Celebrate International Women’s Day with These Female Artists in 2025
“Let’s go, girls!” Shania Twain created the quintessential rallying cry with her song “Man, I Feel Like a Woman!” nearly three decades ago. And what better occasion to bring out this female empowerment anthem than International Women’s Day? Taking place every March, this global celebration honors the achievements and contributions of women in all fields.
This includes the music industry, which is home to some of the most talented women on the planet. Twain is only one of the powerful female artists hitting the road in 2025 — being joined by pop stars, metal goddesses, K-pop idols, country queens and everything in between. Which of these female artists will you add to your concert calendar in honor of International Women’s Day? Check it out:
Sabrina Carpenter
You can’t be a fan of modern pop without hearing the name ‘Sabrina Carpenter’ in every corner. So who better to celebrate International Women’s Day with as a music fan? This pint-sized musical powerhouse has taken over the charts with Short n’ Sweet, her 2024 album featuring singles like “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste.” One Grammy award, multiple “album of the year” titles, and countless accolades later, she’s ready to take these songs on the road again. And we couldn’t be more thrilled about seeing one of the best female artists ever.
These Sabrina Carpenter concerts will take place in late 2025, with the singer performing multi-night residencies in Los Angeles, Nashville, New York and more. And since we already gave you the official outfit guide to a Sabrina Carpenter concert, there’s no excuse not to buy tickets immediately!
Alison Krauss
Alison Krauss is a country, bluegrass, and folk legend. Not only with her partner in crime, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, but also as a solo musician and one of the best female artists in the genre(s!) Her 2025 tour is a rare opportunity to see Krauss perform her solo hits, starting with 1986’s Different Strokes and continuing all the way through 2025’s Arcadia.
This marks her first album since 2021’s Raise the Roof with Plant, and gives you an inside look at Krauss’s angelic voice, virtuosic fiddle playing, and appreciation for all things Americana. A certified storyteller with a passion for music and masterful stories to match, you don’t want to miss these Alison Krauss concerts. Treat yourself today for International Women’s Day!
Spiritbox
In a scene ruled by men, Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox redefines the concept of feminism in the metal genre. The 2x-Grammy-nominated group has repeatedly led award campaigns with the slogan “Metal is for girls” to remind female artists of their power in heavy music. And with Spiritbox’s sophomore album, Tsunami Sea, coming out soon, it will only encourage more girls to get into a screaming state of mind.
Oli Sykes of Bring Me the Horizon has already given the record two thumbs up, praising Tsunami Sea for its experimental nature in the often-monotonomous Metalcore scene. Meanwhile, singles like “Soft Spine” and “Perfect Soul” have been blasting in the playlists of Metalheads for months now. Spiritbox will express their sense of girl power and beyond at their upcoming shows, with tickets available now for all dates…we’ll see you in the mosh pit!
GloRilla
“I felt super confident — like I could conquer the world and win,” GloRilla said about her debut record. “That’s why I named the album Glorious.” That’s the energy we love on International Women’s Day, right? After overhauling the hip-hop space over the past few years, earning accolades from legends like Kendrick Lamar, among others, GloRilla was long overdue for the spotlight she deserves as a rising female rapper.
Needless to say, she didn’t disappoint. Singles like “TGIF” and “Whatchu Kno About Me” helped the project reach No. 5 on the Billboard 200 — a career high for the 25-year-old rapper. Additionally, it features guest appearances from Sexyy Red, Megan Thee Stallion, Latto and other genre staples…further proving that GloRilla is the best of the best in hip-hop.
Beyoncé
From her beginnings as a member of Destiny’s Child, one of the best girl groups of all time, to her modern artistry that’s inspired women everywhere, Beyoncé has always been a symbol of empowerment. She’s one of the most prominent female artists of all time that becomes more powerful with each album, most recently taking over pop culture with Cowboy Carter.
