History
Since the WOMAD festival ceased to operate in Reading in 2006, Heavenly Planet was scheduled to take place on the same site as both WOMAD and the Reading Festival. Situated 2 miles (3.2 km) north-west of the town centre, the Little John's Farm site (near Caversham Bridge) was developed by Reading Festival organiser Melvin Benn, WOMAD's former artistic director Thomas Brooman CBE and Reading Borough Council.
2009 event
Planned artists for the 2009 event included The Wonderstuff, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and the Royal Drummers of Burundi.
