This June NME will be collaborating with Long Division Festival, hosting a Girls to the Front stage at the event.
We’ll be taking over the Warehouse 23 venue on June 6, and hosting artists like Brix & The Extricated, Big Joanie and Peggy Sue.
This collaboration is an exciting addition to Girls to the Front, NME’s gig series showcasing female and non-binary talent, as well as celebrating gigs as a safe place for all genders. Previous shows have seen Charli XCX-created punk phenomenon Nasty Cherry make their UK debut at Girls To The Front, while we’ve also played host to other GTTF performers including Tove Lo, The Japanese House, Beabadoobee, Dream Wife, GIRLI, GLOWIE, Poppy and Black Honey among others.
The line-up for the NME Girls to the Front stage at Long Division Festival is:
The Lovely Eggs
She Drew The Gun
Brix & The Extricated
Big Joanie
Hands Off Gretel
Peggy Sue
Foundlings
Abbie Ozard
