Put Us First Fest

Overview

If you identify as female or non-binary, you're into music and you don't know what to do about it, then you might want to add Put Us First Fest to your calendar. Run by 4ZZZ and QMusic as part of Queensland Women's Week, it's a day-long workshop-filled festival dedicated to women in the industry, taking place from 9am on March 3.

At West End's newest venue, Outer Space, attendees will get immersed in everything from live audio production and DJing to marketing and songwriting, plus zine-making as well. Whatever part of this music business you're interested in — and whether you're keen on making it your career, doing it as a hobby or falling somewhere in-between — the fest has you covered. Whatever style you're into too.

Speakers include QPAC and The Triffid audio engineer Anna Whitaker, 4ZZZ's own DJ Dameeeela and Woolf Pack's Rebecca Cheers, as well as Mary Lyn, Kaylah Truth and Julia R. Anderson on the songwriting side of things. Early bird tickets are now on sale for $15.
