WOW London Festival

The world’s biggest festival celebrating women, girls and non-binary people is back in London for 2027.

Get ready for three days of world-class speakers, activists, performers, musicians and artists from across the world, all in one place.

Tickets go on sale later this year.

WOW London Festival is the place for inspiration, community and celebration, as well as frank and life-changing conversations about the things making us rage and rally.

Hear incredible stories from across the world covering sex to finance, climate justice to housing security.

And this year, festival-goers have the chance to dive deeper, with events across the weekend dedicated to Boys and Men and exploring how we all work together. Plus, Shameless! creates a coming together of activism and action for the eradication of violence against women and girls.

Since launching in 2010, more than 150 WOW – Women of the World festivals and events have taken place in 71 locations.

As WOW – Women of the World returns to the Southbank Centre for International Women’s Day weekend, everyone is invited to be part of this unforgettable festival.

Festival-goers can book WOW Day Passes this summer, giving access to dozens of talks, workshops, performances and beyond. There’s also a packed evening line-up of separately ticketed events featuring some of the world’s greatest thinkers and artists.

It doesn’t stop there. There are family-friendly events, the return of the WOW Marketplace and plenty of free surprises to explore across the Royal Festival Hall.
