FACTS 2020 SURVEY / OFFICIAL IRELAND LAUNCH
The female:pressure FACTS survey is a continuous project, undertaken by volunteer members of the female:pressure network, that quantifies the gender distribution of artists performing at electronic music festivals worldwide. FACTS has been published since 2013 by female:pressure. For the 2020 report I acted as the data gatherer for Ireland’s festivals.
