The DIY mentality is still much in evidence across the whole arts, education and culture projects at Boom 2008. We’re sure that some of the most exciting breakthroughs of this Boom will come from the artists that are crosspollinating their aesthetics with other art forms – be it in paint, installations, music, performances or theatre. But there’s a whole army of poets, activists, enthusiasts, to name just a few, following in close pursuit.
So, look out for the novelties, watch out for the genuine arts and free expressions. You have all five senses for this purpose! We know you’re curious about what will happen at Boom so we start now to announce some of our invitees for Boom 2008.

Music: Some Delicatessen Already Confirmed Gocoo are twelve Taiko drummers from Tokyo (Japan) who capture their audience with original grooves woven with Japanese drums, Taikos. They are presenting two shows: one in the Dance Floor, and on the following day the Sacred Fire area is hosting the neo-tribal music journey from the Japanese musical heritage to modern music lovers.On the other hand Groovy Beach will feature funk, dub and reggae in the afternoon, progressing into dubstep and breaks and late at night will turn into minimal, neo-trance or deep techno.
