Boomtown, United Kingdom
Home of the legendary Blackburn aka Boomtown illegal parties still going strong 35 years later. The Hardcore Uproar collective first formed in 1988 to throw some of the most famous parties in the history of the scene. From the Sett End in Blackburn thousands would gather in convoys waiting for the word to head off into the night to find the illegal warehoose gatherings and dance all night long. From aboot 50ppl quickly growing into 10000 until the police raid at Nelson Lancs. All this culminating in the historical The Love Decade party which ended with Britains biggest mass arrest,836 ravers beat up, banged up but still raving. Parties for people not profit. Hardcore Uproar often copied never equalled , still High On Hope.
