Hi,

I'm thinking about ordering tickets for me, my girlfriend, and 2 and a half year old little girl.

Can you tell me how many people go to the festival?

Also, we're not going to be able to get there until Thursday night. Will there still be space in the family camping field at that time, or does the space fill up quite quickly?

I've only really been to Glastonbury before, and the camping space fills up VERY quickly there. Is it the same here?

Finally, if you've been before, where is it normally held? and when do you find out the actual location?

If you can answer any of the questions above it'll be a great help.

Thanks

Mark

Our first Shambala this year too.

After many years of doing Glasto wanted to try a smaller festival with a Glasto vibe ready for no Glasto next year.

More and more each year I find I spend more time at Glasto at Jazzworld / circus / cabaret areas , so Shambala looked a good choice.

Couple of questions for those that have been ..

Does much go on during the Thursday?

How do practical things like loos & camping compare to Glasto?

Any other tips / advice for first time Shambala goers?

Always wanted to play at Shambala? Now is your chance!

Following the roaring success of their Making Tracks shows in London, where fresh and exciting short films are given live rescores by The Cabinet of Living Cinema, Whirlygig Cinema are taking this groundbreaking event to The Lost Picture Show at Shambala. But instead of having a professional live re-score band perform the soundtracks to films, they are opening it up to the general public.

So we are looking for a bunch of people who have a ticket for the festival and are up for getting involved in this exciting experiment. The idea is simple: we play the films, and you play the music in front of a live audience. If you’ve always fancied yourself as the next Michael Nyman or Hans Zimmer, now is your chance! Find out more...

first time for me too......brought a ticket from e-bay that's included a camper van pass. Can anyone tell me whether the camper van field is inside or outside the festival? Don't fancy putting up a tent in a field that's outside, in which case would there be a problem with us leaving the car in the camper field and walking the tent over to the main area and camping there?

Also heard there is a silent disco thing after 2 so does the site keep going all night?

We have a load of return train tickets from London St Pancras to Market Harborough(nearest station to Shambala) for sale (going spare after they were originally bought for getting festival crew to site).

They are return tickets, leaving this Thursday morning from St Pancras and on Monday afternoon after the festival from Market Harborough.

We are selling them at £15, at least £5 cheaper than the going rate. Message me with your number if you are interested.

Thanks!

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
