The Annual Womadelaide Music arts and Dance is rapidly approaching over the 4 days Friday 6th March until Monday 9th March at Botanic park in Adelaide. There is always a healthy mix of performers, some more mainstream and others maybe not so well known, but you are guaranteed to always have a good experience given the diversity.

I am fortunate enough to have been covering Womadelaide for Craftypics Media since 2008 which was the last time Mavis Staples played at Womad. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago but it was a memorable performance from the Grammy award winner.

 

Another performer who hasnt previously played Womadelaide but did represent Australia at Eurovision is Kate Miller Heidke. I have seen her perform thrice at the Gov in 2008, 2009 and 2012 and her vocal range and delivery is nothing short of breathtaking

 

The Cat Empire are also back in 2020. They seem to make a regular appearance at Womadelaide over the years. I’d go as far as to say they have played more Womadelaide events than any other band ?. Ive captured them at both Womadelaide over the years and at Thebarton Theatre

 

Then of course there is the Myriad of other artists that I need to listen to prior to March so that I can plan which stages to get to. For the Full Lineup in 2020 check out the Womadelaide 2020 Website

Every year the people of Adelaide embrace their inner Zombie – unless they are already at that stage through natural causes and take to the streets of Adelaide for the Annual Zombie walk. The Event is open to the public and is free but participants are encouraged to buy a wristband which allows them entry to the best dressed Zombie competition and other perks such as entry to clubs after the walk, cheaper drinks and lots more including getting squirted with fake blood in the splatter tent pre walk. Proceeds from these donations go to Foodbank

Here is the video of the 2017 AZW with the prewalk footage, the walk itself and a bit of the after party/ DJ

The 2018 Adelaide Zombie walk is only 2 weeks away held on October 13th 2018 starting in Rundle Park, Adelaide.

Womadelaide 2013 see the return of Swedish artist ” The Tallest man on Earth” who also played in Adelaide in 2011 as part of the Womadelaide Earth Festival held in Belair National Park. I loved his set he played then although one couldn’t avoid the discussion after the gig that he was very similar style to Bob Dylan. I’ll let you decide with this small snippet from the show.

He can be Seen in Botanic park at Womadelaide 2013 on the Friday evening
