A boomtown is a community that undergoes sudden and rapid population and economic growth, or that is started from scratch because of an influx of people. The growth is normally attributed to the nearby discovery of a precious resource such as gold, silver, or oil, although the term can also be applied to communities growing very rapidly for different reasons, such as a proximity to a major metropolitan area, huge construction project, or attractive climate.
Early boomtowns, such as Leeds, Liverpool, and Manchester, experienced a dramatic surge in population and economic activity during the Industrial Revolution at the turn of the 19th century. In pre-industrial England these towns had been relative backwaters, compared to the more important market towns of Bristol, Norwich, and York, but they soon became major urban and industrial centres. Although these boomtowns did not directly owe their sudden growth to the discovery of a local natural resource, the factories were set up there to take advantage of the excellent Midlands infrastructure and the availability of large seams of cheap coal for fuel.
Boomtown is a global community of artists, makers, musicians, builders, performers, technicians and event managers who come together once a year to create one of the most insane shows on earth. Come join the family and be part of the story!

When I go back next year I aim to have a proper decent camera and make a much better video! This was all filmed on Kai's phone as my phone died like 1 day into the festival so couldn't catch hardly anything of Boomtown and only captured main stages. (IPhone 5 Battery is shit) Hope you guys enjoy this little montage of Boomtown and some of the best bits I captured. Can't wait to go back and do it all again! ►My Twitter - https://twitter.com/HJDoogan ►My Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/hjdoogan/profile ►Add me on Snapchat! - HJDoogan ►Follow me on Instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/hjdoogan_/ Use code “HJD” for a discount! ►KontrolFreeks - https://www.kontrolfreek.com/?_aid=HJD

Here come the artists with their intense faces,
With their need for money and quiet spaces.
They leave New York, they leave L.A..
Here they are - who knows how long they'll stay -
[Chorus:]
It's a Boomtown
Got another Boomtown
And it'll boom
Just as long as boom has room.
Here come the tourists with their blank stares,
With their fanny packs - they are penny millionaires.
Something interesting happened here long time ago.
Now where people used to live their lives the restless
come and go.
[Chorus]
Nice to meet you, nice to see you
In a sheepskin coat made in Korea.
Welcome to the new age, the new century.
Welcome to a town with no real reason to be.
[Chorus]
The rich build sensitive houses and pass their staff
around.
For the rest of us, it's trailers on the outskirts of
town.
We carry them their coffee, wash their shiny cars,
Hear all about how lucky we are
To be living in a ...
[Chorus]
The guy from California moves in and relaxes.
The natives have to move - they cannot pay the taxes.
Santa Fe has had it. Sedona has, too.
Maybe you'll be lucky - maybe your town will be the
new...
