OUGD505 research project - Leeds festival

I have stumbled upon an issue surrounding festivals/the music industry and how females are unfairly represented in this element of the music industry.

WOMEN ARE UNDER-REPRESENTED IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

How it would look if the Reading / Leeds line-up only included the acts that have a female musician in the band.




Here shows a poster of the bands and acts playing at leeds festival which are a female act, or involve a female in the band, the poster indicates how non of the headlines acts contain women and how they are a giant minority in this department. 

Delving into the music scene as the festival season was approaching I stumbled upon topics such as sexism and gender inequality in the music industry, this topic shouted out me as I felt it was serious enough to form a substantial field of work, with scope for a variety of ideas, yet subtle enough and also on trend to fitting into festival time of the year.
