Further acts have been announced for this year's Boomtown Fair.
Among the new additions are DJ EZ, SBTRKT, Folamour, Kae Tempest, Hak Baker, KiLLOWEN, Songer, Peaches, Beardyman, Lynks, Henge Rose Gray, and Panic Shack.

The festival will take over Matterley Estate near Winchester, Hampshire in August, with Kneecap, Scissor Sisters, Madness, Skrillex, Four Tet, Faithless, Scooter, Shaggy, Ashnikko and Eve leading the line-up.
In addition to its diverse line-up, this year's Boomtown will feature significant changes to the festival's site, expanding with what organisers are calling a Chapter 5: Radical Redesign. The Lion's Den Stage will return to Temple Valley, Hilltop reclaims its creative hub role, and the Hydro Stage doubles in size as Hydro XL, pushing green innovation and production design further. Organisers also promise the redesign will give festival-goers "more space to breathe."
The 2026 festival will be built around the Radical Redesign theme, influencing every part of the event, reflecting the expansion and evolution of the festival site and encouraging people to rethink how we live, connect, and create. Boomtown’s Creative Director Mair Morel said:
"Radical Redesign is more than a storyline, it is an invitation to rethink how we live, connect and create. In a world of accelerating progress but deepening division, Boomtown offers a different model, one rooted in reconnection, community and collective joy. Radical Redesign asks what needs rebuilding from the ground up, what wisdom from old ways of living is worth revisiting again, and how balance can be restored between people, nature and our shared purpose."
Last year's festival, dubbed Chapter 4: Power Of Now, featured sets from Sean Paul, Sex Pistols with Frank Carter, Maribou State, Overmono, Hybrid Minds, Nia Archives, Rudimental, The Mary Wallopers, Fat Dog, and more.
