""I would go to shows and consistently see line-ups of predominantly white and male acts. Some of them would be onstage making statements about promoting diversity, but it never seemed like there was any follow through.""
""Doll Fest is an East Bay-based music festival on the cusp of its second annual three-day event, featuring a lineup of all femme-fronted bands.""
Doll Fest is a music festival founded by Maria Chaos in response to the lack of diversity in concert line-ups. Chaos, a dedicated concert-goer and promoter, observed that many shows featured predominantly white and male acts despite claims of promoting diversity. This disconnect between rhetoric and reality motivated her to create a festival that showcases all femme-fronted bands. The festival includes local and international acts, with a portion of proceeds donated to support related causes, aiming to foster genuine inclusion in the music industry.
