Women’s Online Energy Lights Up Live Rooms

The summer is about to get a whole lot more melodic, as Women That Rock is hitting the road with an ambitious five-city tour designed to inject some serious soul into music discovery.

This multi-market journey features two rising indie singer-songwriters, Abby Holliday and Charli Adams, bringing their emotionally direct songwriting and vibrant live presences to major hubs. The tour spans Washington, D.C., New York City, Boston, Chicago, and Nashville in August 2026, aiming to introduce both artists to thousands of new listeners.

This isn’t just a concert series; it’s a mission. Founded on the simple yet powerful belief that talented femme artists deserve equal visibility and robust support systems, Women That Rock is actively working to dismantle systemic barriers in the music industry.

Founder Andie Aronow explains that this multi-market tour represents the next vital chapter in their work. “We believe that highlighting incredible femme artists on stage, building infrastructure for women in music, and encouraging brands to invest in emerging femmes are essential steps,” she notes.

The initiative addresses a crucial reality: despite their talent, women remain significantly underrepresented across key areas of the music business, from festival lineups and radio programming to executive leadership. By prioritizing this touring and exposure, Women That Rock seeks to provide far more than just performances—they aim to create opportunities for audience development, media exposure, and long-term career growth.

Abby Holliday has cultivated a growing following through deeply authentic songwriting, while Charli Adams has garnered attention from major publications like NPR, Billboard, and The Fader. Placing these two artists on the same bill further emphasizes a commitment to encouraging collaboration over competition among women in music.

Organizers view the tour as a model for how intentional, community-led investment can propel sustainable careers forward. The goal is to show that investing in emerging talent yields powerful, lasting results.

Catch the start of this exciting journey: the Women That Rock Summer 2026 Tour kicks off August 7 in Washington, D.C. Keep an eye on Women That Rock’s Instagram account for all venue and ticketing details.
