Museum of Youth Culture hosts a landmark exhibition and festival celebrating women in music.
The Museum of Youth Culture is presenting the inaugural UP YOURS! GOD SAVE THE QUEENS festival, an extensive London-wide programme scheduled to run from July to November 2026. The festival celebrates women's contributions to music and art through a series of special events across the city.
Central to the programme is a landmark exhibition hosted by the Museum of Youth Culture under the title 'God Save the Queens'. Alongside this exhibition, the festival features a historic live performance by a newly formed supergroup bringing together pioneering musicians from legendary bands X-Ray Spex, The Raincoats, and The Slits.
In addition to live music and exhibition displays, the London festival will host a dedicated talks programme examining women's cultural impact, accompanied by the release of previously unheard material from Poly Styrene.
The festival unites foundational figures from influential punk bands such as The Slits, The Raincoats, and X-Ray Spex, spotlighting women's pioneering role in London's music and youth culture history.
