THE NIGHT

What you’re here for

  • Chill Out Gardens
BASE CAMP

Where to stay

  • Lisbon is three hours away
BETWEEN IT ALL

What to eat

  • Site kitchens, largely vegetarian
BEFORE YOU BOOK

Know before you go

  • Choose Boom Bus/tent camp or campervan before sales; then wait for the 2027 living guide rather than importing 2025 access and pre-camping rules
  • Boom is biennial and 2027 is the real edition - not an “odd-year off.”
  • The arrival queue, heat, dust, water and eight-day duration make base-building part of participation
