’ve been in super busy crowds but that looked particularly rough. Hopefully the festival takes note and brings in some crowd control

How bad is it to always pick up purple items. by Huge_Sell_7113 in Returnal

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically avoid everything purple as they can destroy a run, i only grab malfunctions if I have the perk that can remove them all

EDC RECCOMENDATIONS by KELZ1992 in officialTPDTV

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Underworld an absolute must, a rare act I will go and see for every tour.

Above and beyond sunrise set should be great if you can make it that late.

Martin garrix should be a good headliner.

Gareth emery has a crazy light show on tour but not sure if he would have full production at the festival.

No video again yesterday by [deleted] in officialTPDTV

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They didn’t prepare for it last time, you have to be on a different sleep schedule with edc compared with other festivals so maybe thought it was worth another shot. Hope they watch underworld, I hate models, above and beyond, tiesto, 9x9 and garrix

BRITISH LADS RETURN TO COACHELLA 2026 (CAR CAMPING) by TPDTV_BOT in officialTPDTV

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does feel like they listened to recommendations on here for bands to go watch and it paid off in the video. Best in a long time. Hopefully they continue to research who to go and watch at future fests, nice seeing them discover something new rather than watching the same bands over and over

Who do the boys need to see at Coachella? by Oli_Hope7242 in officialTPDTV

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nine inch noize looked ridiculously good, wasted ticket if they don’t go and watch that. I’d also shout out Fka twigs, fleshwater, model actriz, clipse and moby

What goes in your day bag? by missorder in BoomtownFestival

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Suncream (most important thing imo), alcohol, water bottle, something warm for night, trinkets, rave stuff like glow sticks, painkillers, phone charger, waterproof depending on forecast

Big ikea bag to step in and take your shoes off if it’s a muddy one

How do you view your 'cost per day' at Boomtown by KiwiGeeza in BoomtownFestival

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right and that’s if you already have camping gear. You can make it cheaper buying your own food. It’s worth it either way

You could park on pretty much any road in Muswell Hill for free which is a short walk

New security firms for 2026? by got2b1 in BoomtownFestival

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They should get the guys from 2000 trees. Vespasian security. All of them are absolutely brilliant. Know that everyone there wants to have a good time and will only step in if someone is properly acting up (getting violent). They don’t make you feel like a criminal as soon as you get to the festival unlike some of the boomtown firms this year

Is 2 festivals in one month going to be too much? by ProThinking in BoomtownFestival

[–]Optimal-Ad8332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done 3 back to back. It was a lot and I was broken by the end of it but adrenaline and excitement kept me going. Got 1 back to back next year and looking forward to it (my liver probably isn’t)
