Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

Across genres, women make up approximately 20% of artists at festivals and in the wider industry. Women of colour often make up less than 10%, and are almost invisible in headliner positions.

Driven by this imbalance, GRRRL was created to celebrate women — especially those from places of conflict and social injustice — and to provide a platform for them to create music on their own terms, about the issues that matter to them.
