LOUD WOMEN FEST Heads Down Under

LOUD WOMEN, the international feminist music organisation founded in London UK, have announced the full lineups for LOUD WOMEN FEST‘s return to Australia. The two-city festival will take place on the 7th December at Sydney’s Crowbar and on the 14th December at Melbourne’s The Bergy Bandroom, showcasing the most powerful women-led and gender diverse punk, rock, indie and alternative acts from Australia and around the world. LOUD WOMEN FEST‘ is proudly non-profit, trans-inclusive, and built to counter male-dominated festival culture by platforming women, trans and nonbinary musicians. After a sold-out debut in 2024, the festival returns with an even bigger lineup, celebrating underground music, feminist resistance, and DIY community.

The 2025 festival includes international acts Bitter Tits (USA) and Vagina Dry (New Zealand), alongside LOUD WOMEN‘s London-based house band I, Doris (UK), who will be flying to Australia especially for the festival. I, Doris features Cassie Fox, the founder of LOUD WOMEN and a key voice in the movement for gender equality in music. LOUD WOMEN FEST Australia is led by organisers Soph (R.U.B) and Kate (Second Idol), two respected artists and community organisers committed to building a safer, more inclusive music scene.

“Australia has one of the most exciting punk and alternative scenes in the world, and Loud Women Fest Australia proves it. These lineups are explosive. We are here because equality will not happen by waiting for the mainstream music industry to change. We build our own stages, our own spaces, and our own future.” (LOUD WOMEN founder Cassie Fox)
