UPDATE March 14, 2022
Sadly, VERSA Festival has been canceled a few months shy of its inaugural event. Per the festival's website, "Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, VERSA Festival will not be taking place in Chicago this June. All ticket purchases will be fully refunded. Stay tuned for future updates." We were really looking forward to this event and are hoping for a comeback at some point in the future!

In addition to an all-female music lineup, attendees will also be able to laugh with comedians and listen to speakers with messages of body positivity, gender expression, sustainability, and social justice. In between sets, festivalgoers will have access to some of the best female chefs from Chicago and around the country.
Headlining the music side of things are Ellie Goulding and Kali Uchis. Also featured is Kim Petras, Monica, Liz Phair, Mon Laferte, Jamila Woods, Young M.A, Ingrid Andress, Yuna, Big Freedia, YEИDRY, Laura Jane Grace, salem ilese, and many more.
