Boom is a collaboration between many artists, facilitators, workers, creators, volunteers, speakers, friends and other magical beings. Every individual brings their own energy and enthusiasm to the festival – proof of the incredible things we can come up with as a collective body when we put our hearts together.

We’re looking for workers, volunteers and active participants to co-create Boom. Become part of the build or join the programme – there are plenty of opportunities to participate both before and during the festival. We’d love you to share your talents and skills with us.

The theme for our 30-year celebration is Psychedelic Renaissance and we’re looking for your creative ideas and interpretations on our current psychedelic epoch. We hope you feel as inspired as we do.
