A socially conscious muso and a climate change expert join the bill

A couple more names have been added to the upcoming WOMADelaide festival, with both the music and The Planet Talks programs getting a slight boost.

On the music side of things, veteran Algerian artist Rachid Taha will return to the event after an 11 year absence. The musician fuses rock, electro and punk into one very unique pop sound, while also sending out strong political messages through his lyrics.

For The Planet Talks program, WOMADelaide have signed up the co-founder and Chair of the Copenhagen Climate Council, Tim Flannery to speak on all things environment. You can expect the full Planet Talks program to be revealed on Tuesday 28 January.

The WOMAD line-up already features the likes of Billy Bragg, Femi Kuti & the Positive Force, Arrested Development, Breabach and heaps more. Check out all the festival info in theGuide below. The event takes place at Adelaide's Botanic Park from Friday 7 to Monday 10 March.
