So Sad . Let hope for a bigger and better one next year!!
☹️With deep sadness, we are announcing WOMAD NZ 2022 is cancelled.
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank EVERYONE for being patient and understanding while we've worked through all our options.💕
Our team has cautiously forged ahead with planning for 2022 over the last few weeks. The decision to cancel has not been made lightly.
There is too much uncertainty surrounding large festivals and events and the growing threat of Omicron's spread in the community.
Ensuring the safety of our festival and the people of Aotearoa continues to be at the forefront of our response.
To our festival ticket holders, your tickets will roll directly over to WOMAD NZ 2023, our 20-year celebration, which takes place 17 - 19 March 2023. Nothing changes and all tickets will remain valid and at the 2022 prices! We hope you will all join us for the 2023 - 20-year event!
If festival-goers cannot make our 2023 dates, refunds will be available through our ticket outlet Ticketspace, at face value.
👉Please bear with us while we work this process with our ticketing agent Ticketspace. We will email all ticket holders with further information about your options in the next few days.
We're already setting our sights on WOMAD NZ 2023, our most exciting festival year yet, as we celebrate 20 years of WOMAD NZ making its home in the stunning Bowl of Brooklands and Brooklands Park, New Plymouth, Taranaki.
With the news that our borders will open on the horizon, it's looking highly likely that WOMAD NZ will be able to bring together artists from all over the world again over three incredible days of music, arts, and dance 🎵
🤩We are looking ahead to channelling our energy into creating a truly magical experience for WOMAD NZ 2023 - a 20-year event!
Much Aroha to you all, thank you WOMAD'ers, we can't wait to experience the world with you again in 2023 🌎