Beyoncé trading in her sequin dresses and super-high heels for a cowboy hat? Believe it. The 11x-Grammy nominated project (!) is a concept album focusing on the history of Americana and the Black American musical pioneers who crafted it. And not only are these songs unbelievably catchy, they also symbolize Beyoncé’s fearlessness as a female artist. Will you be seeing her on the Cowboy Carter tour later this year? Get your tickets now.
Lainey Wilson
Set to embark on the Whirlwind tour later this year, Lainey Wilson has continuously proven herself as one of the most talented female artists of her time. The country music favorite is celebrating the release of her fifth album, Whirlwind, which features the female empowerment anthem “Good Horses” with Miranda Lambert. This project has also allowed Wilson to become a new-and-improved version of herself, both as an artist and as a human being.
“I found my footing through writing these songs and committing to a few good habits that have helped me become my best self,” she told GRAMMY.com. The past several years have been a, well, whirlwind for Wilson as she’s climbed the charts and gotten nominated for Grammy, Billboard, and CMT Awards, among other things. But her fans and music keep her grounded…and you can see what she’s made of on the Whirldwind tour later in 2025.
Dua Lipa
Feminism has always been a major part of Dua Lipa and her brand, from her empowering lyrics about female autonomy to her involvement with the Sunny Hill Foundation. You know, the charity that helps underprivileged women achieve their musical dreams, just like she did. Her groove-worthy singles are just the start of Lipa’s celebratory milestones on International Women’s Day, and we wouldn;t have it any other way.
As one of the most compelling female artists of her time, the 29-year-old singer will be heading out on her Radical Optimism tour in only a few months, named for her latest record that turns the stage into a dance floor. Are you prepared to sway the night away with new singles like “Houdini” and “Training Session?” Get your tickets now.
Gracie Abrams
Gracie Abrams has established herself as one of the most compelling voices in indie-pop, especially with her sophomore album, The Secret of Us! Featuring hit singles like “Close to You,” “Risk,” and “I Love You, I’m Sorry,” the record debuted at an impressive No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and solidified Abrams’ place as an indie-pop icon.
It also features a guest appearance by none other than Taylor Swift on “Us,” which has led many to wonder if Abrams is her protege. She did open for Swift on the much-talked about Eras tour, after all! However, anyone can see and hear that Abrams has an artistic style all her own, and you can witness it firsthand with tickets to her 2025 shows.
Lauren Daigle
Contemporary Christian pop has never been the same since Lauren Daigle came onto the scene, as her impeccable voice and inspirational faith impacts all who listen to her. Remember her 2018 album, Look Up Child, which made history when it spent its 100th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart in 2022?
We still have Christian pop favorites from that record, including “You Say” and “Still Rolling Stones,” on repeat years later. Of course, we also can’t forget her 2023 self-titled record that serves as a rebirth for Daigle as a musician. Songs like “Thank God I Do” have spoken to millions through their vulnerability and relatable verses….
And you can hear them all on Daigle’s upcoming tour. Are you ready to experience the power of Christ in some of the country’s grandest venues, from one of the best female artists of the 2020s? Buy tickets today.
Blackpink
It’s been nearly two years since K-pop sensation Blackpink hosted their sold-out Born Pink world tour, and fans were semi-concerned about if or when they’d see them together again. With members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa working on solo projects, would they have time to tour as Blackpink in the US? Luckily, the answer is yes…and you can’t miss your chance to see these K-pop idols.
With 40 billion streams and 20 million records sold worldwide, Blackpink is often credited with helping to bring K-Pop to the US. Remember the group’s history-making performance at Coachella Music Festival in 2023? Additionally, they’re often considered a leader in the “girl crush” sector of the genre, which explores self-confidence and female empowerment.
Basically, their singles including “How You Like That,” “Pink Venom,” and “Ice Cream” are essential for your International Women’s Day playlist. And you can blast these tracks while you buy tickets to the Blackpink concerts in four US cities this summer.
