Womadelaide 2010 program

However, as with the event, if you are prevented from travelling to the festival due to government imposed COVID 19 travel restrictions, you will be offered a full refund. WOMADelaide will have a reduced capacity compared to previous years and we recommend you purchase tickets in advance where possible. Any further changes will be updated on our website, and be communicated via email and social media to ticket holders.

Each adult ticket purchaser is entitled to bring up to two children 12 years and under for free. All children are required to be ticketed. Please ensure that you include the number of free children in the ticketing selection when purchasing tickets. As the lineup is announced it will be viewable on our lineup pages. Playing times are usually finalised and added around a month prior to the festival.

There are two other caravan parks nearby, conveniently located along the River Torrens Linear Park that runs past the festival site. There are many other hotels, motels and hostels available right across the CBD and surrounds, but we suggest you book early as demand for rooms in Adelaide is high throughout February and March.

A comprehensive list of accommodation options can be found at southaustralia. Please come prepared! If you do not currently have a card, we encourage you to organise a pre-paid debit card before arriving at the festival. These can be easily obtained through many financial institutions, or instore via Australia Post. AMEX or other cards not listed above will not be accepted. If you wish to bring a chair, only low-standing, beach-style chairs will be permitted.

Those who want to remain seated for a performance must sit at the outer edges and rear of the audience areas. For selected performances, the audience will be asked by the stage MC to sit down and, in these cases, those who want to stand or dance will be asked to move to the outer edges and rear of the audience area. Please be aware that "staking" out a spot in front of a stage with chairs or blankets for any performance not designated as a "seated performance" is prohibited as this can become a safety concern when large crowds of people can unpredictably converge at stages.

We also ask that out of courtesy to your fellow festivalgoers you do not leave picnic rugs in the park overnight to "save" a spot, as this is particularly unfair on our single-day pass holders. In addition, for security reasons any possessions left unattended overnight will be removed.

Fundraising is not permitted by anyone on site. Absolutely no flyering is permitted inside the festival grounds or outside the entrances due to our obligation of care for Botanic Park and our zero waste-to-landfill targets. WOMADelaide's distribution of paper handouts is restricted to the official pocket-guide.
