Hi there
Me and a friend really want to attend but we are worker bees and would love to stay busy. If anyone has the link on any vendors looking for work or anything at the festival like that I would genuinely appreciate it. Also it's the week of my birthday and I have never been outside of the states so it will be an extra special gift. Thank you for your time
Just saying 😉
Boom is meant to be a space where you can fully let your guard down — and in that heat, love & joy people get pretty open and exposed - if just dancing, doing d**gs, rockin minimal to no clothing, or all of the above ;)
That only works because we trust the people around us to be present with us, not filming us.
The rules say "unplug to connect" and ban "invasive cameras." Great in spirit — but that was written for a world where you could actually see the camera. Camera glasses like Ray-Ban (no, not Snap ;)) are cheap now and built to record unnoticed. A rule that depends on spotting the lens does nothing against a device made to hide it.
And not everything filmed gets shared in Boom's spirit. Long POV clips end up online (from youtube to xxxsites - check the LINK in my EDIT), some pretty clearly hunting for people at their most uninhibited or undressed — filmed by someone they never saw or agreed to. People trusted the space, and that trust got used against them.
So maybe:
- boom could point out plainly that filming people without consent (phone, glasses, whatever) isn't a grey area;
- actually name and maybe ban wearables/covert recording, since the current wording predates them;
- makes this an awareness-topic. what to do if someone feels uncomfortable about a situation like being (secretly) filmed
what do you think about it?
EDIT: topic is not new and discussed already. but as tech is evolving, it stays relevant and need attention.
Hi, I’ve been to Fusion for the last 5 years and I absolutely love it. It’s my favorite place on earth. As Fusion is taking a break next year, I want to go to Boom. Any tips for a first timer? Is the ticketing system a lottery as well or is it first come first served? Should we stay the whole week? How to deal with the heat during the festival? I am open to any tips you can give. Thanks in advance!
Hey guys I'm 23M & I'm gonna attend boom next year and I'm really excited as it's my first European psy festival. However I'm doing this solo as NONE of my friends are into the psy scene. I have dreamt about this since a long time and I'm really excited but a bit nervous too as I will be alone so far far away.
I'm looking for solo ravers/groups looking to have a great time together & connect beforehand to ensure comfort! Feel free to DM
Also I've been learning Spanish & portuguese so would love to have someone to converse with!
PLUR!
hello boomers, i’m going to Being Gathering and thought to get secondhand on Ticketswap. however a warning pops up that they cannot change names and there may be a refusal of entry…
anyone know if it’s possible to enter without changing names or if it’s possible to do this on the original buyer’s end? 🩵🌈
Hello everyone! Is anyone going to the weekend Being Gathering this year? If anyone is going from the south of Portugal and is needing a ride, just let me know by sendind a DM!
Dear Boomers
I'll be attending the 2027 Boom Festival for the first time, coming from the US.That's why I don't have a community or any connections.I have some THC gummies, but I'm not confident about crossing the border on a flight with them... Like me boomers, who are participating from overseas and have no connections or community here, How to bring any substances?I found a few articles saying that it’s possible to source items locally, but it seems scams are rampant.If you have any good advice or lessons to share, I would really appreciate it if you could let me know.
Thank you.
Hey Boomers!
Does anyone happen to remember what all or at least some of the dishes on the Lebanese food stand in the main food court were in 2025? I loved their food and would want to recreate or at least grab some in a restaurant. But I cant seem to recall most of the options 🥲.
I can recall fatayer but that's about it haha.
They sent an email this month, and one point says “70% of projects performing on one of our four music stages will not have played in 2025”
pessoal, alguém tem foto interna da Tipi para duas pessoas? no site não tem, eu gostaria de ver imagens do acampamento na parte interna
We are searching for information when being gathering will actually be opening the doors. Anyone knows?
