History

Since the WOMAD festival ceased to operate in Reading in 2006 [http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/music/news/the-world-descends-on-wiltshire-for-womad-festival-13912701.html Belfast Telegraph: "The world descends on Wiltshire for Womad festival"] , Heavenly Planet is scheduled to take place on the same site as WOMAD and the Reading Festival.
