WOMADelaide Second Line Up

WOMADelaide have added more than 30 artists to next year’s festival, taking place in March. Leading the second round of artists is UK’s Mercury Prize nominated and politically charged electronic act, Asian Dub Foundation.
For over 20 years, Asian Dub Foundation’s musical diversity has seen them work alongside a number of artists including Sinead O’Connor in the 2003 collaboration 1000 Mirrors, share the stage with the Beastie Boys and with Primal Scream, and be invited by David Bowie to perform a live score to French filmmaker Mathieu Kassovit’s cult classic, La Haine in 2002.
Also joining the lineup are French-Cuban twin sisters Ibeyi, eight-piece New York ensemble Hazmat Modine, and Israeli-born Ethiopian singer-actress Ester Rada. On the national front All Our Exes Live in Texas, Husky, and Mojo Juju are just some of the Australian acts now gracing the festival. More artists are set to be announced next month.
WOMADelaide 2016 will also feature a major site installation titled Sacrilege, an interactive, life-sized inflatable replica of Stonehenge created by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller. WOMADelaide will take place at Botanic Park in Adelaide from Friday March 11 until Monday March 14. Full lineup and tickets are available on the festival’s website.
