LadyRock Festival

TBA (see website for updated information)

LadyRock Festival – the North West’s first ever women’s only event of its kind – debuts on Saturday 26 May 2012 at Manchester Rugby Club.

Founded and directed by Jackie Crozier, known for her four year reign as Manchester Pride’s festival director (2008 - 2012), LadyRock will showcase female musical talent, from world-class headliners to unsigned, up-and-coming acts.

Jackie Crozier said: “I’m a firm believer in Girl Power, and I think a lot of people are too shy to try and bring that sense of female togetherness back to the 21st century. LadyRock Festival is a fresh and exciting new event that is more than overdue.

“Females are ready for a musical revolution and, for the first time in a while, women seem to be dominating the airwaves. It’s about time this was celebrated in the live music and festival circuit – and where better to start a musical revolution than Manchester?”

The open air site will give the perfect festival atmosphere for LadyRock, which will offer two stages of music and comedy, in addition to on-site activities for the day. A shuttle bus service will operate between the venue and the city centre, as an optional part of ticket purchase.

Tickets for LadyRock Festival 2012 will be on sale from 1 March.
