Boom Festival 2010

Boom Vision

BOOM IS A MODEL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

As an environmentally conscious event, Boom is a concrete example that shows it is possible to co-exist on this Planet in respect of Mother Earth and of one another. This is possible through a deep understanding of the cycles of life and humanity’s place within these cycles. Permaculture is a brilliant example of how such an understanding can be transformed into practice.

Boom’s pioneering Environmental Program applies the principles of permaculture to every single aspect of the festival's production. 

Moreover, it widely promotes the knowledge and practice of sustainability through lectures, workshops, and of course, through demonstrating with practical examples.

Some of the practices that Boom has implemented include 100 percent Compost toilets. In fact, to this day, Boom is the only large-scale event to manifest such a result. The festival’s environmental strategy has also  implemented 100 percent on-site water treatment facilities, several off-grid energy solutions, bio-construction, permaculture gardens and vegetable oil generators. These are just some of the ground-breaking projects that have granted Boom the most prestigious international accolades in environmental efficiency.

BOOM BELIEVES IN A BORDERLESS WORLD

Since its inception in 1997, Boom has become the home of the global nomadic tribe. Since then, it has grown organically by word-of-mouth into an incredible culturally-diverse festival, attracting people from 154 nationalities (2016). Boom is the celebration of the Earth’s multicoloured Oneness. EVERYONE is invited and EVERYONE is called to consciously co-create a positive reality of Love and Peace, for us and for the next generations. We Are One!
 

 BOOM BELIEVES IN TRANSCENDENCE THROUGH MUSIC

At Boom, music is sacred. The dancefloors are temples for transcending ordinary states of perception and the limitations of our egos. Through dance and music, we can reconnect to our own individual divine essence, while in synch with the beating heart of the whole tribe. All in One!

Music at Boom is scattered across four epic stage and is as diverse as it gets. From electronic beats and pieces to acoustic and classical acts - there is a place for every culturally-unique style of sound. You will discover this vibrant multi-cultural palette within Boom's program of live concerts, DJ sets, solo acts and live band performances.

So from its roots as a psytrance festival, to its evolution into an inclusive gathering, Boom has unveiled a fascinating and diverse spectrum of top quality soundscapes of the underground.  

Psytrance was our first love - so there is no denying that its culture has remained a pivotal source of inspiration for Boom and it's vision - and is a testimony of the evolutionary potential that exists in such a culture.

BOOM ACTIVATES TRANSFORMATION

Boom’s ultimate aim is to facilitate individual and collective transformation. The Boom experience has been conceived to activate the vital force directing every being towards the fulfillment of its highest potential. To reach this ambitious goal, Boom relies on the continuous exchange of radically innovative knowledge and practices by countless Boomers, musicians, artists, teachers, visionaries, healers, farmers, ecologists, wisdom keepers, researchers, scientists, activists.

Besides the music stages and the countless art installations scattered across the site, other areas of information chanelling exist in portals such as the Liminal Village, the Being Fields (formerly known as Healing Area) and the Visionary Art Museum. Here our hearts, bodies and minds can fully download a rich backdrop of information that is delivered by workshops, presentations, rituals and meditations. Please check the individual area pages for more details.
 

NO TO CORPORATE SPONSORS, CORPORATE LOGOS AND VIPs, YES TO INDEPENDENCE, SOLIDARITY AND CREATIVITY!!!

Boom is an autonomous zone of cognitive liberty and therefore is and will always be free from corporate sponsorship and logos. Boom is funded by the financial support of the thousands of people that buy the tickets so they can come to the festival.

Boom does not believe in VIP areas and special treatment for anyone because every single Boomer is a VIP! Boom adheres to the principle of co-creation by 'thinking outside the box', exploring novel ways of viewing reality and taking action for its evolutionary unfolding.

Together, we make magic happen!
