LOUD WOMEN Fest NYC: Amplifying Feminist Punk in 2025

New York City is set to reverberate with the raw energy of feminist punk as LOUD WOMEN Fest NYC arrives in Brooklyn with an unapologetic powerhouse event. LOUD WOMEN dedicated to amplifying the voices of women and non-binary artists in the punk scene will take place at Three Dollar Bill on May 10, 2025. 

The Movement Behind the Music: LOUD WOMEN

An annual fest originating in the UK, LOUD WOMEN has carved out a global platform championing DIY punk bands that challenge the status quo. LOUD WOMEN now also takes place in Melbourne & New York. Their mission is clear: to support and promote women and non-binary musicians in a scene that often sidelines them. Bringing this movement to NYC, a city with its own storied punk history, is both a nod to the past and a rallying cry for the future.

The Line Up

The festival boasts a diverse array of talent, each act bringing its unique brand of rebellion to the stage:

• Choked Up: Led by Cristy C. Road, this NYC-based Latinx feminist punk band delivers melodic hooks infused with riot grrrl spirit.

• Desert Sharks: Brooklyn’s own garage-punk quartet known for heavy riffs and unfiltered energy that captivates audiences.

• Dubais (UK): Hailing from the UK, Dubais merges punk, noise, and spoken word into performances that are as political as they are electrifying.

• Eevie Echoes & The Locations: A dynamic act blending punk, pop, and high-energy rock vibes that are sure to get the crowd moving.

What’s so important about LOUD WOMEN anyway?

I’m glad you asked! In a genre historically dominated mainly by male voices, LOUD WOMEN Fest NYC stands as a testament to the power and presence of women and non-binary artists in punk. 

It’s more than just a music festival; it’s a movement fostering safe, inclusive spaces where diverse voices can be heard and celebrated. The DIY ethos at its core ensures authenticity, spotlighting emerging and independent talent that embodies the true spirit of punk rebellion.
