LOUD WOMEN Fest 2023: A Celebration of Female and Non Binary Voices
LOUD WOMEN Fest is an ever-growing, recognisable event that is hosting its 7th festival, celebrating some of the most powerful female and non binary voices in music right now. Also, for the first time since its inception, this year’s event is for all ages, meaning even the smallest of ears can join the conversation, be inspired and truly see the beauty of female and non binary talent in the altnerative music scene!
This year’s LOUD WOMEN Fest lineup is its most internationally diverse yet, with performances from Breezy (Germany), Hipersona (Turkey), ShyGodwin (USA), The Dollheads (USA) and Vernon Jane (Ireland). Not forgetting a taste UK talen, including COWZ, FFSYTHO?!, I, Doris, LibraLibra, PUSSYLIQUOR, Samba Sisters, Sassyhiya, Shallow Honey, The Empty Page, The Kut, Where We Sleep and WOLFS. Between all the musical talent throughout the day, they will be uplifted by empowering speakers and guests such as Safe Gigs for Women, Bloody Good Period, Janine Booth, Janey Starling – Level Up and Alliance for Choice (Northern Ireland).
LOUD WOMEN’s founder, musician and lecturer Cassie Fox says, “there’s absolutely no excuse in 2023 for festivals not to be booking at least 50% female musicians. Gender equality makes all areas of life more balanced and harmonious – especially in music!”. The festival has historically been a platform for thrilling newcomers in the scene, including acts such as Nova Twins, Big Joanie, Grace Petrie, Desperate Journalist, Petrol Girls, Pleasure Venom, ARXX and Lambrini Girls.
“if you’ve ever looked at a festival lineup and wondered where all the women are, they’re playing LOUD WOMEN Fest.” – Kerrang!
