Step back in time to Copper County! As part of the festival’s immersive overarching storyline, Copper County is set in the year 1905 where a new age of industry brings with it soot and grime but also skyscrapers and finery. The home for folk, acoustic and world music, where sounds of banjos and basslines continue to resonate throughout.
One of the 8 new main stages for 2019 sees the introduction of The Forge, an icon of the industrial revolution… or the birth of the curse… presenting a global fusion of folk and traditional music. Topping the bill is soulful
Just one of Boomtown’s 12 themed districts, the festival’s varied headline bill that includes Lauryn Hill, Prophets Of Rage, The Streets, Chronixx, Chase & Status Presents Rtrn II Jungle, Groove Armada, Slaves, UB40 aka Ali Campbell and Astro, Salt-n-Pepa, Gogol Bordello and many more
Elsewhere in the district is Foggers Mill the one stop shop for intimate, foot stomping sets of bluegrass, folk and Americana all day long. Featuring Neck, Graveyard Johnnys, Pronghorn, Funke & The Two Tone Baby and more. Flying Moustache is one of the festival’s most surprising and diverse
