The Road to Women Who Rock starts now ⚡️🤘

With the Benefit Concert just weeks away, we’re taking you behind the scenes of what goes into bringing Pittsburgh’s biggest night for women in music to life.

In Episode 1, we’re kicking things off with our event committee, getting a first look at this year’s pink carpet collection, welcoming some incredible silent auction items, choosing our 2026 Rising Star, and sitting down with some of the women who have helped tell the Women Who Rock story over the years.

A huge congratulations to Mallory Bozovich , our 2026 Rising Star! We can’t wait to see her take the stage before Taylor Dayne at Stage AE. 🩷

Join us on October 17 at Stage AE. 🎶

Tickets can be found at womenwhorock.info

⚡ The official 2026 WOMEN WHO ROCK™ BENEFIT CONCERT poster is here. ⚡

For nearly a decade, the Women Who Rock Benefit Concert has brought an incredible female-fronted lineup to the stage with one powerful purpose: celebrating and amplifying women in music while raising critical awareness and funds for life-saving women’s health research.

And on October 17, we do it again. ⚡️🩷

This year, global pop icon Taylor Dayne headlines an incredible lineup featuring Malina Moye, The Vindys, DJ Coachelly, Kalie Shorr and 2026 Women Who Rock Rising Star Mallory Bozovich at Stage AE in Pittsburgh.

Hosted by Kelly Dzanaj. Honoring Diana Napper Glimmer of Hope Foundation 🩷

At the heart of this night is our longtime beneficiary, Magee-Womens Research Institute, the nation’s first and largest research institute dedicated to women’s health.

And we have some incredible news: we are already on track to surpass last year’s fundraising.

That’s because of YOU.

Our community. Our artists. Our sponsors. Our partners. Every person who buys a ticket, shows up, gives back and believes that women’s health deserves more.

A huge thank you to our longtime Presenting Sponsor Gibson Gives, our longtime Stage Sponsor GBU Life, and every incredible sponsor and partner you see on this poster who has stepped up to make an impact in women’s lives this year.

We’ve accomplished so much together. But there is still so much important work to do and critical dollars left to raise.

For nearly a decade, you’ve helped us prove what can happen when music, purpose and community come together. Now it’s time to do it again. ⚡

Our friends at She Is The Music, alongside ROSTR, just released a powerful new Gender Parity Index and the findings make one thing clear: parity is a choice.

Across hundreds of qualifying music industry rosters, only 63 achieved gender parity, while women’s representation remains stuck at roughly one in three across much of the industry.

At Women Who Rock, we believe data like this matters because you can’t change what you refuse to measure and progress will not happen fast enough without intention, accountability and action.

We’re proud to stand alongside She Is The Music in pushing for an industry where women are represented, supported and given equal opportunity at every level.

Read the report. Share the data. Keep pushing for change. ⚡️

ROCK HISTORY. ⚡️🤘

Huge congratulations to our friends The Warning the first all-female band and first Mexican band to hit #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with “Kerosene.”

We’ve loved watching Daniela, Paulina and Alejandra continue to break barriers since our interview with them. This is exactly the kind of moment we love to celebrate: women taking up space, turning it up loud and rewriting the record books.

More women in rock. More women making history. 🖤⚡️

The future of music is being built by women⚡️🎵

Did you know women make up less than 30% of the lineups at many of the major festivals still in 2026? Despite this gap on stage, women behind the scenes are driving the business of live music, from touring and booking to executive leadership.

Events like Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields festival show what’s possible when we put women front and center.

Featuring an all-women, multi-generational, multi-genre lineup, 100% of its net proceeds will go directly to supporting women’s organizations.

At Women Who Rock, we believe representation alone isn’t enough. Moving from participation into real power, visibility, and decision-making requires action, such as:

⚡️Putting women on stage: hosting our annual benefit concert with an all-women lineup.

⚡️Elevating the next generation of musicians: giving emerging artists a platform through our Rising Star contest.

⚡️Building community: connecting women across the industry through mixers and networking.

⚡️Mentoring the leaders of tomorrow: providing hands-on experience and guidance through our internship program.

To the artists, producers, promoters, curators, and creators shaping what comes next: we see you, we support you, and we’re building with you. 🩷
