First wave of Shambala acts announced

By Jordan Barker  Wednesday Mar 28, 2018

The first wave of acts to perform at this year’s Shambala Festival has been announced. But the Northamptonshire festival sold out before a single act was confirmed.

For those lucky festival-heads who managed to grab a ticket, there are many great acts to look forward to, including Gentleman’s Dub Club, The Nextmen, DJ Krust, Dynamite MC, Ozomatli ft. Chali 2Na, This is the Kit and Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, and loads more exciting artists.

Music Director, Dan Raffety, says: “This is a line up of discovery and we’re delighted with the range of music that will be at Shambala this year.”

“To sell out before a single act is announced is incredibly humbling!”

The Festival, situated in a secret location, takes place across the August bank holiday (23rd – 26th).
