Don’t miss Womad EARTH STATION this weekend!

Womad EARTH STATION is a brand new and unique festival of music and ideas exploring our relationship with the planet.

Many years in the making, Womad EARTH STATION is the brainchild of the producers of the hugely successful annual WOMADelaide festival and the first major festival in Adelaide to offer camping facilities.

Held in the gorgeous surrounds of Belair National Park, South Australia’s oldest national park (just 20mins drive from the CBD), the music program features 19 extraordinary groups from across Australia and the world – from the Kronos Quartet, Rickie Lee Jones and Abdullah Ibrahim to Mista Savona and The Audreys.

Alongside the music program will be a series of exciting PLANET TALKS by leading scientists, academics, writers and thinkers, including Roy Neel (Chief of Staff to Al Gore, former US Vice President), actor Cate Blanchett and comedian Rod Quantock.

For three days, Belair National Park will buzz with music, roving performers, installations, nature walks, workshops, great food and wine and THE MARKET which features practical information about sustainability, demonstrations, workshops and discussions as well as environmentally-friendly products and services.
