Women in Music Empowerment Day

Overview

Girls to the front — and to the stage, to the crowd and to the markets. At Sydney's annual Women in Music Empowerment Day, an all-female lineup will be showcasing rockin', creative and all-round kick-ass ladies across a feast of sounds, art and more.

Taking over Newtown's Miss Peaches from 2pm on September 24, the event is the product of Deeper Than House, Stayfly Sydney, Yeah The Girls, Coven Presents and Honey's hard work, with the local crews curating quite the celebratory day for women, non-binary and minority peoples. First, tap your toes to the music of SCABZ, Clueless, Val York, SPORTS, Ines, Jannah Beth and more. Then, wander through stalls selling Mami Watta Collections, Haus of Dizzy, Karameleon and BadGirl Garden's wares. Finally, listen to a panel about gender-related industry challenges, with ALPHAMAMA, FlexMami, Poppy Reid, Rachel Maria Cox and Kailei Ginman among the smart cookies joining in.

Live art by Lotte Smith and Sophieaye, and live performances by LUMI SPINNERS, Bella Fuego Entertainment and DES FLEURS are also on the agenda, in what promises to be a jam-packed, empowering Saturday. Tickets cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door, with all proceeds raised going to The Girls Refuge, who offer a supportive, home-like environment for young wom*n who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness due to a number of factors.
