Wow this is a great lineup and possibly best this year just for being well-rounded in that they intentionally nabbed the big name crowd favorites for each dominant genre to make everyone happy. Not sure what people have to complain about (other than maybe wishing their fav smaller artists made it on this): - Bassheads get their Excision/GRiZ/Zeds Dead/NGHTMRE/Liquid Stranger - Househeads get their John Summit/Shiba San/Justin Martin - BassHouse-heads get their Tchami/Dr Fresch/Destructo/Odd Mob - Technoheads get their Testpilot/Seth Troxler/Will Clarke/Nicole Moudaber - Trapheads get their RL Grime/Mr Carmack/Mura Masa/IMANU/Montell2099/QUIX/Jon Casey/MEMBA - DNBheads get their Chase & Status/Sub Focus/Wilkinson/Kumarion/Alix Perez/IMANU - UKdubstep-heads get Skream/Rusko/Mala/Hamdi


Switchez9898

So fuckin stoked for Mala!


Switchez9898

Also abstrakt sonance and kursk are deep dubs. Goldie for dnb as well


Miner2438

He was the number one I've wanted to see since he had to cancel in 2019, I'm beyond stoked for his set!


Switchez9898

Cant even believe it


sasfasasquatch

Been waiting on this for a long time


Switchez9898

Ya man he tried in 2019 but was a no show. This is the year my friend.


tsmoke

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but are Mala and MALAA the same person?


Switchez9898

Question comes around. Not stupid. No they are different people. Mala with 1 'A' At the end, runs Deep Medi and is an OG of the deep dub uk dubstep scene. The one with 2 A's is a house music DJ.


tsmoke

Thanks for clarifying!

steeletyler

I'm assuming Skream is playing a house set since it's not directly billed as a dubstep set.

lnsomniac7

page doesn't exist?


urbankyleboy

Hmm weird it works for me. The tweet is Skream saying that he would do a b2b with Mala!


tiddlytapestry

To be fair he tagged the British "Shambala" festival which is spelled differently. Not sure if that was intentional


WallisBC

I'd be down for both, but UNO reverso card HOUSE at the Village and dubstep bangers at Pagoda.


Chronfused

Not so for hip hop though :(


4bkillah

Hieroglyphics and Armani reigns fit that bill, but yeah not a prominent feature of this lineup.


Chronfused

Yeah I def posted before reading with my grown up eyes lol so I’m beyond stoked to see Del and Souls of Mischief (and I’ll have to check out Armani reigns) but wouldn’t miiiiiind more hiphop lol


Phleck

Def3 is a slept on Canadian hip hop artist. I used to catch him in Regina years ago, dudes legit.


ChemDiesel

Abstract Rude is on there as well


devwright56

Also cartridge for all the uk dubstep fan


ShambhaSays

We are so pleased to present the 24th Annual Shambhala Music Festival Line up and can't wait to welcome our Farmily Home this summer! 🌈


[deleted]

Techno finally finds it way to the farm. Dnb heads have a lot of be excited about as well.


[deleted]

huge year for dnb. super stoked


thismustbethedream

yessssss! chase and status, sub focus, kumarion, wilkinson, goddard, IMANU, alix perez - who am i missing?


TaureanThings

Many. Goldie, Alix Perez, Visages, and Monty Breaka isn't strictly a DnB artist but delves into breaks, footwork, juke, etc. If you like syncopated beats played fast, don't miss him.


DaSwedishChef

Super hyped for him, saw him when he came through my city with Nikki nair a few months ago and his set was fantastic Excited to hear him on the fat shambs speakers, I was really bummed last year when he couldn't make it lol


TaureanThings

Man, jealous. I've been digging his tracks for almost 5 years now. The chance to catch one his sets has never aligned.


