Bob Vylan first lit up the Shambala stage in 2024 with one of the most energising, defiant, unforgettable sets we’ve ever hosted. It was loud, joyful, political and deeply connective.

Our audience felt that, and they’ve been asking for them to return ever since, so we’re over the moon to now be able to welcome Bob and Bobby to our fields.

London two-piece Bob Vylan are unique. One vocalist (Bobby) and one drummer (Bobbie). One being a vital and focal mouthpiece, the other a rhythm maker and keeper, one audience ringleader, one master of the calm. They are a band that embraces both chaos and peace, a band that thrives on independence and creating their own path, a band known for mosh pits and pit hugs. They have a unique and ever evolving sound, one that crosses styles and genres, doing away with the traditional and embracing new and more unique sonic dimensions. They incorporate these styles within their music in an attempt to bridge and blend genres and subcultures together. It is this very unique style and sound that has found them embraced by rock, rap, punk, dance and alternative crowds alike.

This band is all about community, and for them, their live show is a place where they can truly express that. With each show starting with mediation, and ending with a group hug. But what’s between the meditative start and embracing end is a message delivered in a way that both Bobby and Bobbie feel has been missing.

"Fiercely relevant, furious punk anthems."
