The absolutely bonkers Boomtown Fair released a sold chunk of artists for the 2013 edition of the “UK’s Maddest City.” The Parov Stelar Band, Ozomatli, Toots and the Maytals, Mad Caddies, and Arrested Development are all part of the first round announcement See the complete list below. Stay tuned for another huge lineup drop on February 14th.
The Boomtown Fair takes place August 8-13, 2013, in Winchester, UK. This independent festival boasts no corporate sponsors which definitely makes it one of the wilder festival experiences out there.
