Mostly A: Cosmic sparkle rainbow pony
Blink and you’re gone, leaving only a meteoric tail of sparkles and rainbows. You’re in fancy dress from the moment you wake up – in fact, you’re not really sure anymore what’s fancy dress and what’s normal daywear. You’re like a big fluffy, bouncing love heart, a care bear incarnate, a butterfly straight out of paradise. However lovable, your friends curse the trail of glitter you leave in their tents.
Area for you: Bearded Kitten
Mostly B: The mung bean greeny
You’ve got a carbon footprint smaller than an ant’s tootsie and you’re not afraid to tell absolutely everyone about it. Shambala was built on people like you: you’re passionate and engaged in the problems our society is facing, and ready to stand up and do something about them. You’ll gladly sacrifice a few showers to save on water and you’re pretty much vegan too. Just don’t go around boasting too much.
Area for you: Permaculture
Mostly C: Professional party-head
You take partying very seriously indeed. You’ve organized your music schedule weeks before the festival and already have it all highlighted in neon on your programme. You’ll be awake all 72 hours of the festival and nothing less, armed with ample water supplies, alcohol, vitamins and Valium – in case it all goes pear-shaped. You’re clad in fairy lights for increased Portaloo visibility, you’ve got a bumbag strapped to you with all the essentials and a camelback for complete hydration at all times. See you front left.
Area for you: The Kamikaze
Mostly D: On ice
So laid-back you’re almost horizontal, you’ve come to Shambala to chill – no one is going to rush you. While you might tag along to the parties with your wayward friends, you’ll be eating nice food, sleeping loads and generally pampering yourself to the max. On the last day of the festival you’ll be radiating health from every pore, while those around you are tinged a funny shade of green.
