Voice of Baceprot (VoB), an all-girl Muslim metal band from Indonesia, is set to make history by performing at the UK's iconic Glastonbury Festival, their biggest stage yet. The band, formed by three teenage girls ten years ago, challenges stereotypes about Islam and the toxic masculinity often associated with heavy metal music. VoB bassist Widi Rahmawati mentioned that metal is considered 'satanic music' in her village and is deemed 'not suitable for women.' The young artists, who wear hijabs, have been advocating for gender equality and peace through their music.
