Smirnoff’s Equalising Music movement, aims to double the number of female and non-binary headliners in the music industry.
According to music heavyweights THUMP, females, transgender and non-binary people made up just 17% of headliners globally in 2016 at electronic music festivals – a figure far from gender parity. On International Women’s Day in March 2017, Smirnoff pledged to double this number by 2020, and brought this pledge to life in Ireland through Smirnoff Move the Needle, a documentary about female DJs, and a series of beginners’ DJ and production skills workshops.
