Festivals
WOMADelaide holds a special place in the hearts of Vika and Linda Bull. And as they return to the festival after releasing a chart-topping anthology album and going viral during lockdown, the sisters are set to begin a new chapter.
WOMADelaide organisers say the heralded music festival will go ahead in March next year, but Premier Steven Marshall has warned it will likely look very different, saying “tens of thousands of people wandering around the South Australian park lands is not going to be a reality”.
SA-based Arts Projects Australia has announced the appointment of a new co-director, as it works towards presenting a full-scale version of its flagship event WOMADelaide in Botanic Park from March 5-8 next year.
Jamaican musician Ziggy Marley has pulled out of this weekend’s WOMADelaide festival at Botanic Park, citing “unforeseen family responsibilities”.
WOMADelaide audiences will be wowed this weekend by an aerial spectacular that combines performance, projections and music to drive home the effects of climate change through what its director describes as “a live disaster movie in the sky”.
Despite being an internationally renowned deejay – due to play WOMADelaide 2020 – the ‘Godfather of Australian Techno’ still hesitates about performing in his home town.
