For the past three years, I’ve had the joy of attending the fabulous LOUD WOMEN Fest – and I can confirm it’s a highlight of my gigging calendar. But the festival is just one part of everything that LOUD WOMEN represents.
Founded in 2015 by Cassie Fox of I, Doris, LOUD WOMEN is an international, intersectional feminist music CIC (community interest company) with a powerful mission: to get more women on stages, and to showcase the incredible diversity of talent that exists across the music scene.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of LOUD WOMEN Fest, and with today’s line-up announcement, it’s already shaping up to be one of the best yet! The festival will take place on Saturday 6th September 2025 at Rich Mix, London. The event is open to all, and all ages are welcome.
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.”
