After this year's abbreviated version (due to COVID), in 2022 WOMADelaide will again return to its spiritual home in the picturesque surrounds of Adelaide's Botanic Park 11-14 March, celebrating its 30th anniversary with its traditional seven-stage format.
"Since the first event as part of the 1992 Adelaide Festival, WOMADelaide has evolved into one of Australia's leading large-scale outdoor festivals of music, arts, dance and immersive discovery," Director, Ian Scobie says."We are delighted to confirm that next year's festival will be held in its traditional multi-stage format in Botanic Park.
"Over three decades, WOMADelaide has presented an extraordinary range of eclectic cultural experiences both on stage and throughout the lush surrounds of Botanic Park.
"In the coming weeks we will reveal the first glimpse of the 2022 programme, which will bring together past festival favourites and artists performing with us for the first time, in a fitting celebration of 30 years.
"While the ongoing international border restrictions mean that the programme will showcase predominantly Australia-based artists, festival-goers can still expect to discover the diverse, global music flavours for which WOMADelaide is renowned."
This year, WOMADelaide was staged as four separate concerts featuring the likes of Midnight Oil, Tash Sultana, Archie Roach, The Teskey Brothers, Lior and Sarah Blasko.
Adds Premier of South Australia Steven Marshall about the 2022 event: "WOMADelaide is an iconic event that all South Australians are proud of, and one that has given countless fond memories to people of all ages across the nation.
"I am thrilled to hear this news and have no doubt that the festival's 30th birthday back in Botanic Park will be a truly memorable occasion for artists and audiences alike."
