Shambhala Music Festival’s 25th anniversary was an unforgettable milestone.
Held from July 26 to 29, 2024, at the stunning Salmo River Ranch, this year’s festival drew thousands of attendees for a weekend packed with incredible performances, upgraded stages, and seamless logistics that made the experience better than ever.
Here’s what Dylan had to say about our 25th Anniversary bash:
Unforgettable Performances
From Anderson .Paak’s (as DJ Pee Wee) all-vinyl set at Fractal Forest to the father-son duo Live Another Way & KOL’s sunrise set at Pagoda, the performances this year were nothing short of magical. Neon Steve’s Pleasensations set at The Living Room and Jasper Tygner’s immersive show at The Grove were among the highlights that kept everyone moving.
New Stages & Upgrades
The 25th Anniversary event held some hidden surprises, with secret stages offering a fresh and exciting twist to the festival, while the Fractal Forest saw major enhancements with a larger stage and upgraded lighting. These changes turned it into an even more immersive experience for everyone at the festival.
Smooth Logistics & Enhanced Experience
A major win this year was the revamped entrance system, significantly reducing wait times. Attendees were able to get through the gates faster and dive straight into the magic. The improved entry process was a standout change that made a big difference for festival-goers, adding to the overall ease and flow of the weekend.
Looking Ahead
As Shambhala continues to evolve, its 25th anniversary set the bar even higher for what’s to come. With community, innovation, and music at its core, the festival remains a beloved destination for electronic music fans worldwide.
