Final WOMADelaide Lineup Revealed

WOMADelaide is a festival you do not want to miss out on! The full 2018 line-up has been realised and it’s epic.

WOMADelaide has announced their final lineup and we are stoked!

A mammoth 54 additional groups and projects have been added – including 28 internationals – for the 2018 event, to be held from 9-12 March in Adelaide’s Botanic Park. The final lineup includes New York’s gypsy punks, Gogol Bordello; American bassist-singer Thundercat (Hello…To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar) and breakout Israeli hip-hop artist Victoria Hanna.

From Australia, a vast range of musical territories will be covered; indigenous rising talent, Baker Boy, songs from the Russian heartland by Dustyesky, the hip-hop collaboration of Remi x Sampa (Remi Kolawole and Sampa The Great); the return of Mama Kin after eight years in the form of her new project Mama Kin Spender (with Tommy Spender and a 16-piece choir); grammy award nominated Nai Palm and the vintage sounds of Tex, Don & Charlie.

WOMADelaide Director Ian Scobie AM, said “It is so exciting to be able to reveal the entire program, which crosses so many new boundaries, and countries as varied as Ghana, Sweden, Cape Verde, Turkey, Cameroon and PNG, as well as highlighting major projects in dance, circus and the visual arts. The 2018 festival is a true celebration of the wealth of musical and creative invention from some of the world’s most original, brilliant and adventurous artists”.

WOMADelaide never disappoints and by the looks of things…2018 will be no different.
