In 2015, the music blog "Crack" tweeted a doctored image of the poster for the Reading and Leeds festival, erasing all acts that didn’t include a female performer. Only 10 groups remained. This started a conversation about gender inequality at music festivals – an issue that, despite the outcry, persists in 2021. Amrapali talks about how it’s high time we proactively start to nurture female talent. We need to see a rise in all-female lineups at music festivals; this is a necessary phase to help redress the balance.
