Activist, euphoric festival fixture and globe-trotting DJ. The Blessed Madonna wants you to have fun, yet at the same time she wants to change the electronic dance music world and… the world. We’re very proud to welcome her to Way Out West.

Marea Stamper is her real name. As the first female ever she was named DJ of the year by Mixmag in 2016 and she graced the cover of the magazine wearing a giant golden crown. A few years ago DJ Mag wrote about her: “Finding her own teenage sanctuary from bullying in the Midwest’s ’90s rave scene, she’s become a force seeking to correct what has gone awry in electronic music since its idealistic beginnings, from addressing the huge gender inequality and issue of safety in clubland, to platforming the marginalised voices without whom house music wouldn’t exist.”

The Blessed Madonna will perform in Slottsskogen (Dungen stage) on Saturday Aug 12. Buy your tickets HERE!
