Phew! What an incredible day We Are Here Festival 2024 was!
We were so thrilled to see so many people, old and new faces alike, just having the most wonderful time.
We had such a stunning line up and EVERY act brought it in a spectacular way.
We know a few of our artists put in a lot of travel to be with us following some busy gig schedules but you wouldnβt have know it because the energy levels were through the roof!
It was incredible to have such a talented bunch of artists with us, we have been absolutely blown away.
We want to particularly thank the participants from the Fearless Women workshop, who were indeed fearless, for their ethereal, honest and vulnerable performance that brought us as organisers to actual tears. This is why we do what we do!
We couldnβt have got through the day without Danny and Simon supporting the WAHF mission in covering not only the door and the merch stand, but also providing cold drinks to the performers and doing shop runs for the green room periodically throughout the day. They allowed us to be where we needed to be and we are so eternally grateful to them!
We had three incredible photographers for the day who worked their butts off capturing all of the lovely little moments in the crowd and the spectacular performances - we canβt wait to share with you the shots from Stacey, Mia and Martin.

Weβre an organising team of 6 people, and we could not have done it without these people supporting, cheerleading and anticipating everyoneβs needs during a 14 hour day.
Weβd also like to recognise Leadworks for the brilliant work they do day to day, but also the total openness and unwaivering support they have given to this event - as well as the incredible food and lovely team of volunteers running the bar and kitchen.
Finally, we want to thank everyone who came and helped create a safe and friendly space for the performers and for each other. You all enabled an affirming environment where people could proudly express their identity and be confident and secure in themselves.