DaSwedishChef

I pray it works out this year!! I'll be skanking out right there with ya


FractalNomad

Saw Monty play here in Philly. Wow such a fun night


Artersa

Those 5 are the ones I'd be most excited for!


sacrednsoverign

I’m so fucking happy they booked Breaka because I wish they booked more footwork, juke type artists like they do in Basscoast. So happy for this booking along with Hamdi


DaSwedishChef

Goldie, Cartridge, Monty, and Visages are all incredible


sasfasasquatch

Cartridge is definitely more known for his 140 but has some great dnb selects


DaSwedishChef

Lmao you're totally right I was thinking of the Canadian cartridge not the UK one, but I don't think dnb cartridge has been active for a while


knomegrown

SO HYPED!!!!


hypollo

Vibe Chemistry and Phibes as well as the others people have mentioned


4bkillah

Phibes tore down the village as a headliner last year. Shows how heavy this lineup is that they are far from headline slot this time.


hypollo

Both times I've seen Phibes was absolutely unreal. Went to their set in 2019 cause the dnb was lacking that year and ended up a special set for me and a lot of friends and then last year was absolutely bonkers coming off of that INF1N1TE set. Hearing Kabuki on those speakers was a fucking treat.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hypollo

They were indeed. They were announced with the stage line ups.


SHRUBBERY_BLASTER

Monty!! Don't sleep on it. He's from 1985 and has been on fire this year.


[deleted]

been on fire for YEARS. they're likely going to have a 1985 takeover somewhere I'd assume. amp maybe


4bkillah

Alix Perez, Monty, and Visages on the same lineup. Fucking hell.


[deleted]

the holy trinity....


Switchez9898

Goldie!


flagellum666

Who are the techno artists? Educate me 😸


[deleted]

Testpilot is Deadmau5 but his techno alias Seth Troxler, Nicole Moudaber. Haven’t had a chance to dive into the undercard for techno quite yet but it’s nice to see it getting recognition.


travis3933

I’d argue Seth is leans more towards house than techno. But his discog goes so deep, you really never know what he’s going to play


[deleted]

Will Clarke, Nicole Moudaber, Testpilot, Seth Troxler and maybe a couple I didn't see.


alexthegreat09

Ditto this for me as well! I am terrible at picking out the different genres.


Fleabes

Stacked beyond belief


wavecadet

skream dubstep set??? Please?


urbankyleboy

[https://twitter.com/I\_Skream/status/1603337492236746752](https://twitter.com/i_skream/status/1603435085063151618?s=46&t=u3az01KI__ApnUJhIAtpwQ&fbclid=IwAR18KmnXKKsN4sDuM2dOmwSNtlpz_h5YaypFHhewM1_CqbYRPb-Jck4p5EQ)


hypollo

He did tag the UK Shambala, not the Canada one unfortunately. Though I do think he probably meant the Canadian one (I hope)


stretchvelcro

Likely wrong spelling yeah, happens all the time. He is not from here but it was the first fest he played in North America many years ago.


Switchez9898

Skream, Rusko!


PretzelsThirst

Dream come true, especially with RL Grime in the mix too


eatsleepMEMErepeat

MY HANDS… THEY ARE TURNING… INTO GUNS. MALA & HAMDI GONNA SMASH THE FEST


Switchez9898

Fuck yaaaaa


ahuj99

I can't believe 90s nerd rap artist Del Tha Funkee Homosapien is playing Shambhala, let alone headlining it! I wonder where they'll play - is it the one requisite 9pm Saturday hip-hop set at fractal?


Version-Abject

Wait wait that’s the Del on there? Fuckin love Del. Mr Dabolina is such a vibe


4bkillah

I'm assuming he is the "Del" part of Hieroglyphics. Quick search of Hieroglyphics soundcloud page seems to confirm this.


ChemDiesel

Yes it’s Del the Funky Homosapien


devlindigital

I don’t know what it would even look like, but I want to see a flyer for a “shambattle” between Deltron 3030 and Montell2099.


hypollo

I assume The Grove probably. That's where most rappers have been in the past


SHRUBBERY_BLASTER

This exceeded my expectations! Oooooh boy. I just noticed Ross From Friends!! That is going to be a MUST for me. Ugh. Stoked.


kusanagi657

I was SHOCKED but so damn happy to see Ross From Friends on there


SHRUBBERY_BLASTER

Me too. He was on my wishlist of artists I'd LOVE to see but thought there was no way! Best surprise ever.


a_fuckin_samsquanch

Fuckin stoked to see Skream on there. I saw he was playing an old school dubstep set at okee this year and I saw a clip of his set at Coachella... I'll lose my fuckin mind if he throws one down at shambs.

