The Shingalings are an 8-piece collective from Bristol who are inspired by dance music’s unique power to bring joy and togetherness to a field of complete strangers. With foundations in a shared love of golden-era Latin records, their music wraps vibrant and diverse dance grooves into a timeless yet fiercely contemporary sound.

Led by charismatic vocalist Drew Salida, the band has become a standout act on the Bristol scene and beyond, known for their explosive life-affirming shows; featuring feel-good piano hooks, fiery horn lines, rapturous vocals, and, of course, those irresistible Latin beats.

Following the release of their debut record “Introducing… The Shingalings” in 2024 and a string of standout festival performances — including a bill-topping set at Glastonbury — the band has attracted widespread attention and acclaim.

BBC Introducing praised their “super infectious energy,” while BBC 6 Music’s Craig Charles featured one of their tracks in his ‘Best of the Year’ playlist, calling it “they’ve really nailed that ’60s New York Boogaloo sound.”

This year the band are thrilled to have been included in the roster of Bristol’s renowned grassroots champions, Chai Wallahs, and are excited to bring the party to their festival stages this year and beyond.

"super infectious energy" ~ (BBC Music Introducing)

(They've).. "nailed that ’60s New York Boogaloo sound" ~ (Craig Charles, BBC 6 Music)

"The Shing-a-lings make middle-aged women drag unknown youngsters up onto improvised dance floors, then shake their backsides with gay abandon and grin until their faces ache. If you don’t leave a Shing a Ling gig thirsty for more, you have no soul. I DEFINITELY LIKE IT LIKE THAT!" ~ Michelle, Facebook user and Shing-a-lings superfan.

"One of the sharpest local things of the past year of two. The Shing-a-lings play Boogaloo [and other related rhythms] with style and a massive sense of fun. Treat yourselves." ~ The Bell, Bath

"Combining new arrangements of Boogaloo classics with their original tunes, the Shing a Lings bring the party— all you have to do is enjoy it." ~ Bristol 24/7
