Boomtown Chapter Five: Radical Redesign represents a bold new era for the UK’s most ambitious immersive festival. Located in the rolling hills of the Matterley Estate, this five-day event transforms the Hampshire countryside into a sprawling, living metropolis. The 2026 edition, themed 'Radical Redesign,' introduces a completely overhauled city layout, emphasizing sustainability, community, and interactive storytelling. Citizens are invited to explore themed districts, from the neon-lit streets of Metropolis to the bass-heavy depths of the Hidden Woods.

The musical programming for 2026 is a diverse tapestry of underground culture and global icons. Key highlights include:

• Electronic & Bass Giants: High-octane sets from Skrillex, Four Tet, and the return of drum and bass legends Shy FX and Wilkinson.
• Live Performances: A rare festival appearance by the Scissor Sisters, the politically charged energy of Kneecap, and the legendary ska sounds of Madness.
• Hard-Hitting Beats: The debut of German happy hardcore pioneers Scooter and the relentless techno of 999999999.

Beyond the stages, Boomtown is a world-class theatrical experience. Hundreds of actors bring the city's narrative to life, encouraging attendees to participate in the 'State of Emergence.' With the return of the iconic Lion's Den stage and the expansion of the hydrogen-powered Hydro XL, Boomtown 2026 is set to be a groundbreaking celebration of music and art.
