The Boom Festival is one of the most awaited festivals in Portugal. People used to say that this festival had been moved from Portugal to Brazil and then to Spain. But it was just a false rumour that was circulating in 2002. Fortunately, this spectacular festival will be held once again on the outskirts of Lisbon.
This is a global event, involving people from all over the planet: Europe, Asia, Latin America, United States, and so on. The dates have just been revealed in recent days: from August 18th until August 26th 2010. Are you ready to enjoy a resounding success? Thousands of people are already buying their tickets for the festival. It seems that they are running out! There is also a new radio station that broadcasts the festival’s music. In addition a new project called “Mindstream” will be launched where all types of music will be played: trance, tecno, Dubstep, ambient, glitch, tecno-house, experimental, indie, etc.
There are many shows that can be admired: Incredible DJs, wonderful performances, dramatic readings. Everything here will leave you amazed! You can not miss this great opportunity, not only for the festival, but to see Portugal and its beautiful capital, Lisbon.
The Boom Festival is very important because it has been included among the most respectable events related to the environment. Last year it won “The Greener Festival Award” and it was honoured for its contribution to the nature (trying to reduce the toxic gas in the atmosphere, using public transport, recycling, renewable energy, etc). But it is also famous for its struggle against the brutal exploitation of animals. The festival also features a newspaper, The Daily Dragon, which will be digitized soon. Here all the initiatives and news that happen in each edition of the festival are recollected.
The Boom festival enjoys a magical atmosphere: Thousands of people share this unique location and amazing events. With performances involving the public, it becomes part of the show and everything is overwhelmed by colourful parades. One could say that it is an experience difficult to describe with words. If you want the best accommodation, just take a look to these beautiful apartments in Lisbon and have a great time there.
