WOMADelaide has released the first major artist package for its 35th-anniversary edition. The world-music and cultural festival runs from 5 to 8 March 2027 at Adelaide Botanic Park / Tainmuntilla.
Electronics, African sounds and genre-crossing
Underworld is the biggest name in the new announcement, joined by Fatoumata Diawara and Angine de Poitrine. The organisers had previously confirmed Leon Bridges, Madness and Tinariwen. The bill reflects WOMADelaide’s traditional strength: it does not build around one genre, but creates meetings between different musical cultures and generations.
For visitors, the anniversary is more than a label. The four-day format and park setting make early coordination of daily programmes, travel and accommodation worthwhile. Further acts, stage splits and ticket conditions may change, so the official festival site remains the primary reference.
The business angle
A multigenerational international line-up opens distinct opportunities in music tourism, sustainable on-site services, family experiences and cultural partnerships. Credible brands should solve a specific community or visitor need rather than force every genre into a single campaign message.
Summary
WOMADelaide’s 35th anniversary runs from 5 to 8 March 2027 at Adelaide Botanic Park / Tainmuntilla. Underworld, Fatoumata Diawara and Angine de Poitrine join Leon Bridges, Madness and Tinariwen.