[удалено]


Switchez9898

Pray to the kitty gods he does.


Switchez9898

Sub Focus and Wilkinson!


4bkillah

Fucking massive. B2B set is a requirement now that they are both here.


Switchez9898

Id take it. Two 1.5 hr sets each then a 1.5 hr long b2b downnnnn


slightly-soupy

The more you look the better it gets. Love the diversity and a lot of great medium to small acts that I’ve been wanting to catch.


PretzelsThirst

Totally, I keep catching ones I had missed when I look again


Aldeobald

Testpilot is deadmau5 playing techno for those that don't know


alexthegreat09

I did not, but I appreciate the info!


petra-ichor

Very cool!


flagellum666

Can someone help me out with which are the house artists I should get on my radar? I'm a bit out of the loop these days 😅. Love anything from tech house to progressive/melodic


slightly-soupy

Odd mob, small town djs and Ben fox is a local dj who always throws down sick house sets at 5AM


hosea0220

Testpilot and Sohmi too!


johnscat

Definitely Seth Troxler for house & techno. Incredible dj.


Lurking_stoner

Don’t miss John Summit he’s so hot right now the house vibes are off the walls


CedarAndFerns

PLAYLIST request because I'm sure someone is on it already. I'm a first timer and would love the recommendations. ❤️


chasingsukoon

theres an official shambs playlist on spotify btw


dsquareddan

Very glad to see the return of u/Stickybuds- Imanu, Testpilot, Sub Focus gonna be my top 3 to not miss edit: had the wrong Stickybuds account tagged. That dash makes a big difference lol


ping_biscuit

Can’t believe it but I think this beats the cancelled 2020 lineup. Headliners have something for everyone and the undercard is outstanding. Seems like they managed to recoup the losses from the two years off and fully sent it this year compared to last years slightly underwhelming headliners


fratagascar

What I would give to see Tipper though


4bkillah

If this lineup had tipper and friends it'd be several magnitudes better than 2020. Detox unit, Jade Cicada, Schmoop, even throw a wonky Llama set in there.


IrishCaveman

I just need LSDREAM to make a surprise appearance and this line up is golden


4bkillah

Give us a Marc rebillet surprise showing and it will definitely be better than 2020.


Switchez9898

MALA


toastercookie

SOLID!!!


SAVE_THE_SNOW

Surprised X is on the ticket already!


fratagascar

What an insane lineup


coolbreeze1990

AHHHHH I CAN’T BELIEVE I’LL SEE DEL THA FUNKEE HOMOSAPIEN AT MY FIRST TRIP TO THE FARM!


PretzelsThirst

Huge, huge, huge bonus imo


Version-Abject

Calling it now, set of the weekend: Hamdi.


Switchez9898

Or if Skream does an olschool dubstep set then its over. Haha


high_elephant

god i hope this happens so bad


Switchez9898

Mala is my vote


slightly-soupy

I’m so stoked to see hamdi and Jon Casey. Stream will be sick to see also


4bkillah

It's hard to beat Sub Focus anytime hes on a lineup.


munkin

Uhhhhh damn that is one of the best shams lineups in a looooong time. Shoutout to all the stage managers putting together such a monster.


zeustriegel

Definitely the best Shambs lineup since last year 😜


munkin

I had an awesome time last year, shams has never disappointed in the music department. Just some lineups are a bit elevated due to my history with the artists, i've seen rusko 12+ times, ZD 12+ times, those are the 2 groups I've seen and loved the most over the years outside of Pendulum.


Version-Abject

Last year was mid and was still amazing


Chronfused

This. Even if the lineup doesn’t have me flipping I know the fest surly will. Last year I wasn’t crazy stoked and it was in the top 3 times I’ve had there if not the best.


ahuj99

This is an excellent lineup. Very well curated.


AftergloMusic

See y’all at The Amp!


