WOMAD UK
WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance) UK runs from 22 to 25 July 2027 at Neston Park in Wiltshire, England; the line-up is not yet announced and the official waitlist is open. It brings musicians from around the world onto one field, with more than 200 free workshops led by musicians and dancers, an arboretum and a wellness area. The 2026 line-up ranged from Alfa Mist, who came to jazz piano through hip-hop sampling, to the Korean bluegrass band Country Gongbang.
WOMAD’s workshops are led by musicians and dancers; in 2026 there were more than 200, all free.
Learn a rhythm or a dance step in the afternoon, then hear a full set at night, and your ears will catch the groove faster.
The official 2026 profile describes Alfa Mist finding jazz through hip-hop sampling before teaching himself piano.
Good for listeners who start from rhythm: hear how the piano harmony tightens and loosens against drums and bass, no jazz standards needed.
The Korean bluegrass band Country Gongbang brought fast picking, handed-off melodies and close harmony.
Alongside Alfa Mist in the same year, it shows WOMAD isn’t a display of countries but a weekend where distant traditions meet.
