The time has finally arrived that WOMAD enthusiasts hang out for, and the Womad curious get confused by… WOMAD line-ups always contain a bit of familiar but are always filled with artists you’ve not yet heard of… and therein lays the magic and the wonder of this unique festival.
 
For its 10^th year in Taranaki, WOMAD will be giving audiences an unparalleled chance to discover, experience and celebrate the many riches of music, arts and dance the world has to offer. “Dance ‘til you drop” will be the motto for audiences who simply will not be able to resist moving to the high energy and upbeat rhythms of many of the WOMAD artists for 2014.
 
With a strong contemporary edge running through the line-up, many artists draw on their roots to explore new cultural and musical fusions, taking their music to another level.    

Artistic Director, Drew James advises "Bring your dancin' shoes and prepare for another inspirational celebration of music, dance and diversity in Taranaki. We have some surprises planned too. Definitely don’t miss this one!”
 
To cap off the well-curated line-up, WOMAD are once again opening the gates to a local band that have not had the opportunity to play to a WOMAD audience. The 2014 Band Competition kicks off now and is a chance for the WOMAD audience to add their choice to the bill.  All entry and voting runs on the WOMAD NZ website http://www.womad.co.nz/competitions-special-offers/band-competition
 

Come join us - Friday 14 to Sunday 16 March 2014, at New Plymouth’s stunning Brooklands Park and TSB Bowl of Brooklands.
 
Tickets are available from the fabulous new Womad website http://www.womad.co.nz/ making finding all the information you need a whole lot easier.
