Over nine days, LOUD WOMEN is heading through Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Brighton and Canterbury, bringing together artists from Ireland, the UK, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Ukraine and beyond.
There are full festivals, intimate gigs, international artists making their way around the country, new collaborations, old friends and an absolutely unreasonable amount of brilliant live music. Here’s where to find us.
Saturday 29 August: LOUD WOMEN Fest Dublin
First up, we’re bringing LOUD WOMEN Fest to Dublin for the very first time, taking over Fibber Magee’s for a full day of live music.
Bill Ricky + DC Dolls + Dose + FOSFÍN + Holy Show + I, Doris + Molly Vulpyne + Second Idol + Taylor D
It’s our first Irish LOUD WOMEN Fest, with artists coming together from Ireland, Canada, Australia and the UK. We’ve also been working with Safe Gigs Ireland to make sure the welcoming, community-minded ethos that sits at the heart of LOUD WOMEN travels with us.

Wednesday 2 September: LOUD WOMEN Edinburgh
Then we’re in Scotland for LOUD WOMEN Edinburgh at the Banshee Labyrinth.
Second Idol + SheBeat + YIOTA + Von Dodds
Sydney’s Second Idol are making excellent use of their trip to this side of the planet, and Edinburgh is just one stop on what is rapidly becoming a heroic LOUD WOMEN tour.

Thursday 3 September: art, activism and the Vagina Museum
There’s another LOUD WOMEN appearance in London that week too. LOUD WOMEN founder Cassie Fox will be joining a panel discussion at the Vagina Museum following a screening of Wholly Trinity: Abortion, Art and Activism in Northern Ireland.
The event explores the role artists and creatives played in campaigning for abortion rights in Ireland, and the wider power of art as a vehicle for activism and social change.
Friday 4 September: DOLLHOUSE – Gothfrog x LOUD WOMEN, Liverpool
Next, we’re joining forces with Liverpool promoters Gothfrog for DOLLHOUSE at ARC:hive.
Second Idol + Woke Nonsense + Sienosaira + Auraboros
We love teaming up with fellow DIY promoters who share our determination to make live music spaces more interesting, inclusive and representative, so we’re extremely excited about this one.

Saturday 5 September: LOUD WOMEN Fest London
And then: the big one.
The 11th LOUD WOMEN Fest London takes over Rich Mix in Bethnal Green for a full day of music across two stages.
Bill Ricky + Bullshit Boy + Diva Cup + FOLKULAKA + French Toast + Hagar the Womb + I, Doris + Lady Lazarus + Lilith Left the Garden + Maria Uzor + MADELINE + Muddy Summers & the Dirty Fieldwhores + Second Idol + SheBeat + Shiv and the Carvers + Skint Knees + The NaNaz + THWACK! + WREX
Nineteen artists. Two stages. Artists travelling from across the UK and around the world. Punk, indie, electronic music, dark folk, riot grrrl, alt-rock, pop and things that stubbornly refuse to fit into any of those boxes.
LOUD WOMEN Fest has always been about discovery: come for the artists you already love, arrive early, stay all day and leave with several new favourites.
This year’s festival is also being supported by an incredible community of organisations including Women for Refugee Women, Rainbow Migration, Alliance for Choice, Resonance FM and Topple and Burn.

On Sunday afternoon we head to the Prince Albert in Brighton for another international LOUD WOMEN bill.

Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and the UK meet in Brighton for a Sunday matinee full of feminist punk, alternative rock and excellent noise.

Sunday 6 September: LOUD WOMEN Canterbury
And because apparently one LOUD WOMEN show on 6 September isn’t enough, we’ve got another one happening at the Lady Luck in Canterbury on the very same day.
Bill Ricky + Luxury Nan Smell + The Calaveras + WREX + French Toast
And this one is FREE ENTRY.
Yes, WREX are playing London on Saturday and then Brighton AND Canterbury on Sunday. We would strongly advise against attempting this yourself without a teleportation device.

One of the most exciting things about LOUD WOMEN in 2026 is watching the community connect across borders. Artists we’ve met in Sydney, Toronto, Dublin, Berlin and elsewhere are turning up on stages together; local promoters are joining forces; bands are sharing bills in multiple cities; and audiences get to discover music they might never otherwise have encountered.
That’s exactly what we want LOUD WOMEN to be.
So: Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Brighton or Canterbury — pick your city. Or, if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, see how many you can manage.
