A heartfelt call from a Black Shambhala attendee to connect during sets by Channel Tres, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Flying Lotus has sparked an inspiring movement of community at the 2025 Shambhala Music Festival.
On the r/Shambhala subreddit, a third-time festival-goer noted the noticeable scarcity of Black festival fans and expressed a desire to expand that circle—rocking an alien onesie as a beacon of welcome. Their post resonated strongly, prompting the community to organize a casual meetup on Thursday, July 10, 2025. This meetup brings together Redditors and new friends alike beneath a blue canopy between the Fractal Forest and Living Room stages, marked by an orange Reddit Snoo on the festival map.
Shambhala’s lineup this year boasts an eclectic and inclusive mix, with Channel Tres, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Flying Lotus among its headliners — perfect backdrops for forging fresh connections and celebrating diversity in the festival crowd.
This self-driven meet and mingle push amplifies Shambhala’s vibrant spirit: a place where community and music collide to expand not just the beats, but the bonds too.
