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. A seven-day celebration of Peace, Art, Environment, Psychedelic Culture and Love, the Boom invites a spectrum of international artists that cross multiple genres to perform at various stages across the festival. DJs, producers and live acts from the global underground of psychedelic trance music will converge at the infamous Dance Temple. Artists at the Alchemy Circle stage explore the sounds of psy-bass, dark prog, dub-step, new world music, deep techno and the sounds of dub, while the Ambient Source becomes a haven for pure music-magic-meditation-vibration. With the festival’s Healing, Sacred Fire and Liminal Village areas, the Boom triggers a multi-sensory experience that will stay with you forever. It’s gotta be done at least once, so come and join the tribe for an epic experience in 2012! BOOM! MUSIC HIGHLIGHTS… The Dance Temple: This is the heartbeat of the Boom!
