Creamfields North 2022

Long-time Women Allergy Club adversary Creamfields, undeterred by last year’s scathing Instagram post, return in 2022 with effectively the same lineup as last year.

While it’s important to note that this is only the initial teaser lineup and the rest of the bookings have yet to be announced, we believe there’s no smoke without fire, and no Creamfields without 7 out of every 8 artists being men!

As always, if anyone reading this wants to send legal threats, you can reach out to us at [title of this page]@protonmail.com! We look forward to hearing from you :)

Made in Leeds Festival

Made in Leeds fest are trying their very best to draw ire from Women Allergy Club, not just by booking two women to thirteen men, but also by having one of those men be Tom Zanetti.

Hilariously, they’ve also managed to get a sponsorship deal from a vape company that can, no joke, give you 50% off a vape with the code MILF50. Presumaby that comes with flavour cartridges of Lynx Africa and MCAT?

Wireless Festival

Wireless have today announced their 2021 lineup, and fans are not happy. Some aren’t happy because Travis Scott’s not playing, others aren’t happy because they’ve somehow managed to book 5 women to 41 men!

Here at Women Allergy Club, we’re all in support of their shitty lineup. All that we ask is that they change their name to Womanless Festival instead!

Witcombe Festival

Whitcombe Festival (FKA Whitcombe Cider Festival) is back for another year, and has seemingly had to cut pandemic-induced costs by:

  1. Not booking any women headliners, and

  2. Designing their poster in Microsoft Word

Let’s hope they sell enough cider this year to sort things out for the next one!

Slam Dunk Festival

We had to bring in a consultant to tell us how many women were on this lineup - the only one they could see was on the bottom row.

That being said, it is genuinely impressive how many men they found considering the number of pop-punk artists having been outed as pedophiles in recent years. Top marks!

Moovin Barn Party

Moovin Festival are having a 1-day warmup mini festival barn party before the main event (linup TBA). The fact that we can only count two women on the lineup nonwithstanding, the branding for this is truly excellent. They really are moovin mad (geddit?)

At least there’s Vibes eh?

Parklife 2021

A recent comment from a promoter highlighed on our page was that, while they would love to book more women, they’re all unavailable due to the exclusivity contracts artists sign with Parklife’s sister organisation, The Warehouse Project. Unfortunately for them, it seems like this argument doesn’t hold much weight as Parklife aren’t booking them either - The Guardian reports that 7 in ten acts on the lineup are men.

None of this should come as a surprise to anyone familiar with dance music’s premier capitalist and Parklife founder Sacha Lord, who previously blocked one of our admins on Instagram for daring to question how exclusivity contracts are in any way good for the scene. There’s always next year, eh Sacha?

Isle of White Wight Festival

The Isle of Wight festival has, unfortunately, survived the pandemic and is back for 2021. Headlining is, er, Liam Gallagher, Snow Patrol, David Guetta and Duran Duran?

Quite frankly this lineup is so bizarre we can’t even begin to write jokes about it. The longer you look the weirder it gets.

Creamfields 2021

Creamfields are back for 2021 with a proper trolley problem of a lineup. Pull the lever and a festival with 89 artists only books 6 women, but leave the lever and you miss out on a live set from Scooter.

Fun Fact: Bangface once tried to book Scooter; upon emailing their agent they found out that Scooter’s fee is as much as Bangface’s entire yearly artist budget!