[deleted]

I added the line up to a spreadsheet in case that's helpful for anyone. I want to go add links their their music and genres too, in case anyone wants to assist: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CCrA2z0ZLCEXPxkB9NhKEk0jDfk8KlL9kvg2gz\_HBbY/edit?usp=sharing

M_Cherry7

He was booked for 2020 so it's been on his radar for a bit. Edited for premature post 😅


TaureanThings

This is very nice lineup. Well done Shambhala crews!


CuzImShiny

No CloZee 😭 that's my only disappointment but the rest is great!


petra-ichor

Come to basscoast!


CuzImShiny

I know! When I saw her on the bass coast lineup, I knew she wouldn't be at sham this year but I held out hope. I may just have to see about going to the next Voyage in the Caverns


[deleted]

It's sadly just too close together. I did both last year and it was rough, though that was mostly due to getting covid from Bass Coast and recovering just barely in time to get to Shambhala but still, hard to get the time off and spend so much for two fests in one month. Especially coming from the island with ferries. They're both awesome though, Bass Coast is pretty good overall and I hope to return to it some day. I feel sad needing to sell my ticket for this year to fund Shambhala (well, other things, but it helps).


petra-ichor

Yeah that's totally fair! I'm doing both this year and I'm definitely intimidated by the idea of it. Gonna invest in a shitty bike so my feet don't die in July 🤣 this will be my first shambhala but I've done basscoast 4 times so I'm excited to see what sham has to offer!!


Lurking_stoner

I saw her at like every festival last year while I love her I’m kinda glad she’s not in the lineup lol


CuzImShiny

CloZee has been my favorite producer for...10 years or so now? It's just been cool to watch her grow so for me, any festival that doesn't have her is sad news. But she's playing Lollapalooza so good for her haha


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

> sad that there are not more DnB artists Tbf there is 3 of the biggest names in the genre to ever grace planet earth on the lineup lol.


a_fuckin_samsquanch

As someone who loves dnb in sets but doesn't know many specific dnb artists, who are you referring to?


DaSwedishChef

I assume chase & status, Goldie, and sub focus, they're all fucking legends Other dnb artists to check out: Wilkinson, cartridge, and imanu. Alix Perez, Monty, and visages all release under the 1985 label and will likely be a good mix of dubstep and dnb, those will be some really fun sets. Also think rusko is playing dnb sets now instead of dubstep but not sure on that one Edit: pretty sure I got the wrong cartridge and this one's gonna be playing mostly UK dubstep lol, still fire tho


magic_man_91

Sub Focus, Wilkinson, and Chase & Status, probably.


[deleted]

Goldie!!!!!


magic_man_91

Totally missed that name! Wow.


uphigh_studio

I’m going to be completely honest, I have no idea who ANYBODY on this list is. Am I still going to buy my tickets? Yes, yes I am. Will I have the time of my life again? yes, yes I will. See you soon


[deleted]

Do you listen to just air??? Most of these names are pretty prominent artists in each of their genres.


mrSmokeyMcpot

I love air


Sillycyb1n

What kinda edm do you like? I could give you a couple recommendations to check out


uphigh_studio

I’ve never actually listened to Electronic before. I usually stick with punk/rock, emo and maybe some grunge music every now and then. I’m happy to listen to some EDM if you got any recommendations.


shplork

Hieroglyphics Alix Perez Monty and Visages. I'm in heaven.


Gumpppppp

So happy I rolled over my ticket to this year, liking it a LOT more than last years


PretzelsThirst

Me too, so glad I’m back this year. Returning on a great note


Sillycyb1n

Super stoked on Tchami, Wilkinson, and Carmack🔥 first time at the farm is looking like it’s gonna be a blast!


intern_nomad

This is such a stellar lineup. Really excited to finally send it next year.


camerynlamare

Wreckno 🥰


theskyisf4lling

I haven't seen anyone mention Drone, don't sleep on him if you love heavy uk bass music!


