It’s not just one event, promoter or genre – women and marginalized communities have been sidelined in spaces they deserve to occupy. Our push for inclusive music festivals is a well-researched mission, not an empty call. There are qualified women across all areas of music ready to revitalize this industry. Risk assessments in live music often rely on outdated, male-dominated data. It’s time to break these paradigms and recognize the moral and financial value of elevating underrepresented groups like women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ artists. — All data collected by Book More Women When We Were Young 2025: 3.0% Women / 0.5% Nonbinary / 96.5% Men Sand In My Boots 2025: 10.4% Women / 0.0% Nonbinary / 89.6% Men Rolling Loud (California) 2024: 11.1% Women / 0.0% Nonbinary / 88.9% Men Oceans Calling 2024: 7.4% Women / 1.1% Nonbinary / 91.5% Men Point Break Music Festival 2024: 2.4% Women / 0.0% Nonbinary / 97.6% Men No Values Festival 2024: 3.2% Women / 0.5% Nonbinary / 96.2% Men Welcome to Rockville 2024: 6.3% Women / 1.0% Nonbinary / 92.7% Men Hulaween 2024: 13.7% Women / 0.5% Nonbinary / 85.8% Men Veld Music Festival 2024: 1.7% Women / 0.0% Nonbinary / 98.3% Men
