Shambala Festival
SHAMBALA 2026 FIRST WAVE LINE-UP DROP 💥
Our team has been busy conjuring one of our biggest and boldest line-ups yet - an eclectic, electric, boundary-busting selection of artists, poets, legends and soon-to-be favourites. Time to lift the lid…
Back by popular demand after a blistering show in 2024, we're over the moon to welcome punk-grime powerhouse duo Bob Vylan back to Shambala! They're joined by psych-rock titans Goat, audience faves BCUC, Mercury Prize-nominated jazz innovator Emma-Jean Thackray, much-loved reggae luminary Hollie Cook, 2-Tone trailblazers The Selecter, genre-defying collective Penguin Cafe, dream-pop darlings Night Tapes, acclaimed poet-performer Joshua Idehen + a whole heap more!
Our first non-music names for 2026 also include Zarah Sultana MP, performer and activist Kate Ireland, poet Georgie Jones, and the brilliant minds behind BBC Child.

With hundreds more artists, speakers, wonders and wildcards still to come… this is just the beginning.
