Shabang is proud to serve up a delectable charcuterie board of talent for any music lover. From notable headliners to breakout artists and genres ranging from indie rock, deep house, disco, folk and more, there’s truly something for everyone. On top of the tunes, performances such as live painters, aeralists, dancers, drum lines and more will spawn across Dairy Creek Golf Course throughout the duration of the festival. Shabang goes beyond the copy and paste parking lot festival, providing a multifaceted experience for all attendees who are looking to find a vibe and melt into it.
Shabang offers all attendees the opportunity to learn newfound knowledge, skills, and appreciation of Central Coast culture. Whether you learn a new instrument, pick up a new style of art, or invent a dance move, you're not just attending an event; you're taking home a lifelong experience!
No need to bring the fidget spinner – with high level art installations every creative mind will be satisfied. Collaborative canvases, statue building, trippy exhibits, art cars, are just some of the installations to keep your creativity fueled between it all. As the day unfolds, you’ll leave with a camera roll full of memories.
Shabang offers 20 different food & beverage vendors from the Central Coast and beyond to satisfy your cravings, fuel your adventure, and expand your palette. Take a break from dancing to explore local craft IPAs and new or classic dishes all while taking in the electric atmosphere.
Shabang isn’t just a music festival, but it’s also your getaway and mental retreat from the school grind or stagnant 9 to 5.
