The wait for the WOMADelaide faithful is finally over. Australia’s most exciting outdoor festival of music, arts and dance today announced the final 20 groups for its exceptional 20th anniversary festival program.

Today’s announcement, led by West African superstar Baaba Maal, completes the extraordinary line-up for the four day festival, to be held in Adelaide’s beautiful Botanic Park from Friday 9 - Monday 12 March.

Festival Director Ian Scobie said that Baaba Maal’s return to the festival after an absence of 13 years will be a definite highlight of the weekend.

“We are privileged to have an artist of the calibre of Baaba Maal doing an exclusive Australian performance on Monday 12 March at WOMADelaide,“ he said.

With 16 studio albums under his belt, Baaba Maal has become a musical force, not only within West Africa but the world over. Renowned for his exhilarating live performances and willingness to experiment with different musical traditions, he has performed everywhere from London’s Royal Albert Hall to Glastonbury and the Live Earth Concert in Johannesburg.

The festival also announced one-off shows by the raw rock-folk trio, Dirty Three; the King of Latin salsoul, Joe Bataan (Philippines/USA) - performing with Australia’s I Like It Like That Orchestra - Neil Finn’s latest project Pajama Club (New Zealand), dub DJ/producer Mad Professor (UK) and two shows by acclaimed dancer Shantala Shivalingappa (India), who has worked with prestigious artists such as Pina Bausch, Maurice Bejart and Peter Brook.


WOMADelaide, Australia’s most diverse and exciting music festival, today announced a further 25 artists for the 2012 event. With 2012 heralding the 20th anniversary of WOMADelaide in Australia, next year’s milestone in Adelaide’s Botanic Park from 9-12 March will see a number of past festival favourites return, and the Australian debut of some of the world’s most exciting new artists.

Joining the likes of the inspirational Staff Benda Bilili from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit, Mali’s desert bluesmen Tinariwen and South African icon Johnny Clegg (announced in October) will be funk legends Chic (USA), acclaimed Australian performer Gurrumul, Penguin Café (the new generation of the UK’s Penguin Café Orchestra), singer/dancer/percussionist/songwriter Dobet Gnahoré from the Ivory Coast; Finland’s ‘extreme accordionist’ Kimmo Pohjonen and DJ Krush from Japan.

Director Ian Scobie said “The 2012 festival allows audiences to relive several of our favourite WOMADelaide artists from the past two decades, while discovering some amazing new performers who will join us for the very first time.”

Dance, visual arts, street theatre and food will again play a prominent part in the WOMADelaide experience and the inclusion of Ireland’s ponydance theatre company will have WOMADelaide audiences in a dancing mood with their highly interactive performance, “Anybody Waitin’?” To be performed in some of the festival bars in the evenings, ponydance delivers a witty and comical 30-minute routine in a whirlwind of movement.

In addition to performances, workshops, Artists In Conversation, Taste the World cooking sessions by artists and guest super-chefs, the festival will include the family favourite KidZone, with free activities all weekend, plus over 100 food, crafts and display stalls and a parade made up of hundreds of WOMADelaide kids and parents.
The final program, including a number of other headline artists and full details of the site program, will be announced in early January 2012.




WOMADelaide will celebrate 20 years in 2012 and next year’s milestone event in Adelaide’s Botanic Park from 9-12 March promises to be as exciting and memorable as ever!
