Originally established as an urgent respite from the male-dominated festival lineups that dominate the national market and as a pipeline for under represented artists to reach larger audiences, Loud Women Festival has swiftly become a globally renowned event. Following it’s inaugural event in 2015, the festival saw thousands of applications from artists across the planet wishing to play the event, with later incarnations of the festival seeing the likes of Nova Twins, Petrol Girls, Lambrini Girls, Grace Petrie, Big Joanie, ARXX and more gracing the festival’s stage. “There’s absolutely no excuse in 2023 for festivals not to be booking at least 50% female musicians”, states Loud Women founder Cassie Fox on the line-up. “Gender equality makes all areas of life more balanced and harmonious – especially in music!”
