Watch Boom Festival

We found no official livestream of Boom, and its official YouTube channel shows no festival sets for 2021 or 2026. The festival's own app lists livestreams among its features. Most footage you can find is fan-uploaded sets and recorded sets posted after the festival, so expect to follow along from clips rather than a live feed.

2025Boom Festival app
The Android app went live on 4 July 2025 and lists livestreams among its features, alongside news and schedules.[1]

No stream has been announced for 18–25 July 2027; if there is one, expect it to be announced through the Boom app and official channels closer to the dates.
