triple j is putting Girls To The Front for International Women's Day 2016

Next Tuesday is International Women's Day and to celebrate triple j is once again getting Girls To The Front in a big way with special programming and content.

Your favourite triple j ladies will be hanging out with you and playing music made by women all day long.

You'll wake up to Linda Marigliano on Breakfast, followed by Zan Rowe on Mornings, Gemma Pike at Lunch, Veronica and Lewis Gen Fricker on Drive, KLP on Good Nights, and a special episode of The Racket hosted by Karina Utomo of heavy-hitters High Tension.

triple j Unearthed will play the best independent music made by women from all around the nation. Melbourne's hyper-garage punk galpals LAZERTITS will take over the radio at 2pm to spin their local female faves. At 5.30pm, Unearthed SuperUser Kristy Barker will take a step into the music industry by hosting her first ever show on Tops!

Over on Double J, Myf will have Natalie Prass and Ibeyi in the guests chair at Lunch. At 3pm, author and music journalist Jessica Hopper presents two hours of female music-makers. At 6pm, the Classic Album replay will see Caz Tran go deep on Lauryn Hill's seminal 1998 debut The Miseducation Of... then Sydney DJ/radio presenter Lorna Clarkson presents an all-female edition of electronic, dance, future pop, and experimental genres on Something More.

Heaps of your favourite artists will be getting in on the action, too.

Last year, Meg Mac, Alison Wonderland, Julia Stone, and Adalita picked their favourite female artists and on Tuesday, more kick-ass Australian and international artists will introduce you to the women who inspired them.

You'll hear from Tkay Maidza, Alpine, Sampa The Great, Tired Lion, Sarah Blasko as well as Lauren from Chvrches, MS MR, MØ, Halsey, Little Simz, and many more.

But we also want to hear from you: If there's an awesome female artist that's inspired you in your life, we want to know about it! Shoot us your stories using the hashtag #GirlsToTheFront and follow all the action online here.
