WOMADelaide today announced the inimitable Jamaican singer Grace Jones as the Saturday night headliner for the 2026 festival, completing the extraordinary lineup for the celebration of music, arts and dance held over the March long weekend (6–9 March) in Botanic Park/Tainmuntilla.
"It's brilliant to have an audience that cares so much about what WOMAD is, could be, and stands for. In a world in which many bad actors seem to be achieving power by fanning the flames of hatred, racism and division, a meeting place for all the world’s cultures and dreams, built on mutual respect, seems all the more precious."
