The organisers of WOMADelaide 2015 have confirmed their second round lineup for next year’s festival, adding Sinead O’Connor, First Aid Kit, Astronomy Class, Timberwolf, Sharon Van Etten, Nick Waterhouse, Willow Beats, and many more to a roster that already boasted the likes of Youssou N’Dour, Rufus Wainwright, Balkan Beat Box, and Neneh Cherry.

Punters can also expect to see appearances from the talented likes of Max Savage & The False Idols, Robyn Hitchcock & Emma Swift, Gruff Rhys, FourPlay, Tara Tiba, Myele Manzanza & The Eclectic, Margaret Leng Tan, Emma Donovan & The PutBacks, and Soley.

“What makes WOMADelaide a truly unique festival is the extraordinary diversity of musical experiences for audiences who will get the opportunity to experience not only one of contemporary music’s biggest stars in Sinéad O’Connor, but also her non-western contemporaries,” said Festival Director Ian Scobie.

WOMADelaide 2015 is set to run over four days from Friday, 6th March to Monday, 9th March at Adelaide’s Botanic Park.
