Girls Music Day
Event description
Jen Long, Music Editor at DICE, said: “Every year you see the same story - there aren’t enough female headliners at festivals, DJ Top 100s are 100% male, female artists being patronised and objectified. If we want to change this, a blame game isn’t the answer. Instead it’s about getting the great women who currently work in this industry to join forces and inspire the next generation of headliners, label managers, producers, and everything in between.”
The event will be split into two parts: a music session hosted by female artists and DJs in the morning, and a series of talks with industry professionals from Rough Trade, Transgressive Records, Because Music, and Caroline International amongst others in the afternoon.
All sessions are free and open to girls and women aged 14 - 24 years via a ballot on DICE.
