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

What’s so important about LOUD WOMEN anyway?

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.
