ABOUT VENUS GRRRLS:
VENUS GRRRLS are the northern alt-rock coven of your dreams. Based between Leeds, Newcastle and Liverpool, the five-piece weave goth-grunge intensity with evocative, otherworldly storytelling and, as a result, their music is both poetic and powerful.
An ethereal force to be reckoned with on the live stage, VENUS GRRRLS have toured with the likes of SPRINTS and Nova Twins, as well as casting their spell at their own sold-out headline shows and illustrious events such as Liverpool’s Sound City, Kendall Calling, Y Not, Isle Of Wight, 2000trees, Download and Reading & Leeds. Expanding their coven internationally in 2025, VENUS GRRRLS played SXSW in the US and Block Party in France.
2026 is shaping up to be another formative year in the VENUS GRRRLS canon as they kicked it off with the mammoth earworm, grunge-up riffage of ‘3×3’, the inaugural release of new British indie Killabop. They have already toured with the mighty Nova Twins, played a big London show with Tigercub, and are looking ahead to a Spring and Summer that are STACKED. They’ll be heading to the BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend in Sunderland after receiving support from BBC Introducing and the Radio 1 Indie Show for ‘3×3’, playing at Rock For People in Czechia and gracing the stage at 2000trees Festival once more, amongst various other dates.
VENUS GRRRLS’ efforts to date have received radio recognition from tastemakers such as BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists and Selector Radio host Sian Eleri, BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq and Iggy Pop to name a few. Due to the whirlwind nature of the band’s momentum, VENUS GRRRLS achieved equally impressive press acclaim from the likes of Kerrang!, Guitar World, The Independent, CLASH, Upset, Rock Sound and more. They have also been spotlighted by 101 Part Times Jobs Podcast, ITV Calendar and BBC Look North. In moves that speak to their personal experience, VENUS GRRRLS align their artistry with impact. For their 2024 headline tour, the band partnered with stem cell transplant charity Anthony Nolan to raise awareness of stem cell donation. Last year, GK appeared in a short film by Teenage Cancer Trust before the band’s performance at the charity’s fundraising event.
VENUS GRRRLS are GK/Grace Kelly (lead singer/rhythm guitarist), Hannah Barraclough (Bass), Eliza Lee (lead guitar), Grace Stubbings (synth) and Alannagh Doherty (drums).
