Boomtown Fair UK adds new District called ‘Relic’

Enter a world of creativity and freedom… Boomtown fuses boundary pushing theatre and arts with a global, genre spanning musical bill!

Welcome to the all new, RELIC, the latest of 12 individual district releases and immerse yourself in one of the soundtracks to the city…

Relic has risen from the ashes of the former headquarters of Boomtown’s fictional Bang Hai Corporation; where technology and nature intertwine to breath a whole new lease of life into an iconic stage. Electrical bolts and free flowing data fuse to feed the giant flora to the backdrop of thunderous beats of a heavyweight line-up spanning decades and subgenres of drum & bass and bass across three days.

He is joined by drum and bass supergroup, BAD COMPANY UK, who are making their Boomtown debut They follow another debut from liquid legend HIGH CONTRAST, Austrian visionary MEFJUS with MAKSIM MC, prolific producer BREAK with MC GQ, the interesting pairing of LENZMAN B2B LSB featuring DRS on the mic, NEED FOR MIRRORS and dark and gritty sounds from Bristol producer KYRIST.

Boomtown favourites MY NU LENG return for the Sunday night closing set and promise to take everyone on a very special bass heavy, eclectic musical retrospective of their influences and career so far.
