WOW London 2027

Get ready for world class speakers, activists, performers, musicians and artists from across the world all in one place as we come together for three days of life-changing conversations and community.

WOW London 2027 is the place for inspiration and celebration, as well as frank conversations about the things making us rage and rally. You’ll hear incredible stories from across the world about everything from sex to finance, climate justice to housing security. And this year, festival goers will have the chance to take a deeper dive with events across the weekend dedicated to Boys and Men, exploring how we all work together; and Shameless! a coming together of activism and action for the eradication of  violence against women and girls. 

Since launching in 2010, more than 150 WOW Festivals and events have taken place in 71 places. As WOW returns to Southbank Centre for International Women’s Day weekend, everyone is invited to be part of this unforgettable festival. 

Festival goers will be able to book WOW Day Passes this summer giving you access to dozens of talks, workshops, performances and more, alongside a packed evening line-up of separately ticketed events featuring some of the world’s greatest thinkers and artists. There will also be family-friendly events, the return of the WOW Marketplace and plenty of free surprises to explore across the Royal Festival Hall. 

Speakers to be announced in the coming months! Sign up to the WOW newsletter for all the latest news.
