Last July, Galway’s Shark School hosted the very first Femme Fest at Róisín Dubh. Alongside the garage rock contenders, the event – dubbed “a collection of the most badass, rockin’, female-fronted bands in the country right now” – made a strong debut, featuring Shark School, Cruel Sister, Affection to Rent, Vernon Jane, and Red Sun Alert.
Now, six months later, Shark School have gone all out for the festival’s second edition. Taking place on Thursday, 27th February, it also serves as a stellar showcase of female-fronted bands from across the island, as well as some of the fiercest and fastest-rising acts around. Once again featuring the organisers themselves, alongside TTA favourites Adore, Tramp, Cabl and Dream Boy, the event promises to be a major step forward for the series.
Shark School said: “Galway’s very own Doc Marten convention is hitting the town once again – a night fuelled by feminine rage and attractive gig-goers. We are going gigging, girlies, and we are going gigging hard.”
