Kimya Dawson to headline London Ladyfest
TheBoyDeadly by TheBoyDeadly April 16th, 2008

Kimya Dawson will headline this year’s Ladyfest, held from Friday the 9th ‘til Sunday the 11th of May in London.

The Camden Underworld will be the main venue used for the event, which also features performances from Slow Club, Kasms, The Bobby McGees and Comanechi. Robots in Disguise will be there too, headlining the Saturday, while Dawson tops Friday’s bill.

Saturday – from 5pm

+ magic from Mandy Muden; comedy from Rosie Wilby and Sarak Kendall; dance troupe The Actionettes and Twee as Fuck DJs

Ladyfest was launched in 2000 with the aim to “provide a platform for women in a creative sphere that is often dominated by men.” All profits from tickets sales – weekend tickets are available from WeGotTickets.com at a price of £40, though there are single day and other options – will go to charity.
