The massive and eclectic Boomtown Festival has taken the decision to postpone until 2021. Chapter 12 will now have to sadly wait another twelve months.
The Festival announced it’s intentions earlier today in a post across its social media platforms.
“Dear Boomtown family and friends,
We hope everyone is doing as well as humanly possible right now, sending so much love and solidarity to everyone, wherever in the world you may be.
We are deeply saddened to make the announcement that we are no longer proceeding with Boomtown 2020, and the next chapter will take place on 11-15th August 2021.
Over the past few months we have been keeping a close eye on expert advice from across the globe, as well as taking into consideration the timelines involved for safely planning and delivering the event. In addition, we’ve recently held close consultation with local agencies, and emergency services, to further understand the knock on effect of the current pressures on these vital services. This has led us to the decision that Boomtown 2020 will no longer go ahead.
We know that all those who attend Boomtown, whether working, performing or exploring, will be equally devastated by this, and for this, we are truly sorry, but we hope everyone will understand that this decision was made with the safety of everyone at the forefront of our minds.”

There is still no news on Guns ‘N’ Roses or the Reading & Leeds festivals but it can surely only be a matter of time.
