Returning to the hills of Matterley Estate, Boomtown are gearing up for another unforgettable edition in 2026.

Taking place 12-16 August, the line-up is off to an exciting start as organisers announce the first wave of artists that will join the celebration next year.

Diversifying the musical experience that Boomtown offers, artists such as Skrillex, Faithless, Four Tet, Marlon Hoffstadt and Scooter will make an appearance during the ‘Radical Design’ edition.

While the event keeps expanding its musical offerings, festival co-founder Luke Mitchell mentions that bass music will always remain a priority within the Boomtown organising team.

Some bass names that have dropped with the first wave of artists include Notion, Wilkinson and Shy FX.

Along with this, special performances set to take place at the ‘Radical Design’ edition feature Kilimanjaro B2B Oppidan and various A/V sets from the likes of 999999999, SHERELLE and Floating Points.

Adding to the line-up’s variety, non-electronic artists such as Vengaboys and Eve will stop by Boomtown for the first time ever.

Shaggy will also be returning to the festival after 12 years since his last performance there.

Boomtown 2026 is shaping up to be the festival’s most diverse edition yet.

Luke Mitchell says: “Expect more live bands and more cross-genre adventures. That’s where Boomtown began, and it’s what keeps us on the truest path forward.”
