Dice launches Girls Music Day
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 25 February 2016
Ticketing app Dice has announced more details about an event it is staging next month called Girls Music Day, which aims to convince more young women to take up roles in the music industry, both on stage and behind the scenes.
The event will be split into two halves, with a live music session hosted by a variety of female artists in the morning, followed by talks from representatives of companies such as Rough Trade, Transgressive Records, Because Music and Caroline International in the afternoon.
Says Dice’s Jen Long: “Every year you see the same story – there aren’t enough female headliners at festivals, DJ Top 100s are 100% male, female artists being patronised and objectified. If we want to change this, a blame game isn’t the answer. Instead it’s about getting the great women who currently work in this industry to join forces and inspire the next generation of headliners, label managers, producers, and everything in between”.
Taking place at the Sonos Studio in Shoreditch on 12 Mar, Girls Music Day is open to girls and women ages fourteen to 24, with tickets given out by ballot. Put your name down to attend here.
