This is the biggest, busiest weekend in LOUD WOMEN history, coming at the end of what has already been the busiest week we’ve ever had.
We’ve barely recovered from our first ever LOUD WOMEN Fest Dublin. This week has already brought our Volume 7 Bandcamp listening party, LOUD WOMEN Edinburgh, and the Wholly Trinity screening and panel at the Vagina Museum. And now it’s Friday.
So naturally we’re releasing an album AND putting on a gig in Liverpool today, followed by our enormous London Fest tomorrow, followed by TWO gigs in two different cities on Sunday.
Liverpool. London. Brighton. Canterbury. Three days. Four gigs. Plus one brand new LOUD WOMEN album.
Buckle in.
Friday 4 September: LOUD WOMEN Volume 7 is OUT NOW
First things first: LOUD WOMEN Volume 7 is officially out today.
Our seventh compilation brings together 22 bands and 68 minutes of music, and you lot have already made it our biggest compilation pre-order ever. (LOUD WOMEN)
Lady Lazarus + THWACK! + Mona Freaka + French Toast + HAWXX + Whoremones + Skint Knees + GUNK! + The NaNaz + Yakkie + Witch Spit + Breakup Haircut + Hagar the Womb + I, DORIS + HISSY FIST + Second Idol + Wokerati Party + The Maggie Pills + Maria Uzor + Burry + WREX + Lilith Left The Garden
And today is Bandcamp Friday, so Bandcamp is waiving its revenue share. If you were thinking of buying the album, today is a particularly excellent day to do it.

You can also read more about the album, the bands and the frankly excellent response to it here:

(LOUD WOMEN)
And with that album safely unleashed into the world, obviously we’re off to Liverpool.

GET LOUD WOMEN FEST LONDON TICKETS
Sunday 6 September: LOUD WOMEN Brighton
What do we do after the biggest LOUD WOMEN Fest of the year?
Go to Brighton, obviously.
Sunday afternoon we’re at The Prince Albert with another extremely international bill:
Bullshit Boy + Lilith Left The Garden + Second Idol + Playing Alice + WREX
Germany + the Netherlands + Australia + the UK, five bands in one very excellent Sunday matinee.
1.30pm – 5pm. (Eventbrite)
GET LOUD WOMEN BRIGHTON TICKETS
AND Sunday 6 September: LOUD WOMEN Canterbury
Meanwhile, our Kent team will be doing an entirely separate LOUD WOMEN show at The Lady Luck in Canterbury.
Because apparently one gig on Sunday would have been too straightforward.
Bill Ricky + Luxury Nan Smell + The Calaveras + WREX + French Toast
And this one is FREE ENTRY. (LOUD WOMEN)
Special thoughts at this point for WREX, who are playing London on Saturday, Brighton on Sunday afternoon and Canterbury on Sunday evening.
We can only assume they have discovered a faster form of transport than the rest of us.
LOUD WOMEN CANTERBURY: DETAILS
Three days. Four gigs. One album.
So here we go:
FRIDAY: LOUD WOMEN Volume 7 released + DOLLHOUSE Liverpool
SATURDAY: LOUD WOMEN Fest London at Rich Mix
SUNDAY: LOUD WOMEN Brighton + LOUD WOMEN Canterbury
All of this comes at the end of a week that has already taken us through our Volume 7 listening party, Edinburgh, the Vagina Museum, and all the aftermath of our first Dublin Fest.
It is, by some considerable distance, our biggest and busiest weekend ever.
See you somewhere.
