The Village will see new talent gracing its stage this year, along with returning acts that were just too good to not have back in 2015. This lineup is stacked with heavy hitters and is sure to have festival goers beyond thrilled for what’s in store!
Described as a supernatural, sci-fi, Tiki town, The Village features tree forts interconnected by catwalks and bridges surrounding the dance floor. Festival goers can enjoy DJ’s, break-dancers, performance art, turntablists, MC’s, and aerialists through 200,000 watts of premium vibrations supplied by PK Sound.
Tucked deep within the magical old growth forest of Salmo River Ranch lies The Grove – a fully immersive, interactive, ever evolving creative space featuring conscious, mind expanding workshops and live painters during the day. At night, the stage is transformed by a vibrant lineup heavy with world bass music, glitch hop, deep dubstep and garage performers partying into the early morning hours.

Standing boldly and brightly as Shambhala Music Festival’s main attraction, The Pagoda stageconsistently pushes the sensory boundaries while triumphantly touting top notch talent from across the globe. Legends and big names in west coast bass, funky house, and delicious disco drops will be banging it out all weekend long. Friday night, the Dirtybird crew is taking over the stage with Claude VonStroke, Justin Martin, Shiba San, J.Phlip, Kill Frenzy, and Justin Martin.

Known for its loyalty to dance music, festival goers can prepare for an interstellar, audiovisual feast as The Pagoda stage manifests into a mecca of music and a cacophony of sound. This year, the stage is enlisting more renovations, art, lights, decor, sound and video mapping than ever before for the dancing adventure of a lifetime.
Dubbed the “funkiest show on earth”, the Fractal Forest will host over 30 artists in 2015 including the incredible deck talents of A.Skillz, Jack Beats, Amtrac, Jauz, AC Slater, Skratch Bastid, The Funk Hunters, Stickybuds, Dubtribe Sound System, Jesse Rose, Slynk, Fort Knox Five, Jillionaire of Major Lazer, and DJ Zinc who will join the previously announced Mix Master Mike of the Beastie Boys and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
The Fractal Forest will launch festival goers on a journey into enlightenment as they encounter next level audio visual experiences at one of the most unique stages in the world. Pyramids, flowers, and friendly forest creatures shape the enchanted woodland of the Fractal Forest where DJs play in the heart of a burnt out old-growth cedar tree stump, surrounded by a 360 degree immersive, interactive environment featuring the most beautiful dancers on the planet.

The only non-permanent stage and often referred to as the “comfort space” of the festival, The Living Room provides a variety of global genres and electronic soundscapes ranging in the deepest of dub and downtempo, zouk bass, disco funk, groovy house and Latin flavors. Last year, the stage had a keen location right near the river, but with an ever expanding festival and evolving landscape, it’s anyone’s guess where the stage will be located next.
Known affectionately as “The Amp” to festival fans, the Amphitheatre stage has made a shift in recent years towards showcasing more urban beats and innovative bass music producers while still retaining its traditions.

With a variety of music styles to offer each day of the festival, fans can expect to discover fresh new music at the Amphitheatre stage.
