LOUD WOMEN Fest - at Rich Mix

Billed as an antidote to male-dominated festival line-ups, LOUD WOMEN comes with a simple mission, that yet seems so difficult for festival organisers like Festival Republic to achieve: to get more women on the line-up, to showcase the depth and breadth of female talent in todays music scene, and, tangentially, to set an example to other festivals who seem insistent on an endless wheel of 95% male line-ups. 

Celebrating its 10^th anniversary, LOUD WOMEN has never had a bigger line-up, growing beyond its dreams but never sacrificing its integrity. True to its grassroots ethos, the event continues to foster inclusive, energising spaces where emerging and established artists share bills, build community, and drive cultural change through sound.

Cassie Fox, founder of LOUD WOMEN, says:

“LOUD WOMEN Fest’s 10th anniversary isn’t just about looking back at what we’ve achieved – it’s about continuing to amplify voices that are still marginalised in music. LOUD WOMEN is about creating an inclusive, trans-inclusive space for female and non-binary musicians. Hot on the heels of LOUD WOMEN Fests in Melbourne and New York, this year’s London festival is a celebration of that mission, and we’re incredibly excited to showcase so many talented artists from all around the world.”
