Chapter Five: Radical Redesign · 12–16 August 2026 · Matterley Estate, Winchester
One timetable for the whole crew.
Everyone stars the sets they want. Swap one QR code — no accounts, no signal, no server. BoomSched folds the lot into a single running order: what you're all doing together, who's wandering off, and exactly where you'd lose each other.

How it works
-
1
Star your sets
The full released timetable — every stage, soundsystem, talk and workshop — searchable by artist, venue or genre. Your stars build into a day-by-day schedule with clash warnings and the gaps in between.
-
2
Swap one code
Your picks compress into a QR code. A mate scans it — phone to phone, across a table, in a field with no bars — and the two schedules merge on the spot. A link works too, for anyone still at home.
-

Read the crew
Three views over everyone's picks: what you're all doing together, everything anyone fancies with who's going, and the splits — the moments half of you are about to walk to a different stage.
Built for a field, not a wifi cafe
Boomtown is 66,000 people in a valley near Winchester, where mobile data is a rumour. So nothing here depends on it.

Works fully offline
Your picks travel inside the QR code itself. Decoding and merging happen on the phone — and this website works the same way, right down to keeping your schedule in the browser.
-
→
Survives app updates
Sets are identified by a content hash, not a position in a list, so a mate on an older build still shares cleanly. Anything unknown is skipped with a visible count, never quietly mapped to the wrong artist.

Right time, any phone
Times are festival wall clocks: 22:00 reads as 22:00 whatever timezone your phone thinks it's in, and Friday's 2am set stays on Friday's programme where it belongs.
About the data. The timetable is the one released in the Boomtown app — 1,744 sets across 71 venues, ceremonies included. Where a finish time isn't published it's inferred from the next set on that stage and labelled as an estimate rather than stated as fact.
