Girls to the Front

17/03/2026

That. Was. Amazing! Thank you so much for coming to Girls to the Front Fest in Vancouver at The Pearl. We couldn’t be prouder to host such a rad night for loud rock from female, femme and 2SLGBTQIA+ bands. The talent was off the hook! And to sell out before doors was just so heartwarming. Our hearts are so full!

Girls to the Front – Kelowna Update

We’ve had to make the difficult decision to postpone the fully activated version of Girls to the Front in Kelowna to next year.

We truly turned over every leaf. As we explored venues, formats, and timing for this year, it became clear that the conditions needed to uphold the heart and values of the fest weren’t fully in place yet. Rather than forcing GTTF into a format that doesn’t reflect the community we want to serve, we’ve chosen to pause and protect the integrity of the fest.

We also want to say a huge thank you to all the bands who applied. The number of submissions more than tripled from last year, and that response means so much to us. It’s a powerful reminder of why GTTF exists and how strong this community already is.

This isn’t giving up, it’s regrouping. GTTF exists to uplift loud women, non-binary, and gender-diverse artists, and to create space that feels intentional, supportive, and sustainable. Taking a step back allows us to recalibrate and ensure that when GTTF fully returns to Kelowna, it does so in a way that truly honours the artists, bands, and community involved.

We’re deeply grateful for the encouragement, excitement, and conversations this project has sparked so far. That energy matters, and it’s part of what keeps this vision alive.

Thank you for believing in what Girls to the Front stands for. We’ll share more when the time is right. 💜

When Madeline moved to Vancouver, some people thought it was the end of a chapter. Instead, it became the beginning of something bigger.

Girls to the Front was born from a moment of self-reflection, a grimy bathroom conversation, and a shared commitment to creating space for female, non-binary, and 2SLGBTQIA+ artists in rock music. What started in DIY rooms is now stepping onto a larger stage.

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, Girls to the Front comes to The Pearl on Granville in Vancouver. Same energy, same values, louder than ever.

Featuring:
P**s • Wait//Less • Down the Lees • Jisei • Gadfly • Cherry Pick • Tall Mary • Crimson Funeral • Semi • Ghost Teeth

Wicked bands, DIY market, comedians, and door prizes.

Tickets on sale Jan 7 @ 12PM ticket link in bio

Early Bird $25 / Advance $30

What started as one night of noise in Vernon to amplify female, non-binary and 2SLGBTQIA+ voices is now two full-blown festivals.

Girls to the Front is expanding to Kelowna and Vancouver, 2026.

Same mission. More chaos.

Stay tuned for news!

We at Girls to the Front have been reeling since the news of the US presidential election, and we know many of you are feeling the same. It’s been a tough couple of days. As a festival that champions female, non-binary, and 2SLGBTQIA+ artists, we’re acutely aware of the rights being threatened, and we know Canada is not immune to these biases.

But there is hope. We see it in communities like ours. Embrace your friends, lend a hand to a stranger in need when you can, and support local organizations working to create change. We believe in you, we love you, and you are not alone. ❤️
