An event is making its debut in Vienna this fall: "Loud & Proud" will take place on November 21 and 22 at Flucc and is considered the first "metal festival for all those who have not felt seen before," as the organizers announced on Tuesday. The focus is on bands whose members are diverse and not exclusively male: artists who demonstrate "how varied, independent, and powerful" this music style can be, "far from stereotypical images of masculinity."
In addition to the concerts, visitors can expect, according to the organizers Heavy Lezzers - Cult of Heavy Metal Lesbians and Allies, a panel discussion on exclusions and new perspectives in metal, drag performances, open rounds of Dungeons & Dragons, retreats for talking, networking, and feeling comfortable. The festival is deliberately not commercially oriented. Tickets are available .
