History
The festival began in 1998 and has grown to become the largest and one of the longest running electronic music events in Canada. Festival goers often stop for a meet and greet at the local Boston Pizza in Kamloops BC beforehand as it is on the way from the coast, and provides an excellent hitch hiking waypoint.[3] It is a family-run event, and operates without corporate sponsorship. In the summer months, the ranch becomes home to volunteers & event staff who prepare for and operate the event.[4]
There are seven performance stages: The Living Room, AMP (AMPhitheater - previously the Rock Pit/ The Jungle Pit), The Fractal Forest, The Village, The Grove (previously The Labyrinth, The Portal, The Inner Sanctum), The Grove: Cedar Lounge, and The Pagoda (previously Main Stage).[5]
In the Summer of 2008, a DVD documenting the festival's 10-year history was released. The film "follows different characters through a year in the life of Shambhala from the perspective of DJs, people in charge, medical volunteers and others."[6]
In 2011 and 2012, Shambhala received an awards for Best Large Event at The International Breakspoll Awards.[7][8]
In 2019, it was crowned 'Best Music Festival in North America' by DJ Mag.[9]
The 2020 and 2021 edition of the festival were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The return of the festival took place July 22-25, 2022.
The 2023 edition of Shambhala Music Festival will take place July 21-24, 2023.
