Music Democracy is Here

Voting has begun and it's very close

Our belief is that everyone who comes to Shambala, should have a direct input on how the event looks, feels and sounds.  This year, we introduce "Sham-Bands" in which YOU decide on who plays. Voting has been feverish check out who's in pole position.  There are 9 slots available in total- one a day on 3 different stages.

Over in the Kamikaze front runners are: The Water Melons, The Rude'em Outs and Hannibal Selekta, but there are quite a few other acts snapping at their feet.

Sankofa's Yurt has 3 early breakers: Velvet Engine, Oo La Lume and Fille De La Lune.

Last but not least, the raucous Chai Wallah's has a mighty battle on it's hands between Mizizi and Sickwax with acts such as Ben Russell and the Charmers hot on their heels.

All in all it's still all very close and you can make the difference.  Everyone that is on our mailing list now has the chance to make their voice heard.  So, peruse the acts, listen to their tunes, check their websites and then cast your votes!  You each have 3 votes- 1 for each of the following stages: Sankofa's, Chai Wallah's and The Kamikaze.

The voting period lasts till June 15th, so make a cup of tea, check the acts (about 70 in total) and make your mind up.
