Shambala reveals acts which will play at the acclaimed festival this summer

The festival will be back at its regular home in its ‘secret’ location in the north of the county from Thursday, August 22 to Sunday, August 25.

More than 400 bands and DJs will perform across the festival’s 44 venues which will also host more than 300 workshops during the event.

The main Shambala Stage is described as the festival’s ‘beating heart’ of its ‘musical adventures in utopia’.

During the weekend, there will be performances by The Beatbox Collective, Bob Vylan (pictured), Brushy One String, The Congos, Cubafrobeat, Dam, Eda Diaz, Florence Adooni, Hannabiell & Midnight Blue, Henge, Lazy Habits & Friends, Leyla Mccalla, Mokoomba, Murmuration Choir, Naissam Jalal & Rhythms Of Resistance, Nana Benz Du Togo, Sampa The Great, Sarah Brown Sings Mahalia Jackson and Symphonica Orchestra Ft. Mr Switch.

In the latest update from Shabala, organisers said: “We’re fast approaching sell out for general entry tickets - which we don’t expect to last the week.

“Once these lot are gone, our sustainable travel packages will be all that remains – so, if you’re not up for coming by coach, rail or on a Red Fox cycling tour, we very strongly suggest you get in there, quick.

“The full Shambala 2024 line up and programme is now live. It's absolutely stuffed to the brim, with over 400 music acts and over 300 workshops spread across 44 venues throughout the bank holiday weekend.”

The Shambala festival is about much more than just music and during the four days there will also be discussions on the new wave of UK jazz and the chance to meet the wildlife filmmakers behind Queens – the first series focused solely on female matriarchal species.

There will also be a session with the team behind the hit BBC4 podcast series Witch and comedy with Start Goldsmith’s Big Fat Climate Crisis stand up show.

Festival goers will also be able to take part in punk aerobics, Dolly Parton yoga, house dance workshops and listen to talks by inspiring and radical activists.

Shambala will have activities for children and families, acrobatic and circus shows as well as other cabaret performances.

There will also be the Shambolympic Championships, Disco Dodgeball and Mass Musical Benches.

The limited number of remaining Tier 3 Adult weekend tickets cost £239 before fees.

Discounted weekend adult tickets are available for those who travel to the festival in conjunction with the Shambala Express coach, via rail and shuttle bus or on bicycles.
