Photo Gallery: Loud Women Fest // Rich Mix, London 16/09/2023

Starting way back in 2015 - Loud Women Fest was back once again! Taking over Rich Mix in London.

The not-for-profit Fest is firmly established as the alternative music women’s “pipeline” between grassroots and bigger festival stages – the same pipeline Glastonbury’s Emily Eavis recently said needed support in order to develop the female headliners of the future. LOUD WOMEN’s founder, musician and lecturer Cassie Fox says, “there’s absolutely no excuse in 2023 for festivals not to be booking at least 50% female musicians. Gender equality makes all areas of life more balanced and harmonious – especially in music!”. The festival showcased some the best new female and non-binary talent rising up from the grassroots and alternative music scene.

Our photographer Sam Strutt was there to capture all the action - check our her images below.
