WOMAD Festival partner with FIXR for 2026 return

After a short pause in 2025, one of the UK’s most loved and longest-running festivals is returning to embark on an exciting new journey, in a new home.

WOMAD Festival will make its comeback from 23-26 July in Neston Park, North Wiltshire – and with preparations well underway for the next edition, the festival’s organisers have chosen FIXR as their exclusive ticketing and event technology partner.

Founded 45 years ago by Peter Gabriel and a collective of artists and cultural advocates, WOMAD has evolved into an international symbol of creativity, connection, and cultural diversity.

WOMAD’s move to FIXR reflects the organisers’ commitment to evolving with their audience while preserving the spirit that has defined the festival for nearly half a century.

The new partnership is built on a shared commitment to simplifying the booking experience for customers, and a strong focus on audience insight and innovation to help the festival engage long-time fans and welcome a new generation of attendees.

Chris Smith, Festival Director at WOMAD:

“As we prepare for WOMAD’s next chapter, we’re committed to building on everything that makes this festival so special: incredible music, global creativity, and a welcoming community. Working with FIXR allows us to provide our audience with a simple, seamless ticketing experience while giving our team the tools to grow, evolve, and keep that sense of discovery alive for years to come.”

Joel Crouch, CRO at FIXR:

“WOMAD is one of the most iconic names in the festival world, and it’s an honour to be part of its return in 2026. Our focus is on delivering technology that enhances, rather than interrupts, the experience; making it easier than ever for audiences to be part of something truly special.”

Tickets for WOMAD Festival 2026 are on sale from 12pm on Thursday 13th November.
