Boomtown Presents… The London Ball

• 12th May 2011

Hot on the heels of the Bristol bank holiday blow-out, the Boomtown travelling fair rolls into London town at full speed on Friday 13th May for another dose of decadent and debauched indoor festival action at the Boomtown London Ball. With tickets going on sale today (Friday 1^st April) Boomtown are all set to take over the epic confines of the Bussey Building in Peckham, where you can expect a raucous and rambunctious romp through all the fun of the Fair. Skank out to the best in live ska in the Town Centre, wind up your waistline in the Bassline Circus, let the Uprizing Crew move your mind and body with the deepest dub and reggae and get four to the floor in The Bodyshop. If that wasn't enough you can expect a high-octane concoction of village games, fancy dress, performance artists, mindblowing decor and the full-pelt Boomtown festival vibes that you've come to know and love. You ready? Let's take a waltz around the Boomtown London Ball…

The Town Centre

A town centre like no other this is the hedonistic hub of the Boomtown Travelling Fair. A non-stop musical Mecca where games are played, dreams are made and memories engraved. Come down and shake a leg to the finest live ska, dub and funk and be prepared to get intimate with the Boomtown acts and inhabitants…

Babyhead

Boomtown’s block-rockin' resident eight-headed monster will be skanking its way up the M4 to cause a riot with their live Ska, Hip Hop and Dub styles like no other. 'Mazers!

Los Albertos

These Brighton six piece ska-funkers eat festivals for breakfast! It’s dance music Jim, but not as we know it…
