FEM FEST 2025: Step Up! and Celebrate
WORM welcomes you to celebrate 50 years of feminism in Rotterdam. Warm up and be re-energized by our amazing DJs, hailing from abroad and from around the corner. Here’s the line-up!
DJ Leona Bruxx
Leona is witch. Through music, she found a way to connect with her inner power and share that with others on the dancefloor. Unapologetic, fierce, and mystical, she will cast a spell on you. Finding inspiration in Latin music’s percussive and ritualistic rhythms, she will make you shake your booty like there’s no tomorrow. Will you join her coven?

DJ Rokia Bamba
Born in Brussels in 1974, Rokia Bamba is among the first Belgian voices to speak, broadcast and comment on Hip-Hop music on the airwaves of free radio stations in Brussels. She devotes her sets to the eclecticism of black music: from the Maloya of Reunion Island to the techno of Detroit and Chicago, including the post-disco of ESG, the kuduro of Kapiro, the rumba of Soumaro and South African Gospel.
"By launching into DJ-ing, I immediately made the choice to put my talent at the service of Afro-feminist, anti-racist, LGBTQI groups and collectives. I am a black woman, a mother, an artist, an activist…"

“Wildly confrontational, thoroughly cathartic, and somehow very feminine while looking to transcend and trample over everything that femininity should be." (Creative Review)
