BOOM Festival 2010 - 8th edition - 9:00 dia 18 de Agosto em Idanha a Nova



Six full moons remain to Boom 2010. Our teams are now putting all efforts in the engineering behind the design of all structures. Artists are delivering cutting-edge artworks that will send Boom 2010 into the next level of aesthetics. Prepare for a feast of eye blowing optical-wizardry!

The new location have been pushing our sensations to high levels. Flowers are now starting to pop up and the majestic settings of the venue assure us you will have better conditions to camp and party than in the previous venue.

Boom has been taking many environmental actions towards sustainability. This includes waste management, recycling, composting, energy management to source renewable energy options and water treatment based on plants. The Sacred Earth need Boomers to be even more involved - let's all do the change.


Adopt Zero Waste

We are going to share a beautiful natural place with the opportunity to call it our communal home. Together we can show we can make a difference in the world. Keep the Boom clean. Leave no trace. Adopt the ethics of Zero Waste!

Use Public Transport

Instead of taking your car into Boom why not use the local bus service to get to and from the festival? Boom Bus is our contribution to make your life easy while being environmentally conscious. To avoid carbon emissions, an increased carbon footprint, and at the same time help you in finding the best place in the camping area, Boom Bus users have special entrance on August 17th, one day before gates officially open.
More info here.

Don't Waste Water…

When you are showering, please make sure you use minimal water and turn the tap off whilst shampooing. Bring organic shampoos and soaps. If you're using one of the drinkable water standpipes around the site to fill bottles please don't leave water running.

…And Respect The Lake


Reading Masaru Emoto’s amazing books we get to know water as a living being that accumulates our vibrations. A stunning lake that needs to be taken care of and cleaned surrounds Boom. Please don’t make the lake dirty. Don´t leave a dark trace on this physical dimension.

Get On A Bike!

There is a lot of walking to do at Boom. That is a good thing. It is a weeklong gathering, so why bother with time? Time is art… So if you are a campervan fan, the best and greener way to get around the festival, besides walking, is biking. Even better, you can travel to Boom by bike as our friends Stan and Joost, from Belgium, did in 2008. Check their noble achievement here.

No Glass

No glass is allowed on site. Two reasons for this: litter and the fact that with sunlight lost glass can increase the risks of fire on the land. Please decant your drinks into reusable cans before you arrive. If you can’t avoid plastic, please use the recycling bins.

Hey, Where Is Your Tent?

Taking down all of the tents left behind after the festival is a hard task. All garbage left behind and hundreds of tents make the best screenplay for the dark side of Boom (soon we’ll reveal photos from 2008). Most of the tents are not in proper conditions after being used by the Boomers therefore we have no choice in most cases except to send them to garbage containers. Please take all your personal waste away with you, including used tents.

Buy Less, Use Less: Simple Living, High Thinking


Do you really need to bring so much packaging to Boom? Look at what the enlightened Mahatma Gandhi wrote back in 1931: “The incessant search for material comforts and their multiplication is such an evil, and I make bold to say that the humans themselves will have to remodel their outlook, if they are not to perish under the weight of the comforts to which they are becoming slaves”. Need we say more?

We Are No-Corporate Logo Area

Boom is a no-corporate logo area to encourage a culture of cognitive liberty, conscious consumption and change. Our mind is limitless and we are one with the universe. Find the way, but find your own way - support independence.
