Boom is not a festival only, it is a state of mind.

We mirror the changes that evolve in the universe by developing a unique experience that includes enjoying the nature, neo-tribalism, some of the best contemporary music, mind-stimulating lectures by global activists, inspiration of the finest art and performing arts. The vibe lived at Boom is a spirit (the spirit of Boom) difficult to find anywhere else…

The Boom adheres to the principle of ‘thinking outside the box’, reflecting novel ways of expressing ourselves by unifying the alternative and psychedelic culture of the world. It is a weeklong experience away from dominant culture in the Portuguese sunny unspoilt nuclear-free lands.

Boom’s multidisciplinary, mind-expanding program is constantly evolving.

Visit our website to discover more about each of Boom’s cultural zones, as well as mesmerising installation works and the love bombs of creativity showered by artists across the festival site at smaller art zones.

You are the main reason for Boom – the Boomer!

BIO CONSTRUINDO – CIDADE – 9-12 JULY

Mindstream 15 – The Boom Radio Podcast by LAB

LAB is a portuguese producer that takes dark music into the realm of sci-fi and experimentalism. He is the latest adition to our exciting Boom Radio podcast series!

Who are you and when did you start making music?
I started producing back in 1998, first in genres like house, lounge and breakbeat, and only a few years after in 2004 i started with psytrance .

How do you describe the LAB sound?
LAB sound is atmospheric , hypnotic and strong , with some glimpses of light . Every track has a diferent story, that is something mandatory in the production !

What are your main influences to produce your music?
I am influenced by many things, but i would say sci fi movies and roleplaying games have great impact on my music. Of course im also influenced by many artists i like, some of them are not psytrance but they still influence how the production goes.

What is your favorite equipment to create the LAB sound?
The favorite equipment would definitly be the Nord Modular, a monster machine that can achieve amazing and infinite results, although i use many more, like Korg Ms-2000r, Roland Sonic Cell, Yamaha TG-33 and every piece of hardware i can put my hands on!!

What is your dream in life?
My dream in life… is to live only for the music. Unfortunately that is not possible yet, but i’m a positive person and i believe i’ll get there someday, i’ll never stop trying!
Playing one day at Boom Festival is of course a part of this dream, and it could definitly help to achieve the ultimate goal

We are tired of the tyranny with which corporate brands relentlessly invade peoples’ minds. Following two years of intense research, we have finally discovered a fair trade cola that will be made available during Boom 2012. All other products will be in line with the ethics of fair trade and localism, keeping the emphasis on supporting local producers and bio products.

The correlation between the western calendar and the phases of the moon make an August 2012 an interesting phenomena for the fact that it will be illuminated by two full moons!
In the same year the earth, the sun, and the center of the galaxy will come together in an extremely rare, cosmic alignment. The cosmic mutations and the impetus for freedom we all feel make 2012 the most special year ever in the history of Boom.

We have always followed the ascendant trajectory of the Full Moon of August every two years. Due to the very unique phenomenon of two full moons in the same month in 2012, Boom will begin at the end of July and continue until the early August.

Initially, this would clash with other festival dates, namely Ozora, which is usually takes place during the first couple weeks of August. It is not something that either the Boom Team or the Ozora would want as it would divide the scene and send a negative energy into the mentalscape of the psy-trance tribe.
Both teams have agreed on accommodating the dates of each other’s festivals so that the trance scene can enjoy both.

Public first is Boom’s motivation and we are very happy that both festivals have agreed. We Are One!

Boom 2012 will feature DJs, live acts and bands that play longer music sets – the sense of journey is finally back!

Short sets by artists take away the essence of the journey and this is something commonly suffered at many festivals and parties. Often than not, something meaningful is being lost when the artist, while under time constraints, is forced to play a short set narrative. We are tired of the tyranny of quantity over quality and of short-lived music sets.

As a result, in 2012, we are focusing more on the flow of the music, hence inviting Djs, acts and bands for longer sets to allow the sense of the music journey. We’ve been listening to hundreds of hours of new music in many genres and we are compiling an exciting music flow!

We’re currently in the process of planning the layout of a caravan park within Boom Land – which we believe will help us to overcome and make up for one of the biggest criticisms that we received in 2010.

Back in 2010, we found ourselves moving the Boom site to a new location at the lake – and we only had three months to do it! The new location really was like a dream come true although at the same time, there were some fairly big issues that we had to deal with.

What a mission! The biggest challenge was transforming a site without any infrastructure – from land that had been used over the last 20 years for cowfarming, into a sustainable village with water, energy and art!


It took from May until August to install 15km of electric cables, 240,000 lt water tanks, 12 km of water tubes and internet connections. We built roadways, cleaned up the whole place, built showers as well as almost 180 composting toilets, the communal kitchen, campsite, solar power stations and everything else that comprises the whole festival infrastructure.

Time and the actual geophysics of the compound made it impossible to build a proper caravan park within the actual parameters of the festival venue itself. For those living within those parameters, everything was nice and comfortable. However, for those Boomers with caravans, the experience was much harder, which keeps breaking our hearts.

At this moment in time, we are seeking out the best location within the festival site to build a caravan park, and working out the most viable way to distribute water pipes and showers for caravans only.
We are fully committed to the new design to make sure your caravan stay at Boom 2012 will be a super-comfortable and hassle free experience. You are one of our main priorities. We’ll keep you posted on developments. With Love from the Boom Team!
