At the forefront of Boomtown’s immersive and theatrical festival is live music and this year as Boomtown reveals the line-up for one of its founding stages located at the very centre of the fictitious city, Town Centre, is providing 60,000 festival goers that visit the Winchester based event with an experience not to be missed. Live music genres from across the festival are pulled together across a multitude of awe-inspiring acts on this eclectic stage.
Topping the bill for Chapter 10 this August are; rap-rockers Limp Bizkit bringing body throwing nostalgia to the forefront of the stage, Enter Shikari’s post-hardcore experimental rock and the anti-austerity punk of Nottingham hailing duo Sleaford Mills whose music seamlessly mirrors the festivals own immersive storyline and political ethos.
