Women at Metal Festivals | Metal & High Heels Podcast 91

We all miss festivals, but have you ever thought about how we experience them as women? Should all festivals have women-only camping areas? And are there even enough female musicians good enough to be on festival billings?

In this episode, Kiki, Pia, and Steffi discuss their experiences at festivals, how important it is to have more and more women on festival stages, and how we can make female musicians more visible.
