MEET HYPERBOOM
A submicroscopic infectious agent was all it took to bring down some of the more fundamental cornerstones of human civilisation. No need for floods or messiahs. A virus turned our entire society upside down; a society accustomed to worshipping super-humans, trips to the moon and transhumanism. Nature, in all its magnanimity, can also be disarmingly ironic in the age of the Anthropocene. On 13 March we published a letter in which we stated that preparations for Boom continued as scheduled.
As we observed the unfolding of the impact of the COVID pandemic across the globe, our concern grew to consider the potential repercussions of proceeding with Boom , in case this worldwide situation continued deteriorating.
With the Boom Festival, we aim to inspire and nurture human development. Our intention is to enable a state of ultimate unity - Oneness - by holding a space where people can experience a social celebration, bringing together music, art, culture, sustainability, well-being and knowledge, while immersed in nature.
Ultimately, it is an experience of togetherness, closeness, love and peace. Even if the pandemic subsides by July, we must consider that it will take time for society to recover from its psychological impact. This would inevitably hinder Boom from reaching its ultimate purpose.
This pandemic calls for behaviour that is both ethical and responsible. Guided by our principles, especially those of Humanism and Oneness, to preserve public health, Boomers and the Boom spirit; following the guidelines expressed in the decree-law n. It is our belief that before this date it will not be feasible to provide the necessary health and safety conditions to host Boom Festival, neither equitable access for Boomers around the world.
The world as we know it has radically changed in a way that is difficult to describe. On 26 March, one-third of the human population was under either suggested or mandatory isolation. We have been told to self-isolate, to maintain social distancing, to abstain from kissing, hugging and touching each other. Events have been cancelled, clubs shut down and borders closed. Our supply chains have shattered to pieces.
There is trauma. There is fear. Instead, we expanded the spatial limits within which fear has confined us: we stood on our balconies and we sang; we organised streaming events to keep music in our lives and we — Boom Festival — teamed up with members of the global psychedelic community to create a new collective online space. Since the beginning of March , our teams based in Lisbon and Porto have been working from home. Our entire production schedule has been affected. Our organisation depends on ticket revenues to survive and it is that support that has been essentially financing our existence and operations since the beginning of At the moment people are working daily for the festival.
In May this figure was expected to rise to In June, the Boom team was supposed to be composed of people of more than 35 nationalities and those figures would have kept rising until the festival. The construction of Boom Festival takes several months to accomplish, as we build practically everything from scratch and with meticulous attention to detail. At the moment supply chains are being interrupted, factories and suppliers are discontinuing their services, and the necessary materials are not arriving on time.
Those who do manage to get here must remain in quarantine for at least 15 days. The overall scenario is crippling the construction of architecture and art projects. Boomers from the worldwide community representing countries and territories confirmed for this year are reaching out to us every day, concerned with travelling restrictions and not being able to make it to the edition.
We are all facing a tragic scenario. We may decipher it in different ways: from conspiracy theories to lessons from nature, our animal-based nefarious food habits, or even flaws in the institutions which exist to protect us.
It is a disaster at both local and planetary scale, at individual and collective levels. The unknown is sabotaging our present and holding our future hostage. The superhuman narrative has to come to an end.
This year is meant for reflection, regenerating ourselves and, most of all, cooperation. We must more than ever trust human knowledge to find a cure. We have to create new paradigms.
The first is between totalitarian surveillance and citizen empowerment. The second is between nationalist isolation and global solidarity. Let's never lose hope of finding a silver lining. COVID has undoubtedly become an eye-opener. It has already taught us new ways of thinking about our lifestyles. Pollution reduction and its benefits are becoming evident. Confinement encourages us to learn about self-sufficiency and resilience. It also pushes us to search for local solutions to supply chains.
It might even help us to realise it is possible to break away from mindless consumerism, and that an act of solidarity is more valuable than the latest gadget.
We should be confident in our future as a species. In that same way, we believe that your support will keep Boom Festival alive , as an independent cultural project that subsists on ticket revenues alone. This has been and will keep being a very difficult period. Boom would have been the best edition so far. Boom will be not only that, but also a major celebration of our humanity.
Boom Festival will not be cancelled, but rather rescheduled to 22 - 29 July Full Moon. Boomers who are already in possession of a Boom ticket can attend Boom All this is done without any additional costs. Shows which did not take place must, firstly, be rescheduled within a year starting from the date in which they should have taken place, to begin with. If the show is rescheduled within this timeframe, the ticket holder may attend the event on the new date.
The promoter cannot increase ticket prices. The ticket holder cannot demand a refund for an event which was rescheduled as opposed to cancelled.
The rescheduled event cannot imply an increase in ticket prices for those who had secured their ticket up until the date of the rescheduling. All the revenues from Boom tickets will be used to finance the festival in Boom Festival relies on support via ticket revenue to survive. The aforementioned Portuguese law is able to find a compromise between the promoter and the ticket holder. Still, we acknowledge that some Boomers may not be able to attend the festival in July Given the present global situation, it is not possible to define a date for launching the platform yet.
Countless variables, which are out of our grasp, may influence this date. This platform will only be made available once the situation has normalised and countries around the world are no longer under an emergency state. This is to ensure the process is as fair as possible and that all Boomers can access it equally. Please subscribe to our newsletter to remain informed about all our latest updates.

Somos um festival que visa o desenvolvimento humano. Cancelam-se eventos, fecham-se as fronteiras e clubs. Existe trauma. Cresce o medo. Neste momento trabalham pessoas para o festival.
A narrativa do super-humano acabou. De confiarmos no conhecimento do ser humano que nos pode dar a cura. De criarmos novos paradigmas. Vai dar-nos ensinamentos, ajudar-nos a repensar as nossas vidas. Incita a sermos mais auto-suficientes. Ao apoio a cadeias de abastecimento locais. Sem custos adicionais. EN PT.
