Boomtown 2026 has revealed over 50 new artists for Chapter Five, expanding an already colossal lineup ahead of its return to Winchester, Hampshire from 12th - 16th August, 2026. Known for its genre-defying programming and immersive world-building, the UK festival continues to raise the bar with one of its most diverse artist drops to date.

Leading the latest additions is Ren, joined by electronic and bass heavyweights including A.M.C featuring Phantom, Alix Perez, DJ EZ, Mala, Ivy Lab, Kasra, S.P.Y and Mandidextrous. Elsewhere, crossover and live highlights arrive via Peaches, Beardyman, Nubiyan Twist, Henge, Kae Tempest, Fox Stevenson Live, Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn and Daft Funk Live, adding further depth to Boomtown’s sonic universe.

The new names slot in alongside an already stacked bill topped by Kneecap, Skrillex, Four Tet, Madness, Scissor Sisters, Faithless and Vengaboys, with Boomtown once again blending underground credibility with outright spectacle across multiple chapters and districts.

With Chapter Five now taking shape and more than 50 artists just added, Boomtown 2026 is firmly positioned as one of Europe’s most ambitious festival experiences, promising five days of boundary-pushing music, storytelling and late-night chaos.
