This year's B.O.M.B. festival quickly outgrew its original location, Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, as more than 40 acts take the stage in a 2 day concert that now has a new home.
The May 28-29 event will be held at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford, marking the first time that the theatre has hosted a non-profit show. Organized by Frank Bombaci, Sr. and Frank Bombaci, Jr., the proceeds from B.O.M.B. Fest 2011 will go to providing music scholarships, music enrichment and education programs, music and healing initiatives and community support and outreach.
“I have watched BOMB fest grow from its days at the Durham Fair and am honored they have chosen the Comcast Theatre to host the 2011 BOMB fest,” says Jim Koplik, President of Live Nation Connecticut-Upstate New York in regards to the expansion of the Festival. “It is the number one homegrown festival in Connecticut and now it will be held in the premiere outdoor concert venue in Connecticut.”
Two-day passes are $99 and are currently available via the official festival website. Advance single-day tickets are also on sale now at $60 via www.bombfest.com.
