About this festival
In August 2027, Matterley Estate near Winchester in southern England becomes the festival city of Boomtown. From 11 to 15 August, the major open-air festival opens its gates, creating its own universe of themed city districts, stages and immersive production. Its programme spans bass-heavy and electronic sounds including Drum and Bass, House and Techno, alongside Reggae and other genres, making it one of the most extensive offerings in the UK. The festival city is built across the green hills of a working farm in the South Downs National Park and welcomes guests aged 18 and over.
Camping is a central part of the experience. Alongside classic tent areas, there are more comfortable options, spaces for motorhomes and caravans, and a new exclusive camping area for the 2027 edition. A shuttle bus links Winchester railway station with the site. The line-up for the 2027 edition will be announced gradually through the official channels, and tickets are already on sale.
