Boomtown Fair

With preparation fully underway the Boomtown committee would like to ask fans of the festival who they would like to perform in 2012, with their favourite idea being chosen to headline the Town Centre stage.

Whoever picks the winning favourite artist will win a pair of residency passes to the town and also the opportunity to meet the artist backstage and have a photo taken for posterity!

To enter visit Boomtown Comp and enter your three headliner choices (one per box) and watch out for the big announcement on February 1st, if you chose that artist watch out for a message in your inbox!

Taking place from 9 - 12th August 2012 Boomtown Fair is unlike any other festival, the legend of Boomtown tells it was once a small but prosperous retreat now changed into a land of lawless rebels, with only the town official’s to uphold its former glory. The Boomtown Streets are filled with great choice of food and drink, bands, and great entertainment to suit all tastes!
