📋About
Shambala Festival 2026 transforms Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens in the UK into a musical paradise from August 27-30. This eclectic edition features ska pioneers The Selecter, legends of the 2 Tone movement who have fused punk, new wave and alternative rock since the '70s. Trumpeter and composer Emma-Jean Thackray explores the boundaries of jazz, blending free jazz, nu jazz, funk, soul and electro in bold jazz fusion. Reggae vibrations resonate with An Dannsa Dub and their hypnotic dub, complemented by Friendly Fire Band. Shambala celebrates musical diversity in an idyllic countryside setting, creating a unique festival experience where genres meet in a festive and environmentally conscious atmosphere.
