Over the years, WOW festivals have expanded to six continents, reaching over 5 million people. This year’s UK event in Manchester boasts a lineup ranging from Spice Girl Mel B to Australia’s former Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
WOW has evolved into a charitable foundation with a presence in 23 countries. Each WOW festival is created by local women, ensuring content that reflects the cultural context of each region.
