Tickets selling fast as Shambala announces 80+ new artists and talks stars for Northamptonshire festival
Fresh from its transition to becoming the UK’s first employee-owned festival, Shambala has unveiled more than 80 new artists for its 2026 event in Northamptonshire.
The latest wave of acts includes electronic heavyweights Paranoid London, Luke Vibert and Om Unit, alongside a diverse mix of global and emerging talent. They join an already packed bill featuring Bob Vylan, Goat and Orchestra Baobab.
Festivalgoers can also expect performances from Welsh harpist Catrin Finch, London newcomer Summer Pearl and UK-Ghanaian duo Mina & Bryte, while the popular Enchanted Woods area will host a series of late-night DJ sets.
Beyond music, the festival’s talks programme will feature Green Party leader Zack Polanski and transition movement co-founder Rob Hopkins, alongside a UK-exclusive residency from the CERN Festival Programme and Big Bang Collective.
Organisers say the 2026 edition will continue Shambala’s focus on community and positive change.
Tickets are already in high demand, with early tiers sold out and limited availability remaining, although new payment plans have been introduced to improve accessibility.
