Female Artists Take Center Stage This Mar. 21, 2026 at Lilet Fair
Women in music and the arts take center stage this March, and it’s just so right.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, GNN is highlighting the voices, visions, and the quiet power of women who continue to shape the local entertainment industry onstage and behind the scenes through the Lilet Fair.
Drawing inspiration from Sarah McLachlan’s iconic Lilith Festival from the 90s, the Lilet Fair is a multi-format showcase featuring music, comedy, improv, drag, and visual art — designed as a space where women lead, create, and thrive.
“Lilet Fair is a women-centered music and creative space that amplifies not just performers, but the women working behind the scenes who power the industry,” said GNN Production Head Milley Habito. “By creating platforms like this, we foster representation, mentorship, and real opportunities, proving that when women are centered, the entire music community thrives.”
Headlining the Lilet Fair are some of the most prominent artists in OPM, including pop-rock royalty Barbie Almalbis, Filipino singer-songwriters Clara Benin, syd hartha, Janine Berdin, August Wahh, Coeli, and Shane Dandan.
Other artists in different disciplines will also shine, with acts like A || Z, Lady Boses, M1SS Jade So, and Inah Demons.
More than the stage, the event will also feature women-led booths and creative spaces — from floristry and ceramics to tattoos and live art — celebrating women entrepreneurs and self-expression in all forms.
Ahead of the main event, GNN will host “She Means Business: Women Paving The Way,” a panel discussion featuring women who are making significant contributions to the indie music scene behind the scenes: Alex Majam, co-owner of Jess & Pat’s; Bel Certeza, label head at EMI Records Philippines; Katrina Romero, manager of Over October; Kris Rocha, founder and music photographer at Neon Oven; and Ziera De Veyra, head of Funky Beat Entertainment.
While women have often driven culture forward, many continue to face barriers, from underrepresentation to unequal opportunities. Through this initiative, GNN honors those who build communities, open doors for others, and turn creativity into collective change.
“This celebration is not only about championing female practitioners in music and entertainment, but also about recognizing the female fans and pro-women advocates who actively support the local music scene,” shared Marie Lara Pauline Bobier, GNN’s Event Director.
