Shambala 2026

Drop the outside world at the gates and dive into four days of Adventures in Utopia…

Whether you’re a meticulous planner or a barefoot wanderer, the official Shambala 2026 app is designed to help you squeeze every last drop of joy from your weekend.

One of the UK’s last truly independent festivals, Shambala takes place over the August Bank Holiday Weekend at a gorgeous Northamptonshire countryside site, with stunning lakes, lush flat fields, woodlands and meadows.

Expect an astonishing array of things to do and see: hundreds of genre-busting musical acts, world-class performances, inspiring talks, captivating art installations, acclaimed poetry, hands-on workshops, and one of the best kids’ areas on the circuit.

We’re also proudly pioneering when it comes to sustainability: meat and fish free, single-use plastic free, 100% renewably-powered, and we’ve reduced our carbon footprint by nearly 90% over the past decade.
