Shambala

Fiercely independent, sponsorship free, proudly daft - Shambala returns for another round of adventures in utopia.

Pioneering, intimate, and truly innovative, Shambala is as well known for its eco-credentials, family-friendly nature and open-minded crowd as it is for its line-up. 100% renewably powered, disposable plastic free and vegetarian, Shambala have successfully reduced their carbon footprint by over 90% in the past 10 years.

Green achievements aside, this is first and foremost a legendary party - powered by reggae, funk, soul, disco, D&B, electronica, jazz and global sounds. Bursting at the seams with creativity, music, performance and participation - the fact it's known to sell out before the line-up is released says it all.

Each year a theme is set for Shambala's legendary Saturday carnival, in 2025 as voted for by the people, it was 'Pun Intended'

Asian Dub Foundation, Fat Dog, and Grammy Award-winning Digable Planets all took to the Shambala stages in 2025, along with a whole host of others!

If you want to bring a child to Shambala, you need to follow our kids procedure - find out more information here.

Once you submit your child application form to Oxfam, we’ll endeavour to secure the relevant ticket on your behalf, as it's not possible for you to buy a child ticket yourself without also buying an adult ticket.

Please be aware that we only have access to a limited number of tickets for children, and we'll let you know if we can facilitate.

If we can secure a ticket for your child, we'll deduct the cost from your deposit.

As a Crew ticket holder, you'll have the chance to travel to Shambala on one of their crew coaches departing from Bristol or London, and dropping you straight to the coach pad on site (and back to your departure city again on Monday)!

In 2024, Shambala's crew carbon footprint dropped as more of you lot came on our crew coaches or car-shared! Arriving by coach creates just a quarter of the emissions of coming by car, so we’re offering the opportunity to come to Shambala via crew coach again. Crew coaches provide a low-emission and stress-free travel option, allowing you to connect with fellow crew members along the way.

Free crew parking is available on site.
