Shambhala Music Festival Organizers Cancel 2020 Installment Due To Coronavirus

55

Shambhala Music Festival canceled its 2020 event due to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. The festival was set to take place July 24 – 27 in Salmo, British Columbia, Canada.

Scheduled to perform at Shambhala 2020 were DJ Premier, Ekali, Rezz, RL Grime, Seven Lions, Tipper, Tycho and more. Organizers are confident the festival will return in 2021. Tickets for the 2020 event will be honored at any of the next three installments.

Read a statement from Shambhala organizer Jimmy Bundschu below:

Dear Shambhala Farmily,

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we must announce the 23rd Annual Shambhala Music Festival, originally scheduled for July 2020, will be postponed to July 2021. The festival will be held at the same location it has called home since 1998: the Salmo River Ranch. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience our postponement may have caused, and we give our full support and recognition to Dr. Bonnie Henry and her colleagues for the difficult decision they had to make.

Shambhala is not only a music festival, but it’s also a yearly reunion with our Farmily and a time to return home to ourselves. It’s a place where we can freely express ourselves without reservations, and to lose that this year is devastating, however your safety is what is most important. It has always been about the people on the dancefloor, and we know once we are all reunited again, it will be a Shambhala to remember.

At this time, our hearts and thoughts are with anyone who has been affected directly or indirectly by COVID-19, including the healthcare and essential service workers doing their best to serve their communities during these challenging times.
