Queer Women Dominate All Things Go Festival, Shaping Pop Culture

The festival's female-forward lineup reflects a broader trend of queer women's influence in mainstream music.

All Things Go festival, held in New York and Maryland, featured a lineup almost exclusively of queer women artists.
Top acts included Julien Baker, Ethel Cain, Muna, Janelle Monae, and Renee Rapp, with Chappell Roan withdrawing due to health reasons.
The festival's focus on queer women musicians is seen as groundbreaking, echoing movements like the women's music movement of the 1970s and '80s.
Organizers noted that the demand for female-forward artists has been high since the festival's partnership with the Women’s March in 2018.
Experts suggest that the popularity of queer women in pop music is fostering a cultural shift, promoting greater visibility and acceptance.
