We have a Friendly Price for people living in countries with specific economic realities.

Boom Festival’s Friendly ticket prices are based on objective, economic criteria, such as minimum wage per country, GDP per capita and purchasing power in countries benefiting from the Friendly discount compared with other economic realities.

We source this information on the websites of Eurostat, UNDP, Statista and Pordata.

• We want our global community to grow deeper roots at Boomland. The Boomland Tribe is our way of recognising the people who have already been here, and inviting them back.

  Who is in the Boomland Tribe?

  You are part of the Boomland Tribe if you attended any one of the events below. Attendance means your ticket was scanned at the gate. Sign-ups are now closed, and everyone who joined received a confirmation email.

  • Being Gathering 2024

  • Boomland School 2024

  • Boom Festival 2025

  • Boomland School 2025

  • Being Gathering 2026

  • Boomland School 2026

  What the Tribe gets?

  10% of all Boom Festival 2027 tickets are reserved for the Tribe. This tier is limited and sells out. Those who cannot get their tickets through this tier can always try with their local ambassador or through the online general sale.

  Why the list starts in 2024?

  Under data protection law (GDPR), we can only verify attendance for our most recent events. This means that pioneers from the 1990s, the first years of Boomland from 2010, earlier Boomland School courses and Being 2015 cannot be included because we can no longer contact these Boomers or retain the data.

  Joining in the future?

  Everyone who attends Boom Festival 2027 will receive an email and can sign up to join the Boomland Tribe afterwards. 
  
  We want the global community to deepen its connection with the land. Thus the Boomland Tribe is born. It is not a loyalty programme, nor a VIP status. It is an invitation for continuity.
  
  Boomland is not just a place. It is a sacred space in nature sustained by a worldwide community. On site, a team works year-round as stewards, dedicated to a bigger, shared purpose.
  
  Being part of the Tribe is free, personal, and permanent, as long as you have attended at least one of our events. The rest are real perks and bring you closer to everything Boomland has to offer.

Boom is a wholly independent festival free from corporate sponsorship. It is organised by a tax-paying cultural company settled in a remote region deep in the rural heart of Portugal, southern Europe. The whole Boom organisation encompasses two companies and a non-profit called IdanhaCulta.

It is financed by tickets, bars, accommodation services and the rental of space to shops, restaurants and cafes.

These are the funds that allow us to make a considerable investment in the production of the event, pay off the loan we took to purchase  Boomland and support the other ethical projects we run alongside to the festival. It is thanks to your support that we can provide stable jobs and monthly fees to dozens of people.

The ticket pricing has been designed to allow the festival to continually evolve. While ethical considerations of the global economy inform the decisions we make, we also need to take into account the costs of producing the festival and our commitment to continuing to deliver you a unique experience. Hence the adjustments to ticket prices in 2027 compared with 2025. 

Current rising costs in Portugal, worldwide and across the festival culture scene have been taken into account when determining ticket prices for 2027. Artists, technologies and suppliers are just some of the components involved in a fully fledged production such as Boom.

Boom is not a headliner-centered festival – it is paramount for us to provide Boomers with the most diverse and innovative programme while ensuring maximum comfort and proper infrastructures. 

Countries with stronger economies and higher output of resources are allocated regular tickets. This enables people from more fragile countries to access discounted Friendly Price tickets. We are confident that Boomers from countries with stronger economies can resonate with this concept.

On the other hand, we design our strategy so as to allow up to 500 people to join us at Boom for free as part of our Guest Countries initiative. In 2027, to honour our global communities, we're inviting not 1 but 10 Guest Countries.

On a separate note, growth is not an indicator of success for us. It means tickets for our 2027 edition will again be limited. This will provide an infrastructure that can cater for every single person within a safe and comfortable environment while maintaining a balance between human presence and the local environment.

Boom Festival production is long term endeavour that requires a group of dedicated people to work year-round. Therefore, our pricing takes into account all the running costs for the gap year in between each Boom – monthly wages for staff, taxes, rents, energy, water and other expenses that come with running our organisations. This covers Boomland's maintenance costs and the taxes we must pay, which you can learn more about below.

We would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting Boom Festival. It is due to your ticket purchases that we are able to make this dream come true and work together with everyone while remaining independent and free from commercial sponsorship.

Boom Festival is an independent festival solely financed by the revenue generated via ticket sales and services provided during the event. Good Mood is the company that has produced the festival since its very first edition. Today, two organisations are responsible for Boom Festival:

–Good Mood Lda, which produces Boom Festival

–IdanhaCulta Association, a non-profit entity which manages Boomland

Both organisations are staffed by people connected with Boom Festival, and neither includes members or representatives from external corporations. 

Below you can find a simplified extract of our official financial report, as well as relevant information about IdanhaCulta Association and Good Mood Lda, pertaining to the years 2017 and 2018 and peaking at the times of the Being Gathering 2017 and Boom Festival 2018. In this report, we’ve also included data related to parallel projects, such as events produced for external entities and consultancy services. 

Producing Boom is a two-year endeavour. Revenue generated in 2018 allows both organisations to operate during the gap year between each Boom. This revenue also enables us to employ a monthly average of 35 people all year-round in one of the most disadvantaged regions in the country.  

Neither Boom Festival or the Being Gathering benefit from any commercial nor state sponsorship whatsoever. 

The full report, delivered to the State yearly, is available online. 

By disclosing these results, we hope to provide Boomers with the transparency and respect they so much deserve. Thank you.

Everything that is generated at Boom is reinvested in the festival, in new ideas and dynamics, people, artists, the land, and the infrastructure required to create from scratch such a manifestation of human potential. The revenue is invested in the production of the festival.

It is used to keep the organisation running on a daily basis and to support the dozens of people who work throughout the year. Revenue is also channeled into a grassroots initiative we launched, known as the Boom Karuna Project. A significant chunk is also invested in the festival’s environmental programme through Boomland.

On a bureaucratic level, there’s also the Portuguese licensing and tax system to deal with. Furthermore, because Boom Festival is held in inland Portugal, we estimate that costs are 20-30% higher compared with productions in the main urban centres.
