• 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.

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.

• Welcome to the Young Dragons area: a sort of Boom-inside-Boom, tailor-made for the youngest generation. 
   
• 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.

• 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. 

Inside the festival area, be sure to:

• Maintain a moderate speed and ensure that your bicycle has functioning brakes. 
   
• Give pedestrians the right of way, stay on designated paths and make sure you have lights for visibility at night.
   
• Avoid bringing it to stages or crowded areas.
   
• Park it at the designated parking areas throughout the festival grounds.
