If I was a betting man i'd go for that as reasonable. It stinks a bit that Latitude has managed to get approval as a test event but not Womad. Something fishy there, maybe the fact that Festival Republic has some sway in political circles whereas Womad.............................

Melvin is well in with the govt it's not a surprise to me that he's been able to tap into the test events thing.

I was very much hoping to go, for the first time, so bring on 2022!

Announced as cancelled.

I’m gutted. This is the annual highlight for my 15 year old daughter and her best friend. They are more gutted.

For me that is the 8th festival event cancelled over two summers. I only have one left. 

Gutted for all the WOMAD team who have had to make the hardest decision ever.

When do tickets usually go on sale? Definitely going in 2022.

Early birds normally go on sale in November. But with cancellations 2 years in a row not sure if they'll do it differently for 2022.

You won't regret it one of the most lovely festivals.

It’s also the 40th anniversary next year
