ABOUT VENUS GRRRLS:
VENUS GRRRLS are the northern alt-rock coven of your dreams. Based between Leeds, Newcastle and Liverpool, the five-piece force weaving goth-grunge intensity with evocative, otherworldly storytelling, and as a result, their music is as poetic as it is powerful.
Joining Sprints on their SOLD-OUT ‘Letter To Self’ tour in April 2024, VENUS GRRRLS had a packed summer schedule performing at Liverpool’s Sound City, Kendall Calling, Y Not Festivals before making their debut at Isle Of Wight and Reading & Leeds. Shortly after, the band embarked on their September headline tour where they sold-out multiple dates including London, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol and Birmingham. This year, the band made another round of impressive festival debuts at SXSW in the US, Block Party in France, Download Festival and 2000Trees in the UK. They played their biggest headline shows to date in October 2025.
With their breakout track ‘Divine’ dubbed “a glorious start to 2024” by DIY Magazine, the band quickly made their mark. Following with singles ‘Bloodsick’ and ‘Darla,’ VENUS GRRRLS continued to craft delicate yet thunderous soundscapes, underpinned by deep, lyrical storytelling. The band released ‘Eighteen Crows’ in March 2025, a track born of their recent artistic partnership with Max Helyer (You Me At Six) and Numen Studios, which has continued with their latest ‘3×3’.
VENUS GRRRLS’ efforts 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 been spotlighted by 101 Part Times Jobs Podcast, ITV Calendar and BBC Look North also.
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. Earlier this 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).
