The Boom celebrates this year, its 15th anniversary, and welcomes you to join the tribe from 28 July until 4 August around the shores of a stunning lake right in the heart of the Portuguese countryside.
From dance-music shindig to trance-global Mecca, the Boom has become the epitome of the global gathering yet goes far beyond the confines of a music festival. Its cultural program pivots around an intense ethos for the environment and stimulates the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual experience.
