Women in Music Empowerment Day 2018

Women in Music Empowerment Day returns in 2018, with local Sydney crews Deeper Than House, Stayfly Sydney, Yeah The Girls, Coven Presents, Nap Girls and Bedrock Collective coming together to curate an all-day, inclusive live music event on Sunday 7 October. Taking over Miss Peaches in Newtown, the day will celebrate and empower women, non-binary and minority peoples in our diverse music community, and provide a safe environment to network with like-minded colleagues, all while raising money for charity.

Live music and performance art will be at the forefront of Women in Music Empowerment Day, with a non-male powered lineup featuring a diverse array of artists and sounds, from the bold and soulful ARIG to the cruisey folk-rock of Harley Mavis, electro-soul starlet Clarissa Mei and indie-punk outfit Good Pash. Live performance artists Jen Brady and Morus Quinn will transform the space over the course of the night, joined by DJs including deep disco queen C.Sauce, funk and soul delights from Freda Frequency and Isa bringing the boogie.

An interactive panel will be held early in the day to discuss industry challenges and collaboratively workshop strategies that can help create an environment of equality for all non-males and minority groups, led by radio host and journalist Paige Leacey in conversation with DJ and event producer Ayebatonye, musician Heidi Lenffer from Cloud Control, artist manager and founder of Mellum PR Udaravi Widanapathirana, plus more speakers to be announced.

Women in Music Empowerment Day donates proceeds raised each year to charities in our community that support young wom*n in need. There will be a raffle on the day to raise additional funds with foodie, fashion and lifestyle prizes up for grabs.
