Boom Festival venue from the air. Boom Festival is a very international festival with people coming from all over the world. The last editions saw a lot of people coming from North America including a lot of Burners who attend Burning Man regularly. As Boom Festival creates more stages the diversity of music and other activities grows and brings with it new people.
It is much more than just a music festival, and offers a lot of other activities and happenings. The Dance Temple is the main dancefloor, dedicated mainly to the more pumping Psytrance, but still showing a wide variety of styles.
The Alchemy Circle is dedicated to explore the margins and borderlines of Psytrance with music ranging from Progressive Trance, through more freestyle psychedelic beats all the way to Techno.
The Sacred Fire stage is dedicated to the acoustic side of psychedelic music in great diversity and also to community life in contact with nature. The Chillout Garden are the place to rest your mind, take it to other dimensions, just float or sleep, and sometimes even boogie a little with chilled psychedelic music.

Buying local to support the economy is not only beneficial to the community which we come to meet each edition of Boom, but also excellent for health while demonstrating an activist approach to sustainable living in this consumerist, increasingly globalized world.
Organic produce sourced locally or grown independently is one of the most empowering forms of activism that can help us to Make Change Happen. We do a special Puja of instrumental music and chanting of ancient heritage from across the world. We bring together chanting as homage to water: mantras from India, chanting from the Peyote tradition or music from Sikh devotion.

The gardens of the Ambient arte punctuated by incredible land art, featuring the works Vicente Bettencourt and Brohll Johl. Just be amazed! As a part of our ecological statement, most of the materials we use are not sourced from industrialized processes.
Bamboo and Canya At Boom we showcase some of the most avant-garde temporary bioconstruction architecture. In we are using bamboo and Canya as main features. Bioconstruction refers to energy used in fabricating the material, transporting it and the process for it to be constructed.
It can also be harvested and built by hand and all put together with rope made from sisal which is another plant grown in the Mediterranean. Covering the material with clay will give it permanence. In terms of the foundation, we dug holes in the ground and filled them with gravel so water seeps into the ground while protecting the canya. You can grow your own canya in grey water in hot climate conditions and see it grow fast within a year.
How do you think bamboo and canya would work together? Because it has that flexibility, bamboo could be used to create the kind of structures designed for canya. It would be a highly creative fusion!
Boats, jewellery, furniture, shot glasses, instruments In fact the reed part of a woodwind comes from canya. I mean even in the last decade there really has been a bamboo revolution in terms of awareness. I think the way it works as a building material connects to the kind of ideals I have for how society can run in general.
That you need to be strong about certain things, but you also need to be flexible about how you approach things depending on which way the wind blows. It teaches me something new every time I use it. So that one person is not the same person individually right now as they would be if they were in a group. The Canya team have been incorporating some bamboo into their structure. It would work well specially for creating arches. We want to clean all the water that is used at Boom.
For that we designed a system that can be a solution for the future of human communities. Boom Festival is a totally independent event that is proudly free of corporate sponsorship, state-funding or political affiliations. And as knowledge is power, we would like to take this opportunity to unravel the mystery of Boom by providing a response to some of the rumours that have been circulating in recent times.
Portuguese organisation, Good Mood Productions has been at the helm of the Boom Festival since its inception. The organisation became the first to introduce the Portuguese populace to the sounds of Goa trance and psy trance in the early s. Around the mid s it strived to engage with individuals and organisations with new approaches to living sustainably.
From permaculture courses and curated art initiatives to developed environmental projects for festivals, municipalities, and nature parks - the organisation continues to discover and disseminate innovative solutions to sustainable living and artistic creation.
Boomers have been given indepth insights to the dynamics of the organisation, the festival and its history, thanks to the publication of two hard backs, several DVDs and CDs, also including the first ever psychedelic trance CD to feature Portuguese artists. In Boom collected and re-used 45, litres of WVO, which was used to feed their generator as well as three of their fleet vehicles.
Their pioneering Your Oil Is Music project — through which waste oil is collected from local towns — ensures a local supply of renewable energy as well as engagement with the local community. Boom festival uses 40 kWh of solar energy, which is produced onsite, and is in the process of transitioning from diesel to even more off-grid photovoltaic energy.
Their largest photovoltaic array comprises 18 panels, all following the tilt of the sun, and producing 13kw per hour per day.
