The four-day open-air festival is returning in March, with a selection of some of the world’s most talented performers. New additions to the lineup include a reunion of French outfit The Original Gypsies, actress/social activist/modern African music luminary Fatoumata Diawara, alt-rock legend Liz Phair, and Estonian violinst/loop artist Maarja Nuut & Ruum.

 

 

Representing Australia are a host of homegrown heroes such as Melbourne-based soul singer Thando, folk extraordinaire Thelma Plum, and three-time ARIA nominee Mojo Juju, who will return to the WOMADelaide stage for the first time in three years.
