If you've already missed Adele at Glastonbury (as well as a chance to take a peek around the festival's new women's-only venue, The Sisterhood), not all hope is lost. An incredible selection of women are slated to perform in July and August across festivals and venues across the U.K. — with musical and performing styles to suit every palate.
Check out the females — fierce, fabulous, and incredibly talented — who are a must-see in the coming weeks.
Who: Haim
Where: Reading and Leeds Festivals
When: 26-28 August
The sunny California sister act of Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim are set to release their highly anticipated second album this summer, a follow-up to their debut album "Days Are Gone," from 2013, which was written in their parents' living room.
Having already been named BBC's Sound of 2013 and picked up the NME award for Best International Band, Haim's new material promises more of what we love: self-penned songs set to catchy, folk pop rock melodies.
"We've gone through a lot these last couple years," guitarist Danielle told Rolling Stone, explaining that the new album is about "trying to go back to your normal life, but realizing there is a difference." Not to be missed.
Who: Aluna Francis, half of AlunaGeorge
Where: Reading and Leeds Festivals
When: 26-28 August
Fans of the electronic music scene can't miss the pop alchemy of AlunaGeorge, the result of Aluna Francis' sugary-sweet vocals and producer George Reid's experimental beats.
The duo has been on everyone's lips since their crossover success last year, when DJ Snake remixed their song "You Know You Like It" and it soared to number 13 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Expect a new album out in September 2016 and catch them live at Reading and Leeds for a lesson in serious stage presence: London street meets R&B diva courtesy of Francis.
