Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark

More orchestras then you can shake a baton at!

The program is fully confirmed and the line up for Shambala 2011 is looking more impressive than ever. We even have 4 orchestras lined up for the more high brow amongst you...

The Hidden Orchestra

The Hidden Orchestra have been wowing crowds and winning fans worldwide with their organic blend of deep smokey jazz, heavy beats and a great live show featuring two live drummers. Check out their live video.

The Shambala Beatbox Orchestra

For years beatbox artists have battled one another, performing mostly as lone soldiers.... it's now time for them to stand tall and unite. We have commissioned a unique and exlusive show featuring 6 of the UK's most recognised beatboxers: YasSon, Reeps One, Marv-ill Superlungs, Bass6, Bellatrix and MC Zani. They are currently writing and rehearsing hard. They're getting excited, we're getting excited- are you?

The Alternative Dubstep Orchestra

Birmingham based, 15 piece collective of musicians and DJs who bring a new and ever evolving live element to the heavy, twisted bass music. This collaborative, ongoing experiment regularly features a fiddler from The Destroyers, a 3 time DMC World Champion, percussion from Overproof Soundsystem and the Dhol Blasters and never ending stream of special guests. 

Submotion Orchestra

With a focus on live musicality and originality, their take on dubstep has won respect from cutting-edge bass bods and discerning dance music fans, to dedicated soul and jazz heads. Their fresh, debut album, "Finest Hour," has received stunning reviews. Check out their site.
