The Boombastic Festival is slated to attract up to 20,000 attendees each day in Benidorm, starting Thursday. The Benidorm City Council General Assembly hosted the session earlier this week to coordinate the event’s security and operations, with the Sports City William Love acting as the central coordinating hub .
Representatives from the Festivals and Citizen Safety Departments attended, along with Councillors Jesús Carrobles and Lorenzo Martínez, local and national police forces, Civil Protection, Firefighters, and the supporting Boombenidorm AIE team. The organizers reported a daily capacity near 20,000 people and Councilor Lorenzo Martínez stated that both Local Police and National Police have prepared a safety plan that scales with the event’s size. The National Police Corps will deploy officers from the UIP and the UPR, while the Benidorm Local Police will supply officers and command staff. Civil Protection has arranged two response shifts to ensure continuous coverage .

Benidorm Low Festival closes a record press
To prevent overcrowding, the organizing company will run a pre-verification service at the same Plaza de SS MM Los Reyes de España location, on Wednesday from 17:00 to 22:00 and Thursday from 10:00 to 14:00. The approach mirrors practices from prior events such as Reggaeton Beach Festival and Low Festival to streamline entry and improve crowd flow .
Additionally, the swimming pool at Ciudad Deportiva Guillermo Amor will reopen after the festival ends, once dismantling is complete and the municipal laboratory confirms water quality. Councillor of Sports, Mariló Cebreros, noted that the pool will resume its usual program once these checks are clear and the facility is safe for public use .
