This week, we hit our trusty design team with one of our tricksiest challenges yet: squishing all of this Shambala goodness onto a single line-up graphic. As ever they’ve absolutely smashed it, and we’re buzzing to share all this delicious newness with you! Feast your hungry little eyes…

First up, Senegalese legends Orchestra Baobab serve up an irresistible slice dancefloor soul, Nubiyan Twist return with their signature brass-fuelled jazz, funk and afrobeat, and Reggie Watts brings a whirlwind of surreal beatboxing, improvised comedy and musical mischief to the fields!

Also joining the party: sun-drenched psychedelia queens Los Bitchos, bass-heavy Bristol firestarter Grove, legendary DJ Jamz Supernova – plus Prima QueenDub Colossus, Avalanche KaitoSababa 5, Joshua Burnside, Lisa Knapp & Gerry DiverMalin LewisWaldo’s GiftMeduulla, Cazelle Cafe, RuMac and heaps more to discover!

We’re also packing in poetry performances from UK Slam champs Tyrone Lewis and Rick Dove, thought provoking spoken word from Brighton-based activist and academic AFLOa dose of righteous theatrical rage from Naomi Wood and a slice of surreal chaos with punk cabaret creator Sophia Lucia.

A quick note on Tickets & payment plans while we’ve got your eyeballs…

After this year’s Young Adult tickets sold out faster than ever, we’ve created a new Tier 2 Young Adult ticket for 18-25s, priced at £255.

Tier 2 Young Adult tickets are limited, and based on how fast the first round went, we expect these to sell out quickly – so if you’re eligible, grab yours while you can!

Tier 1 and Tier 2 Adult Weekend tickets are completely sold out and Tier 3s are flying fast.

All Shambala 2026 tickets are available on payment plans, but there’s now just 10 days left to secure yours on a five month plan, and pay less than £70 per instalment. And don’t forget, Green Traveller Tickets come with a tasty £40 discount!

That’s all for now – have a lush weekend folks!
