We are super excited and honoured to announce our Headliner for GRRRLS NIGHT OUT: The one and only Killer Queen!!!

Killer Queen returns to the Tin for one night only! Killer Queen aka Ruth Pearce is a Glasgow-based trans feminist DJ, known for genre-bending rock and pop sets that bring together classic tunes and contemporary hits. Ruth has been previously spotted spinning the decks at q***r clubs, protest after-parties, and activist conferences across the country, including Reclaim the Night, Women's Aid, Q***r Fest Leeds, Birmingham pride, and Nine Worlds Geekfest. In Coventry she founded and performed at the Killer Queen q***r rock club from 2009-2013, and was part of the Revolt! collective which ran riot grrrl nights at the Tin from 2012-2017. These days, Ruth can usually be found found shouting in the rock trio Dispute Settlement Mechanism, playing bass in the noise pop band wormboys, and/or pretending to be a professional scholar in the field of transgender studies.

Introducing KIMBERLXY (Kimberley) a 21-year-old singer songwriter based in Coventry. Infused with Alternative R&B, neo soul and Indie sound and having credits with The Belgrade Theatre, Daimler Powerhouse and Godiva Festival, she's always been one to expand her horizons, wanting to always explore what it means to be an artist and an all in all creative. Releasing her first track ‘17’ in June of 2020 during lockdown followed by ‘Tomorrow’ in September in the same year, she has taken the time out to reevaluate herself and her craft returning back in 2024 with a new music awakening true to her and her life.  We've been keen to get KIMBERLXY on our lineup for a while after catching her perform over the years and for being vocal about amplifying gal producers!

Our Story

Boudica Festival is a new festival that will give a platform to and celebrate the underrepresented talent of women.

We want to inspire women both on stage and behind the scenes. As well as providing a platform, we want to highlight the opportunities available to women within the music industry other than performing.
