The rumours are true - the USA’s Thievery Corporation will perform at WOMADelaide 2018, to be held from 9-12 March 2018 in Adelaide’s Botanic Park.
Thievery Corporation’s Eric Hilton and Rob Garza bonded 21 years ago over a shared passion for Bossa Nova. They have since headlined many of the world’s best festivals, including Coachella and Lollapalooza, and influenced an entire generation of electronic producers, collaborating with artists such as David Byrne, Femi Kuti and Seu Jorge along the way.
Few musical artists are as diverse as ‘The Thieves’, moving with spectacular ease from space rock to hip-hop, Indian trip-hop, dub, French torch songs and shoe-gazer bliss. Their tenth studio album, The Temple of I & I, realised in February 2017, a departure from previous albums, delves deep into the rich and warm musical culture of Jamaica.
Thievery Corporation, with full-band, will perform at WOMADelaide 2018 alongside an already sensational lineup of artists, including Anoushka Shankar, with whom they collaborated on the track Mandala on the album Radio Retaliation and also on Beloved for their Versions album.
The full lineup for WOMADelaide 2018, including around 40 more international and Australian groups, DJs and site artists, will be released on 21 November.
