'In 2015 - the major festivals displayed a massive gender imbalance. Of the 87 acts that were announced, 78 were all male, 3 were female and 6 were mixed groups. That, was an 89.6% all male line up!'
The Guardian Newspaper Music Section in 2015
Pandorafest organisers decided to set the gender imbalance straight and Panorafest was born in 2016.
It is NOT a women only event - guys are welcome in the bands - but it IS an event that simply makes SURE that enough women are onstage. Female bands, female musicians, female DJ's or female singers are the focus. Of course a band doesn't have to bury their male bass player in the garden to play Pandorafest. Guys are welcome to play but a good balance of the genders in any band is a necessity.
