Grrl Fest 2014 certainly lived up to the hype generated from the previous explosion onto the Melbourne scene. With an even larger and more diverse audience than last year, GF prevailed once more in putting on the best party-with-a-conscience of the year.
Thank you to all who gave their time and energy to keep the Grrl Fest dream alive.
Viva La Grrl Fest!

The birth of Grrl Fest in January 2013 was as chaotic as it was spectacular. After a brief hitch-hiking holiday, Amy Broomstick was inspired by the various “Lady Fest’s” around Borneo and eastern Europe, and gave herself just 3 months to organise Melbourne’s own DIY riot-grrrl inspired festival! The reaction and support for Grrl Fest was immense, attracting over 500 attendees through the doors of the incredibly generous Irene’s Arts Warehouse.
2 storeys, 3 stages, 20 stalls, 30 performances and many hardworking volunteers. All ages and all genders came to celebrate the eclectic talent of the diverse line up.
Grrl Fest wishes to thank all of the people who believed in it from the beginning. And thank the people who helped out, picked up trash, set up stages, print t-shirts, shared the event or brought a friend.
Viva La Grrl Fest.
