WOMAD – an acronym for the World Of Music, Arts, and Dance – was established in the early eighties by former Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel. WOMADelaide, our city’s take on the original, welcomes over 70 groups from a broad range of geographic and artistic backgrounds to perform across eight stages spread throughout 34-hectares of beautiful green space. The contemporary and the traditional are presented side-by-side, with performances ranging from the quirky and the intimate, to main stage headliners catering for audiences of 20,000+ each day.
WOMADelaide’s program further features large-scale installation works, The Planet Talks discussion forum, street theatre, the “Taste The World” cooking demonstrations, workshops, a design village, and many other unexpected experiences and avenues of cultural discovery.
Extremely family-friendly, WOMADelaide’s atmosphere is exciting, safe and inspiring. It is a magical four days of discovery and immersion in the creative energies of “The World’s Festival”. WOMADelaide is a marquee event in Adelaide’s designation as a UNESCO City of Music, described as “Australia’s new music capital.”
