Gigantic Tickets International Women's Day

International Women’s Day is a recognition of the achievements of women around the world. It shines a light on the positive inspirational actions of those making progress towards equality whilst raising awareness of the challenges that remain.

The call for a gender-equal world has never been greater nor louder, as women and their allies strive for a future free from bias, stereotyping and discrimination. Women’s equality can be achieved collectively as we look to #InspireInclusion.

Gigantic Tickets joins the celebration and shines a light on the trailblazing artists who inspire us.
