So, what’s actually new in the Shambala 2026 App? Quite a lot, as it happens.
This year’s app has been completely rebuilt from the ground up to make it easier to plan your weekend, find what you need, explore the site and keep the important stuff close – even when signal in the fields is doing what signal in fields tends to do.
Here are some of the big upgrades:
A personalised Home page
Your festival hub, with useful content based on where you are and the time of day – all without tracking personal attendee data. It’s designed to help you find the most relevant bits faster, from what’s coming up next to the information you might need at the moment.
The complete line-up, your own schedule and a proper clashfinder
Browse artists, workshops, talks and happenings with a clear timeline, useful filters and a comprehensive clashfinder to help you spot any heartbreaking overlaps before they happen.
You can favourite the artists and sessions you don’t want to miss, build your own personalised weekend schedule, and keep everything saved in one place. You can also add your own custom sessions – perfect for meet-ups with friends, family plans, lunch breaks or anything else you want to remember once festival time starts flying by.
An interactive map built for the fields
Explore the site with a fully interactive map, filters and offline way-finding to help you get around. Use it to see what’s nearby, find key locations and get more familiar with the festival layout before you arrive.
Intelligent search
Search anything and find everything faster, without endless scrolling. Whether you’re looking for an artist, a workshop, a stage, a food trader, a bar, a facility or a useful bit of festival info, the search tool helps you get there quicker.
Custom ‘Find My’ locations
Pin the places you’ll want to find again later: your car, your tent, your campervan pitch, a meetup point, a friend’s tent or any other important spot you don’t want to lose to the festival fog.
Full offline support
Once downloaded and opened before you arrive, the app is built to keep working properly even with poor phone signal. That means your schedule, map and key festival information stay close to hand when you need them most.
Privacy-respecting by design
No account needed, and we don’t track your personal data. The app is built to be useful without being nosy.
The official Shambala 2026 App is available now on Apple & Google Play for £1.99.
Important: You’ll need to download it and open it before you get to site, while you’re still on solid WiFi, so everything is ready to work offline in the fields.
