The World of Music, Arts and Dance Festival has all the ingredients for a good time – food, dancing, arts, and an incredible line-up of local and international artists.

English/Kiwi rock band The Veils were announced this week in the first line-up of acts to headline next year’s WOMAD festival.

The enigmatic indie band have a reputation for their intense live performances, and they’ll be teaming up with a few classical musicians for their performance at the festival.

Frontman Finn Andrews told Jack Tame that it’ll be a “pretty raucous affair”.

He said that working with classical musicians gives them the option to lean into the extremes. 

“It kinda just intensifies that even more. I think it's gonna be really full on and really quiet and intimate as well.”
