Every year, millions of people flock to festivals to lose themselves in escapism, ecstasy, and a boundless sense of freedom—and, of course, in music. Most of the music is performed by men. Why is that? Despite the successes of female artists and the growing calls for more diversity, the 2025 festival summer will once again be dominated by male-dominated lineups. How can this persistent injustice be explained? And what does it say about the music industry itself? Rike van Kleef has spoken to numerous players in the live and festival industry and paints a revealing portrait of the sector. She examines the difficulties FLINTA artists encounter, how power structures work in the industry, why women still earn less, and what the safety situation is like for female and queer musicians in the post-#MeToo era. Van Kleef also shows what the path to greater gender equality could look like: how bookers can achieve more diverse lineups, what would make festivals safe spaces for FLINTAs, and how male-dominated structures can be dismantled.
