Bicep bring their live show to Boomtown 2027 as the reunited Noisia return to close HYDRO XL

Boomtown named its first two acts for Chapter 6: Wild Style on Oct 28. The festival runs Aug 11–15, 2027 in Hampshire.

Boomtown has named Bicep and Noisia as its first acts for 2027. The festival announced on Oct 28 that Bicep will close the Lion’s Den with their live show. Meanwhile, the reunited Noisia will close the HYDRO XL stage.

Boomtown 2027 is Chapter 6: Wild Style

Boomtown Chapter 6: Wild Style runs Aug 11–15, 2027 at Matterley Estate in Hampshire, the Daily Star reports. The closing sets on both stages are among the festival’s “most memorable moments,” Boomtown wrote. “It’s the last dance before we head back into the real world.”

Bicep close the Lion’s Den

The Lion’s Den holds 47,500 people, according to DJ Mag. Bicep said the booking took time to land. “After years of trying to make it work, we are very excited to finally be bringing the live show to Boomtown to close the Lions Den in 2027,” the duo said.

The duo also have a new album on the way. “SLUG” arrives on Jan 29, 2027 through Ninja Tune, as BEZ reported on Oct 22.

Noisia return to Boomtown

Noisia played their farewell set at Boomtown in 2022, DJ Mag notes. Since then, the Dutch electronic trio have reunited. Boomtown says they have not played the festival for five years. Their stage has also grown. HYDRO XL holds about 20,000 people, thefestivals.uk reports. It was scaled up from the 8,000-capacity hydrogen stage Boomtown introduced in 2025.

Thijs of Noisia looked back on that farewell show. “I remember looking out at 35,000 people filling the entire bowl, there to say goodbye to us,” he said. He added that it “should have been the three of us on that stage.”

“So it feels pretty special that we get to come back and play Boomtown together after all,” Thijs said.

What comes next for Boomtown

The full Phase One lineup is due on Thursday, Nov 26, the Daily Star reports. Boomtown has also teased The Transportal, a green-powered ride from Downtown up to the Hilltop. In addition, the festival is reworking its Anara Forest stage. Tickets are on sale now. Thursday public-transport tickets start from £325, according to the official tickets page.
