Women and non binary artists have always been underrepresented in all aspects of the music industry. Low woman and non-binary representation is an industry wide problem, with a growing awareness seeing many festivals being called out for their male dominated lineups. The response from some festival organisers has been that there are not enough diverse musicians out there to book. Boudica Festival however seeks to change this opinion by showcasing women and non-binary musicians from across a wide spectrum of musical genres.

Our long term aim, as well as having a stellar women and non binary line-up, is to form a woman and non-binary events crew, using the expertise of women and non-binary sound engineers, lighting technicians and stage managers. As well as providing a platform, we want to highlight the opportunities available within the music industry other than performing.

“As women who have worked in the music and events industries for numerous years, this is a subject that’s very close to our hearts. It is great to see that positive steps are being taken to bring equality to the music industry, however we don’t think this is happening fast enough which is why we want to challenge the festival industry by running a specially curated music festival that showcases the best up and coming women and non-binary artists across a wide range of genres.

We hope that our events provide people, whatever their identity, a place to discover new music, try something new at one of our workshops and ultimately inspire individuals to kick-start a career in the music industry!”
