Major SA Music Festival To Go Ahead In 'Re-imagined' Format Next Year

Revered Australian music festival WOMADelaide is confirmed to return in 2021 in a "re-imagined" format.

Due to the ongoing COVID restrictions, the Adelaide event will go ahead next March as four sunset concerts instead of its usual seven-stage showcase.

“We are absolutely delighted to announce that in 2021 WOMADelaide will be presenting a unique series of four sunset concert evenings, featuring outstanding Australian headline artists, from Friday 5 March until Monday 8 March in King Rodney Park,” WOMADelaide Director, Ian Scobie, said.

“While the sunset concerts will be a departure from the format that our audiences have come to know and love, we are working hard towards creating a joyful celebration of WOMADelaide’s 29-year history and place in Adelaide’s renowned summer festival season.

“After regular consultation with SA Health over many months, it has become clear, in light of the global pandemic, that it would not be possible to present the full festival across seven stages in Botanic Park.

"Our priority is the safety of our audiences and artists, and the concert series set-up – with one spectacular stage, limited capacity and reserved seating - will enable us to proceed in a COVID safe manner approved by SA Health.”

The full 2021 line-up is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
