Shadowlands is a boutique music festival at the Gulbenkian Arts Centre on the University of Kent campus in Canterbury, with capacity limited to 450 tickets per day.

The programme focuses on alternative, electronic, avant-garde and experimental music. Live concerts sit alongside film screenings, panel discussions and artist Q&A sessions.

The audience is primarily adult experimental and electronic music fans, although the event is listed as all ages. Its indoor arts-centre setting uses theatre, cinema and concert hall spaces rather than open-air fields.
