• It is expressly forbidden to place chairs on dancefloors. These spaces are made for dancing. Around them there are several places for Boomers to sit under the shade.

• To bring individual chairs, sofas or even ironing boards onto a collective space demonstrates a lack of respect for the community, for the sacred act of Dance and is the result of a selfish way of being that is disaligned with the Boom culture and psytrance ideals. If you are one of these people, just don't come to Boom. Dancefloors are for Dancers.

• Every chair in the dancefloor will be confiscated by the security team and donated to a local charitable institution.

• Yes, there is a place where you can charge your phone. .. But if you really want to experience what Boom is all about, we strongly encourage you to keep your mobile phone switched off for a week. That might at first feel like losing connection, but you will soon notice that disconnecting is essential to connect with the people and impressions that really surround you, to connect with the Here & Now. Charge you mind with the spirit of Boom.

• Boom is a free space. It was therefore inevitable that drones would become more and more present during the festival, operated by people who wish to capture moments of their experience. But we've reached a limit. Drones are not welcome at the festival, neither are intrusive cameras who do not respect the personal boundaries of Boomers.
   
• The only drones allowed during Boom are those belonging to official Boom photographers and videographers. Invasive cameras (photo and film) will not be tolerated and may be forced to leave the venue.

• There are no Wi-Fi hotspots at Boom. Live in the offline and unplug to connect.

• STREAMING

Boom is a human experience that entails the set and the setting, nature, and the vibe that is felt in the present moment. It is not meant to be streamed. 

• SOCIAL MEDIA

While it is used as a tool for large-scale data gathering in the benefit of some corporations, social media can also be used as a means of interacting and connecting with Boomers all over the world and share ideas worth spreading. Hence, our presence on social networks is one focused on information, education and culture rather than ego-driven communication. During Boom, we often share diaries (written, photo and video) on our social networks to keep the community informed.

HOW TO GET TO BOOM

You have several options, depending on where you are leaving from and where you want to go next.

Among the different options, you also have those that are comfortable, economical and have a lower carbon footprint. These are the ones we recommend the most.

You can enjoy the convenience of the Boom Bus, which takes you right inside the festival venue – within walking distance of the camping areas. You can choose to go by car or carpooling, by caravan, by bike or public transport. All of them are described here.

FREE CAMPING AND PARKING

• Parking, camping and the caravan park are included in the ticket price.

RENTING ACCOMMODATION SERVICES

Keep your valuables safe with our locker service and enjoy the festival to the fullest.

Our lockers are available 24/7 at the Info Stand.

Our team is here to keep your items secure while you focus on having fun! This is not a self-service locker, it's a cloakroom service. Our team manages all of the accesses – but don’t worry if you need to grab something. You can access your valuables anytime, just note that each visit comes with a small fee.

• Can I cook my own food at Boom?

Absolutely. There's nothing like a spontaneous cookout with your fellow Boomers from all around the world. Please keep in mind that due to the high risk of fire cooking is ONLY allowed in the community kitchens, which you will find at the Social Hubs in the camping areas.

• Can I bring my own gas canister?

Gas devices are NOT allowed on Boomland as they present a high risk of explosion.

• Parking is included in the price of your Boom ticket. Please follow the instructions of our ground crew when you land your freak freighter at Boom as there's a system for our free parking.


• Get detailed info on the Caravans & Cars page.

All human activity produces waste. While being at Boom, like in daily life, you will inevitably produce garbage. So, how close to a zero-waste Boom experience can you get?

• Use the pocket ashtrays provided in the Welcome Kit. If you lose yours, more are available at the Info Stand. It is estimated that 4.5 trillion cigarrette butts are littered every year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). There are more than 7,000 toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke.
   
• Never use confetti or glitter. if you're using glitter, make sure it is 100% natural and biodegradable.
   
• Place your rubbish in the adequate recycling bins. You'll be given a rubbish bag at the entrance, please use it.
   
• Use the compost toilets properly.
   
• When you are getting ready to leave Boom, make sure to remove your tent pegs and other metals from the soil.
   
• If you arrive with your caravan or van, please always dispose your waste water and toilet into the designated collection tanks, NEVER into the compost toilets, as this would destroy them.

Can I buy groceries at Boom?

• Yes. The on-site supermarket has fresh bread, veggies, fresh fruits, drinks, dairy products, eco-friendly toiletries and even some camping gear.

• There's nothing like a nice shower after a hot and sweaty day at Boomland. However, please keep in mind that water is a scarce resource out here.
   
• The water flows in to Boomland from the public grid which provides access for around 10,000 people who live in the local area. This means the impact of over 40,000 Boomers on the water system is enormous and for this reason, we must be extra mindful.
   
• In 2025, 5.942 millions of litres of water were consumed during the eight days of Boom, which means that on average, a Boomer used approximately 16.5 litres of water per day, as opposed to 17.3 litres per Boomer per day during Boom 2023.
   
• To avoid excessive water consumption, we limit the daily operating hours of the many showers that are available all around Boomland.
   
• Shower only if you really need it and keep your shower sessions as short as possible. Thank you for understanding and for helping us to save this most precious resource.

