I am going for the 2nd time. Last attended in 2016 and really enjoyed it. Hoping this nice warm weather sticks around as a non-welly/walking boot festival is always better in my mind. As someone who got to see Sister Sledge & Anoushka Shankar headline last time I went, I have to say I am a tad disappointed with the line-up as recognised barely any names. But maybe that is more telling of my musical taste than their line-up. Also I am not naive enough to not realise that Covid cancellations will also have had a huge hit on budgets for bookings and the like. So fingers crossed I find something new on the line-up to enjoy long after the festival has finished. Overall really like their general message and ethos which is one of the main reasons for returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest disappointment for me - Kamikaze seems to have gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sku Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 I went for the first time when it was "Shambino" during Covid. It was a much smaller festival, but it was good. You could really feel there was a lot missing though, and something wasn't quite right. Really intrigued to experience the full thing for the first time.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted Sunday at 06:44 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:44 PM I have semi-retired / almost fully retired from festivals. However, I have just put my hat in the ring to 'win' two tickets to Shambala by donating £5 to charity. If it's a win if I win, and if it's a lose, somebody else wins - result. You've got to love the good folk behind the festival. It was the first festival that I went to that was 'green' beyond compare, at that time. Way ahead of the game. Anyway, that's enough of the sycophantic behaviour. It is a great festival though. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way ahead of the game. It's still way ahead of the game and constantly working on improvements. By far the best small medium festival I've been to. I was becoming very jaded with festivals, fully beleiving that they'd all "lost the plot" and no one had any idea what a festival should look like. Then many years ago I took a chance on Shambala and was gob-smacked, they really understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
