2025 is going to be a VERY big year for the Boomtown Rats & everyone who loves them! A big year deserves nothing less than the Rats having their online home, www.theboomtownratsofficial.com
renovated! When first thinking of the Most Revolutionary Band In the History of Rock 'n' Roll, the current "slow movement" might not be the 1st thing that pops into your mind. Things like slow cooking, slow living...Meaning basically taking the time to actually enjoy life instead of a rush to the finish line where you don't even remember how you got there! The Rats website www.theboomtownratsofficial.com IS going to welcome the Boomtown Rats 50th Anniversary in style BUT you're going to see changes on the site happening gradually over the coming year.
Citizens of Boomtown has been extended by one month. The new final day for Citizens of Boomtown is Monday, 14th October. So you have one more month to take screenshots of anything you've loved or are sentimental about because once Citizens of Boomtown is no longer online, all posts will have been completely deleted.
Citizens of Boomtown was created specifically to coincide with the release of the Greatest Album In The History of Rock 'n' Roll, "Citizens Of Boomtown". The Rats impending 50th Anniversary represents a brand new era of the Boomtown Rats, which is why the way is being made with a complete, all~around refreshing! When life is new, anything is possible and always open to last minute changes! That's a very exciting thing! So nothing is concrete but among the possibilities for the renovated Boomtown Rats site is a section of it which will be a forum. Nothing about the Rats is quiet, so should this happen, the word will be gotten out there! At that time, you will need to create a new account on the site since Citizens of Boomtown logins won't cross over.
If your favorite thing about Citizens of Boomtown has been talking with other people who love the Boomtown Rats, there are still places where you can do that. The Rats have Official accounts on every major social media platform: TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, and Threads. Bob Geldof has Official accounts on X and Facebook. Each of these has a distinctly different feeling & style, so there's something for everyone! Citizens of Boomtown and the Boomtown Rats Official Site feature the icons for each of the Rats' social media platforms at the top of the page, so just click on them & be immediately connected!
The best part is that Citizens of Boomtown gets to go out with a bang because the first week of October brings the birthdays of Mr. Sneaky Snaps, himself, Paul Cuddeford, and Bob Geldof! So let's make it memorable! Start going through all of the amazing photos I know you've taken over the years, featuring Bob and Paul (individually or together!) and FILL THESE PAGES UP come October! (Or just find photos online you really love!) Share favorite stories...anything at all...but let's make it BIG. Because the Boomtown Rats...and you...deserve nothing less!
...And keep your eyes on the site of the Most Revolutionary Band In The History of Rock 'n' Roll ~ the Boomtown Rats! ( www.theboomtownratsofficial.com )

I'll follow the transition to the new site, and look forward. I have appreciated the interactions here at COB and wish everyone the best from this side of the pond. Hope to run into some of you during travel your way to do the Rat!
Sounds wonderful! I’m glad we have a little more time here♥️ I’ve actually already started working on my projects for Bob’s birthday (I love him so much that I thought why not start now) I wrote a song about him and I’m going to release it on his birthday, I’ll share it here along with a picture tribute of him🥰😍❤️