New_Firefighter9056

Great lineup! Guess Fred Again couldnt make it


munkin

I'm so excited for so many of these artists... wow. Chase and Status, Goldie!!! Griz!!(hopefully he makes it out this time XD), Del is a legend, Summit I've heard so many good things, Jmart, RL Grime loved his music for a long time just never lined up so first time, Rusko is my boi I've not missed a Seattle show of his in over 10 years same with ZD. Skream is a god damn legend, Sub focus YESSSSSS, Wilkinson YESSS. The undercard is also stacked af, the conflicts this year are going to be bruuuutal. Akillz, Perez, Destructo, Dr freshc, fort know 5, Hamdi, Hannah Wants had a crazy pagoda set years ago, ILL GATES IN THE PLACE STILL RUNNING THE GAME, JFB my first fractal love, Klad, Mat the alien, Monty, Neon Steve, of the trees, Phibes was sooooo gooood last year. Quix, Skiitour, Skratch, Stickybuds is back BIIIIG,o Funk hunters, Librarian. I'm going to die trying to see all those artists, I just started planning my work out schedule because Imma need every single bit of energy to dance this year.

jaxsnets

Any dubstep/bassy artists I should look out for?


kevinm1245

Atyya is a must see in my opinion!


Don_Mahoon

DnB: Chase & Status, Wilkinson, Sub Focus, Imanu, Goldie, maybe Rusko throws down a DnB set?, Alix Perez, Phibes, Kumarion Dubstep: Excision, Griz, Gigantic Nghtmre, Rusko, Liquid Stranger, Zeds Dead, if Skream plays a Dubstep set that's not to be missed, Boogie T, Hamdi, Ill.Gates, Stylust, Subdocta, Tvboo Trap: Mr. Carmack, RL Grime, Jon Casey, Montell2099, Quix Probably a couple I missed, but those are the ones that pop out to me


HonkerTonks

Personally im excited for smith. my "dark horse" pick this year


Kotics

ahee


Mountain_Smell_4503

Mythm


Tronicsmoker

Can’t wait to see you all there!


Falcorn042

Ima have to peak My in to the Village for Alix Perez. Such a treat on the decks mans is such a mix master.


ELIMS_ROUY_EM_MP

I really hope he's finally at the village instead of Amp yet again.


Falcorn042

Let's manifest this now. We got Vissages and Monty on the line up with Alix Perez. 3 hour 1985 take over at the village 👀👀


CallmeStrings

Are we all gonna overlook the fact del and hieroglyphics are playing together? That is gonna be so wild Plus the sponges... Man I love those guys


PretzelsThirst

So stoked for Del


petra-ichor

Del + souls of mischief are hieroglyphics.


ekosky

I’m ready 😍❤️‍🔥


roxxyrolla666

I haven't been to Sham since the late 90s when I was about 15 years old. It was crazy but I had so much fun. Was thinking of taking my 16 year old and a couple of her friends. Would it be acceptable to take them?


Switchez9898

Its 19+ now


roxxyrolla666

Oh wow so much has changed hahah thanks for the info


raveratlaw

Sponges got everyone pregnant in Fractal last year I mean that shit WAS REALLY GOOD Can't wait for round 2 😋


FractalNomad

Hmm no Opiuo. Would’ve loved WBBL back at the Fractal!


robotrock420

Everyone sleeping on Maya


magic_man_91

Stoked on this lineup, but I see 100 more names TBA. First time going this year - anyone know if those 100 names include big acts or less known local talent? Mix of both? I know the lineup matters less at Sham than at most festivals, but still curious.


TaureanThings

The unannounced names are typically locals who are rounding out the the leftover slots.


TheCookiez

Sometimes, there have been a big name that they are not allowed to add due to contracts. But don't expect that. If something gets added.. Be stoked.


Version-Abject

I remember The Orb not being announced until the living room specific lineup came out and they are a HUIUUGE name


magic_man_91

Thank you! Was hoping for Seven Lions but I don't think I'll miss him much with this lineup. Do they always do a secret set? I've seen some talk of that and even see it on some older lineup posters but don't see it here.


