Dan Sultan, Alice Skye and Troy Cassar-Daley are among the First Nations singers who will join Midnight Oil for their Makarrata Live concert at WOMADelaide next month.
WOMADelaide won’t be held in Botanic Park in 2021, with COVID-19 constraints forcing organisers to “reimagine” the music festival as a series of sunset concerts in a new Adelaide Park Lands venue.
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”.
