Decolonise Fest is an annual London-based, volunteer-run, non-profit DIY punk festival collectively organised by and for punx of colour. For the first time, the collective comes to Shambala for a curated takeover.

It is a space that allows them to advocate for emerging artists of colour, foster a community of like-minded people, connect punx of colour to global struggles against the legacy of colonialism, and indulge in a love of punk together.

Celebrating the many punx of colour creating right now, Decolonise Fest acknowledges the legacy of their elders and the doors they opened, and makes room for more DIY punx of colour to take centre stage and make some noise.

Decolonise Fest centres the experiences of punx of colour, who they define as people who are descended (through one or both parents) from the original inhabitants of Africa, Caribbean, Asia, Middle East, Latin America, Australasia, North America, and the islands of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean, and of Romany Gypsy or Traveller heritage.
