Boomtown Fair is – by a country mile – my favourite UK festival – and tickets have just gone on sale for ‘Chapter 8,’ with the 2016 festival being themed as ‘The Revolution Starts Now.’
With the nights drawing in, it’s hard to be thinking ahead to next summer, but with tickets normally flying off the shelves (and the prices going up as the festival grows closer) it might worth reserving your tickets now.
Tickets are available from eventbrite, and are are split into different tier brackets with the aim of making it as affordable for as many as possible:
Tier One – £135*
Tier Two – £150*
Tier Three – £170*
(*plus Booking Fee & Eco Bond)
The event will take place at the Matterley Estate, Nr. Winchester again, between 11th – 14th August, 2016. The line up is yet to be announced.
