How Many Women Are Actually On Festival Lineups in 2026?
Amplifyhervoice and Bookmorewomen took a close look at this year’s festival line-ups in the US and Canada.
Despite what may feel like progress, most major music festivals booked fewer women in 2025 than the year prior. The movement forward is incremental at best, and in some cases, it’s moving backwards.
That’s why outliers like @allthingsgo and @hinterlandiowa stand out. They’re among the very few festivals this year with a majority of women artists on their lineups, proving that equity isn’t just aspirational, it’s actionable.
