WOMADelaide turns 35 in 2027 with a spectacle of border-hopping sounds

WOMADelaide returns to Adelaide's Botanic Park across the 2027 March long weekend, and early bird tickets are already sold out.

WOMADelaide is back for 2027, bringing three-and-a-half decades of border-hopping sounds and spectacle to Adelaide’s Botanic Park.

The World’s Festival hits 35 years in 2027, and WOMADelaide is marking the milestone with a fresh batch of ticket options. Music, arts and dance from more than 30 countries land across eight stages, while the rest of the park fills up with roving theatre, artist workshops, ecological talks and long lunches under the canopy. Established global names share the bill with the acts about to become your next favourite, and half the fun is wandering between the trees to see what you find.

WOMADelaide 2027

  • 5 – 8 March 2027
  • Botanic Park/Tainmuntilla, Adelaide

The big draw this time is flexibility. From First Release on sale now, you can build your own festival by picking any combination of the four days, whether that’s a single visit or the full stretch from 5 to 8 March. A four-day ticket lands as the best value going, trimming more than 40 per cent off the cost of buying single days one at a time.

Payment plans are on the table across every ticket type, so you can lock something in early and chip away at it in monthly instalments. There’s room for everyone too: under-18s get a discounted rate, kids aged 12 and under head in free, and groups of 10 or more adults score five per cent off from First Release. The long-running Community Access Program also continues, putting tickets in the hands of people doing it tough.

Lineup reveals are still to come, so keep your ears open. For now, the early bird pricing is the reason to move quickly, since the sooner you commit, the less you pay. Future editions are already locked in for 2028 and 2029, making this the first of a few long weekends in the park.
