Shambala Festival 2026 First Wave Line-up Drop!
They’ve made it to the home stretch of the year – the nights are drawing in, the knitwear is out, and what better way to heat things ups than with a piping-hot helping of Shambala 2026 goodness?
Shambala Festival is setting up for an exciting 2026 with Bob Vylan, punk-grime duo, as their headlining act.
The artists set to perform alongside them are reggae artist Hollie Cook, jazz innovator Emma-Jean Thackray, psych rock group Goat and the amazing band from Soweto, BCUC (Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness), playing their afro-psychedelic future-pop to name a few. Apart from musical performances, the event will feature speakers and non-musical acts, for instance, MP and activist Zarah Sultana.
Their team has been and still 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!
