LOUD WOMEN Fest Tokyo X Too Hot to Be Cool

About

On 14 November, Tokyo's rock-for-climate series Too Hot to Be Cool and UK's feminist non-profit LOUD WOMEN team up for a historic first: the very first LOUD WOMEN Fest in Asia. LOUD WOMEN Fest Tokyo × Too Hot to Be Cool brings together two causes in one night: putting women-led and non-binary-led rock front and center on stage, and raising funds for climate action in Southeast Asia. The two causes LOUD WOMEN is a UK feminist non-profit that's been running festivals since 2015, spotlighting women-led and non-binary-led bands across the UK, Europe, the US, Canada, and now, for the first time, Asia. Too Hot to Be Cool is Tokyo's own rock-for-climate event series, running since April 2024, channeling live music into funding for youth-led environmental NPOs in Southeast Asia. Together, we're putting on a night that's as much about who's on stage as it is about where the money goes. The lineup Selected from hundreds of applications from around the world, 10 women-led and non-binary-led punk and alternative rock bands from Japan, South Korea, the US, the UK and Ireland take the stage for one night only: 18Fevers @18fevers (South Korea): Death Punk Disco pioneers, blending hardcore, post-punk, and hip hop into wild, unpredictable live shows Akabane Vulgars on Strong Bypass @akabane_vulgars (Japan): 20-year Tokyo garage punk institution, blending raw blues riffs with punk urgency and fierce independence The Daddy Sisters @thedaddysistersband (USA): Glam punk duo inspired by Kiss and Joan Jett, delivering massive sound from just two members THE JUNGLES!!! @jungles_japan (Japan): "Monster Girls Band" touring the world since 2013, mixing punk, grunge, and ferocious stage presence Mikabomb @mika.bomb2025 (UK): Grand Royal-signed pop punk veterans, blending garage energy with Japanese pop sensibility since the early 2000s Molotov Princess @molotov.princess (Japan): Queer feminist punk collective channeling radical politics and liberation into unapologetic punk anthems Pualala @pualala.info (Japan): Brand-new trio formed in June 2026, already two EPs deep and preparing their first tour with fresh, distinctive rock energy Siam Jem @siamjem (USA): LA "dream punk" pioneers, blending shoegaze atmosphere with punk attitude and anti-fascist female rage Sister Ghost @sisterghostofficial (Ireland): Dark power-pop artist praised by The Guardian and BBC Radio 1 for fearless, visceral songwriting Vampire Bats @vampirebats_tokyo (Japan): Tokyo garage punk trio channeling 1950s rockabilly and psychobilly through a distinctly feminine lens A night of punk, garage, glam, and everything in between, united by one thing: women and non-binary leading from the front. Three of our bands - Mikabomb, 18Fevers, and THE JUNGLES!!! - have played Rebellion Festival in the UK this summer, the world's largest independent punk festival.
