Hello and welcome to this year's Shambala podcast series. Our adventures in utopia kick off with a Led by Donkeys double bill. They are a team of disruptors who are all about holding powerful people accountable. This talk was a stand out moment at Shambala Festival 2025. The tent was overflowing and we thought it was only fair to give everyone the chance to hear it again. Their activism is like nothing I've ever seen before. Buckle up and enjoy the ride! ledbydonkeys.org@ledbydonkeys Get your Shambala Festival 2026 tickets here, for more adventures in utopia:https://events.humanitix.com/shambala-festival-2026
