– evan274: “Probably their worst lineup in years if I’m being honest.”
– PsychedelicPlush: “I think it’s solid. I’m happy for my friends who are going … but it’s Forest for me. See y’all in June.”
– m4gnum1: “Head liners are super mid but undercard is for.”
– Kayz77: “The fact alone they are having Boris Brejcha is a win.”
– Apprehensive_Star_82: “It’s my first Shambs so I’m stoked 😊”
Other commenters flagged that this phase feels less local than previous years and said they missed acts like Father Funk. Overall the thread skewed mixed-to-positive: some attendees are excited for the undercard, while others expected stronger top-billed names.
