Shambhala is back for its twenty-fifth run, and we couldn’t be more excited. Happening deep in the forests of Salmo River Ranch, their hope is ultimately for fans who enter the festival to feel the land’s deep, ancestral connection and to join together for good music. Shambhala will also have a series of experiences along with performances from the likes of Dillon Francis, San Holo, Dr. Fresch, Matroda, and much more.
Take a look at the full lineup:
We have curated a list of artists we are most looking forward to seeing this year. Take a look below:
CLOZEE
CloZee is a name that feels like is always at a distant reach, with word being spread of her impactful and inspirational live sets that aren’t always easy to find in the forests of Canada. Shambhala, however, feels like the perfect home to catch this artist that has been breaking new ground since 2012. CloZee consistently manages to make a mark with fresh album after album, in a scene full of single releases. Managing to create such a discography full of substance makes CloZee a must-see artist at Shambhala’s massive Pagoda stage.
GANJA WHITE NIGHT
Ganja White Night have been setting dubstep on fire since 2018. This creative duo, coming from Hip Hop and Breaks in their earlier days, have tamed a new sound that brings crowds flocking from around the world. Their unique live show elements that can include an array of machines, midi keyboards, even samplers and synths, are something that most acts would say are too challenging to include in a dubstep set. Ganja White Night brings the seemingly impossible fusion of sounds and showmanship to The Village stage, where every bass head gets to lock in to a wall of PK Sound and one of the most prominent bass artists in the scene.
TAPE B
If you haven’t heard of Tape B in the past year, you’ll be sure to hear about him all around the farm before his set at The AMP. If there was an artist that you’ve ever thought about putting a stamp on “OG Dubstep” with a new-school flavor, then Tape B is everything you’ve been missing. Only 5 years since his first SoundCloud remixes, his music has found its way on the world’s largest stages – Tomorrowland, Lost Lands, Coachella, EDC, the list goes on. The slow and heavy style of this young artist has caught the attention of prominent artists such as John Summit to start working with him, and his set at The AMP is sure to catch the attention of thousands of new fans.
SAMMY VIRJI
UK Garage is alive and well and a huge factor in steering that ship is Sammy Virji. The young UK artist has a seemingly unending supply of good vibes and infectious positivity that aligns perfectly with his discography. Sammy Virji has already caught the attention of North America, selling out shows from Florida to Vancouver, with world tour well underway. There’s a new wave coming the likes of what’s been seen in recent years with DNB – UKG has that same energy and Sammy Virji is leading the charge on his way to The AMP at Shambhala.
MARTEN HØRGER
Marten Hørger needs no introduction to bass house fans. Marten has a career like few others – chart-topping hits, tours across the world, and a fanbase that feels like family. Bass House had a resurgence when Marten introduced his new accessible, thumping, rhythmic sound to the ears of dance floors across the world, being named Beatport’s most successful Bass House artist of the year in 2021. Marten’s 2017 #1 hit “You Don’t” also comes alongside his longtime friend Neon Steve – also playing at the Fractal Forest this year. Not his first time at the iconic forest stage, regulars will know this is an artist not to miss.
