Lak Mitchell, Boomtown Co-founder says
“We're seriously excited about expanding on the heavy live music side of the festival ... The first event I ever put on was a heavy metal gig when I was 16 and have been in various thrash / punk / metal bands ever since, so to represent such an amazing musical culture within the context of Boomtown is insanely exciting and I can’t wait to see where this takes us.”
Boomtown’s multidimensional world, not only provides some of the best in underground and global music but incorporates it with some of the most unexpected and immersive theatre. As part of Boomtown’s ever evolving storyline Diss-order Alley is themed around a military base that has been abandoned and overtaken by an autonomous community of punks. Attendees are encouraged to embrace their inner characters and immerse themselves in the intricately designed venues populated by walkabout performers weaving their way through the city’s streets.
