Girls to the Front is an Utrecht based initiative which focuses on the Dutch based FLINTA representation within the punk music industry. It started as an event on the 8th of march in dB’s by Bibi Fay Bannink, an 18 year old feminist punk fan with a plan. Which grew out to a compilation vinyl with 14 FLINTA fronted punk bands, called Girls to the Front. Which was released on the 8th of march 2025 in EKKO, and was followed by a tour throughout the Netherlands. Including Paradiso, VERA Groningen, Rotown, Wilde Weide and Down the Rabbit Hole Dj-set. 2026 will bring another compilation vinyl, another tour and a continued fight.
Girls to the Front doesn’t only celebrate the various ‘punk’ sounds created by FLINTA people that are alive and loud in the country, but also wants to dive in the intersectional struggles and inspirations people experience through the making of zines or through organizing more interdisciplinary events with poetry, film talks and panels.
Girls to the Front hopes to work towards a community of FLINTA people who can mosh together without constantly having to be cautious of the male dominance in spaces like this and take inspiration from the Riot Grrrl movement with modern implications and struggles. Most importantly we want all the FLINTA people to the front and we want them to collectively scream en mosh together and celebrate their identities through punk as a genre, but also a lifestyle.
Last March, Girls to the Front, Vol. 2 saw the light of day.
Line-up:
Supermarkt - Experimental superpunk noise. Absurd, obscene, and senseless.
Clitteband - Screaming, stomping, messing around, pushing back, and broadening boundaries. Hillywood represent.
The Woman - punk in attitude, open in emotion, and radical in honesty.

How to get to Paradiso
Paradiso is on the Weteringschans 6-8 in Amsterdam. That is very close to Leidseplein. From every part of the city there are trams heading towards Leidseplein. From there on out you can walk to Paradiso. Free and secured underground bike parking is available on the opposite side of Paradiso. Travelling by car is difficult, since there are only a few busy parking lots nearby.
