We've made the shortlist for Best Independent Festival at the Access All Areas Awards 2026!

We cranked the independence-metre up considerably this year, by becoming the UK's first employee owned festival, and it's lush to be recognised for showing that there's an ethical, people-first alternative to the creeping corporate consolidation of our beloved industry, by major conglomerates ✊

There's no public voting on this one, but please keep all your fingers and toes crossed for us! 🤞

Obsessed with these Shambala 2026 snaps by Niamh Grace. The ✨ immaculate ✨ vibes of Hertz So Good, perfectly captured.

The magic of HSG is that the entire venue is run exclusively by people aged no older than 23. From management to build, programming to performers, decor, tech, even the photographers. 100% for the youth, by the youth. And it's always SO. BLOODY. GOOD.

Under 23 and fancy getting involved? Keep an eye out for applications opening in the not too distant! x

Oh Fortuna! ✨

For our 13th edition, we loved turning the wheel to Oh Fortuna! and playfully exploring luck, chance and the encounters that shape our lives.

The theme ran like a stick of rock through ALSO26. . . From the big, mind-expanding ideas and conversations to the immersive experiences, the Saturday Night Spectacular and, naturally, all those unexpected moments that made the weekend ALSO! 💚

Lake days were made for ALSO 🌊

Our gorgeous half-mile-long Capability Brown-designed lake took centre stage this year with oh-so-many ways to enjoy the water.

Hundreds of wild swims, paddleboarding and myriad lakeside moments, it was the perfect place to slow down and soak up the summer.

We’d love to be lounging lakeside…

5pm in late October. It’s properly dark. It’s wet. You’re on your way home, but your brolly keeps blowing inside out and you just got soaked by a car driving through a puddle. All that matters is getting your comfies on, and hibernating.

But in a pretty little corner of Northamptonshire, on the August bank holiday weekend, 5pm looks quite different…

There’s something special about ALSO after dark. 🌙

As the sun goes down, the site come alive in a totally different way. . . Music drifts across the site, lights twinkle through the trees, late night cabaret slinks into life, friends gather for another drink and to dance on late into the night.

But, ah, those su-ummer niyights. ✨

What a night 💃🪩

Huge thanks to everyone that came to the party! We hope that each and every one of you had a wonderful time.

Even bigger thanks to everyone involved in putting the event on, the performers, the pub staff, the door staff and the Lost Horizon Spa crew! We couldn’t do it without you all working as a team, creating community and supporting one another.

We have enjoyed hearing your feedback and encouragement so much so that we are already in talks about hosting another one! 👀

We are in the process of creating a mailing list to help promote these events. We will be emailing everyone that has bought a ticket for our events on Ticket Tailor but if you have only been to our sauna at festivals and you’d like to be on our mailing list, please DM us and we will add you.

Once again, huge thanks to everyone involved.

Together we are magic ✨

Introducing @dj.opher

Having recently moved to London from Manchester at the start of summer, DJ Opher has been busy settling into the swing of London life alongside a busy season in festival fields.
Chris is 1/4 of Manchester based party throwers @Howwemet.mcr, where feel good club music fuses with art and immersive performance to create unique dance floor moments.