• There are a few ATM machines near the Info Stand at the Camping Village. Be mindful of your expenses. Buy only what you need.

• For many years we were reluctant to use technology to serve the needs of a large scale event happening in a remote location. Our apprehension also came from the feeling that technology would dehumanise the social interactions that come with the purchasing process.
   
• However, we're happy to have found a solution that we believe caters the needs of Boomers and the festival. This mixed system will also significantly reduces the amount of paper used during Boom.
   
• Boomers can ask for a refund of their outstanding balance after the festival, to be announced closer to the festival. 
   
• More information about our Cashless system will be released closer to the festival.

• Sound systems and generators are not allowed. Please respect your neighbours: let’s keep the noise level and carbon footprint low.

This is not your average flea market. Vendors from across the planet set up shop along the busy trajectories of Boomland where they display all manner of eccentric apparel, artisanal creations, quirky jewellery and organic products. We seek out the most creative and imaginative stalls to participate. 

Foodies and lovers of international cuisine will be happy to hear that there are many different food vendors offering a variety of food. Each one is selected according to its quality, ethics and affordability. Most options are vegan or vegetarian.

Simply stroll down to Central Plaza to explore the different menus, or head over to the Sacred Fire to enjoy a fabulous breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or snack any time of the day or night. 

• There are 57 free drinking water points all over Boomland.
   
• Bring your reusable water bottle and stay hydrated at all times.

• Glass bottles are NOT ALLOWED at Boom. Glass creates a high risk of injury, and might even cause a fire (remember the magnifying glass effect?). Vehicles will be searched for glass, so please pour all your drinks into other bottles before you arrive.
   
• Eco Tip: avoid plastic, opt for steel instead.

• We encourage all Boomers to bring their own refillable container. These can be used to carry around water or any other drink served at the food areas, bars and chaishops during the festival. 

• ALL food vendors and chaishops at Boom Festival use biodegradable dishware and cutlery to serve food.
   
• These belong in the organic recycling bin once you've finished enjoying your meal.

• Please note: the hot climate, noise and dust levels create a somewhat demanding environment. We do not recommend bringing kids younger than 3 years old.

• Inclusivity is one of the core principles of Boom.
   
• Please register before you travel to Boom, so we can give you as much support as possible. Accessibility Requirement form will be available closer to the festival.

• We all love our pets, however, Boom is just not the right place for them – for their own safety or for the safety of your fellow Boomers. The somewhat intense environment of Boom with its hot climate, all the smells and all the movement, the busy campsite, the dust and noise levels – that's a great experience for humans, but overwhelming and stressful for most pets. Also there's a risk of  leishmaniasis – a disease transmitted by parasites which can kill animals.
   
• So please, DO NOT BRING YOUR PETS to Boom. Visit Pets for more information.

• A great Boom experience rests on three pillars: drink plenty of water, eat enough and sleep enough. Your radiant smile will tell you when these three factors are well balanced.

• The sun is great, but remember: the dose makes the poison. Seek shade, and never fall asleep in the sun. If you see anyone sleeping under the scorching sun, please wake them up.

• Drench your T-shirt, sarong, etc in water and enjoy the most eco-friendly aircon on this planet. 

• Use quality sunscreen.

• Sleep. OK, you might miss a few hours of festival – but be assured: you will enjoy the remaining hours so much more.

• Take your time. Boom is on for a full week, so there's no need to crank it at full throttle from day one. Enjoy the mellow, chilled out aspects of Boom and work towards the climax in a slow and conscious fashion.

• Always respect yourself, respect others and respect Mother Nature.

• The hot summer weather should never be underestimated. It has a direct influence on your body and your mind, and also supports the growth of bacteria. With thousands of Boomers around, it is very important to keep up a certain hygiene.
   
• Always wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating. Speaking of the toilets: use them, don't piss or shit anywhere else. 

• Fire is absolutely NOT ALLOWED. The risk of devastating bushfires is extremely high, that's why any sort of open flame is strictly forbidden. 

• The only animal that needs mentioning here is a species of scorpion known as lacrau. It's very common in this region, and its sting can be very painful. Be careful when lifting rocks or putting on your shoes, because these little fellas like to hide here. If you get stung, seek medical attention immediately.

• There is a 24-hour medical service at Boom throughout the festival. Before coming to the festival, make sure to look at the map attentively and memorise where they are located.

• In case of a medical emergency, head to the First Aid points, the on-site hospital or talk to any member of the Boom team. If you witness anything that might be a fire, head to the Info Stand or contact a member of the Boom Team immediately. There are 24/7 medical services and firefighter units at Boomland.

• Please visit the Kosmicare page for more information.

• There is no pharmacy at Boom. However, the on-site medical service will administer essential medications if needed.
   
• If you need to store a specific medication in the fridge, we can provide this service for you. Please note that this may incurr a fee.
   
• If you have any inquiries, make sure to reach out to us via the contact form before the festival.

• The lake water is safe to swim in, but not to drink.
   
• Please respect nature: NEVER piss or shit in the lake, and do not use any petrochemical soaps or lotions.
