MUSIC

Shambala is not about huge headline acts dominating the proceedings although the music is always outstanding.  We have been championing fresh and cutting edge talent for years and relish the opportunity to present new bands for you to enjoy and discover.  We believe that the music scene is flourishing, diverse and truly exciting- these bands need to be heard to be believed!

We have well over 200 music acts throughout the weekend ranging from Reggae, Funk, Folk, African, Blues, Jazz, Asian, Latin, Acoustic, Dub, Ska, Drum & Bass, Dub Step, Breaks and more!

Over the next few weeks we will let you know about a few musical treats for Shambala 2011.  To get your taste buds excited, though, we have put together a few musical mixes featuring bands that have played at previous Shambalas alongside of a few that will feature this year!