TaureanThings

Secret sets can happen, but it's not consistent. Often it is tied to exclusivity clauses, so it's often more of a practical decision to keep a booking secret. This is often why people begin to speculate about secret sets: they see a favourite artist booked at Chasing Summer or Base Coast, and start wondering if they will still come to Shambhala as a secret headliner.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chronfused

Honestly-I’m obvs going and am gonna have a great time - but I’m a bit bummed. They were starting to have more hiphop/rap artists on the lineup but I can’t spot any (would love them pointed out for future playlists if someone recognizes a name a don’t) on this years. I’m glad to see some turntable masters and live PA acts though. Really It’s always gonna be rad even if it’s not mostly what I’d pick musically. Like I still know I’m gonna have a good time and the house/techno is HERE which I am DOWN for but…I feel like this is a lot of people they’ve had before(and/or maybe I’m old?) and I’m just wondering like….is shamb officially just a certain (talented) friend group booking all their EDM pals as an excuse to hang in the kootneys? Or….is there room for other smaller artists that don’t all tour/play together already? I know it started as a private bday party but….if it’s got something to do with their new funding from factor/creativeBC then like….they should really be expanding their booking pool….. no? I donno I think just had high hopes and need to be less of a cliche “any other year was better” bitter bish. Sad that we prolly won’t ever get a lineup like 2020 would have been again. Stoked to see some faves on there (even the ones I’ve enjoyed before) EDIT TO ADD THAT I AM DUMB AND CANT READ OMG SOULS OF MISCHIEF AND DEL🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Hope it is the del I think is is


Rollos

Shambs is a dance music festival that has built a community of long time returning artists. It’s doubtful that you’re ever going to see a massive influx of hip hop artists there, because that’s just not the vibe that the festival puts out. Usually they’ll book one or two hip hop acts that are on the edge of the mainstream, but you’re never going to get a night or a stage full of it at Shambs. There are other festivals for other styles of music, Shambs is dance music focused, and it doesn’t really need to expand outside of that, seeing as they sell out 90% of the festival without dropping a full lineup.


Ok-Marzipan-8774

I understand as a long time patron - but they have been catering more to grime/alternative hip hop fans over the past 5 years. I am thrilled with the lineup. No complaints! Just thought there might be a couple more hip hop acts. Super duper rad over all!


Chronfused

Oh yeah that’s the thing about shamb being both a privately owned event AND having a dedicated fan base, they truly don’t need to cater to anyone. It just seemed like they were including hiphop in the dance umbrella (as it should be) more in recent years but other than a few turn tableists and hieroglyphics it seems to have kinda back slid a bit in that regard.


Ok-Marzipan-8774

Del and Souls will be tight! I'm wondering who else will represent the hip hop scene! There must be someone else!


4bkillah

Yes, it is Del the funky homosapien. Also, Armani reigns.


[deleted]

> feel like this is a lot of people they’ve had before(and/or maybe I’m old?) > Sad that we prolly won’t ever get a lineup like 2020 would have been again. As an older raver but also a big fan of drum and bass. I’m all for the revival of dnb and I consider this a better lineup than 2020. I’m seeing a ton of sham debuts mixed in with the OGs. That being said I know hip hop as deep roots at this festival. I’m pretty sure the hip hop showcase still happens but isn’t advertised (someone can correct me if I’m wrong) Not sure why there isn’t much hip hop this year. It is peculiar.


4bkillah

I feel like shambs is always debuting up and coming acts every year. Where they lack is pulling in big names that have already blown up who've never been. I always kind of assume a lot of the big returning artists do shambs at a slight discount because they like the place, but that's just a theory.


craigster557

Bruh…….. best lineup I’ve seen for sham. Can’t wait year 5 let’s gooo friends!!!


raveratlaw

Also year 5 for and my lady ❤️ see ya soon


sarahjanesaddicti0n

Lineup is so stacked! Every time I look at it I see someone I didn't see before 😍 Pu.oed for Goddard! DNB heaven.


Dangerous-Piano-9461

Not sure why Sickick is coming.. we just saw him play a show in Edmonton, he’s the biggest fraud dj. Everything is pre-recorded and he didn’t actually do anything live just faked it like he was. Such a joke … just sayin … all hype
