It is estimated that, as of April 2020, around 5 billion people are
on lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This translated into loss of
jobs, loved ones and temporary freedom to attend any type of live
events.
The current crisis has impacted many sectors worldwide
and especially musicians and the music industry. Female artists have
been impacted even more as a result of an underlying situation. In fact,
a research conducted in 2017 showed that only 16.8% of all active
artists are women, in addition to having a lower income compared to
their male counterpart.
In this situation, it is even more
important to give voice to female creators, while bringing joy and hope
into the homes of billions of people in isolation, thanks to the healing
power of music.The World is facing a unique challenge and women can be a
driving force in this historical moment. These are the feelings behind
the creation of the first Online Female Fest.
The virtual
festival will be held on Saturday, May 16th 2020 from 6.00 p.m. CEST and
will be hosted on StageIt, the premier online live concert platform,
while artists will livestream their sets from home.

Tickets
will be on ‘pay what you can basis’ (suggested minimum $5), as we keep
in mind that most people have recently lost their jobs or a part of
their income and we want this festival to be accessible to as many as
possible.
ALL THE PROCEEDS OF THE FESTIVAL WILL BE DONATED TO
HELP MUSICIANS UK to financially support many artists who are currently
out of a job.
The registration on the Stageit.com platform is FREE and people can register via email or Facebook.
Tickets can be purchased before and during the livestream at:
