Brandi Carlile Announces Girls Just Wanna Weekend with All-Female Lineup
Brandi Carlile has something to prove – that female talent is not only worth booking but is bankable too. And so, the first Girls Just Wanna Weekend, featuring a lineup of all women, was born. Set for January 30th through February 3rd at the Hard Rock Rivera Maya in Mexico, the lineup will include Carlile, Maren Morris, Indigo Girls, Margo Price, Patty Griffin, Lucius, KT Tunstall, The Secret Sisters and Ruby Amanfu.
“Mainstream festivals in the U.S. habitually exclude women as headline artists equal to men,” said Carlile in a statement. “I was brought up by Lilith Fair to believe that men and women enjoy live music equally and that women can not only headline a festival — they can BE a festival.
I’m proud to announce that our festival has an ALL female-fronted lineup. I would absolutely LOVE to see a ton of men there supporting women in rock and roll; I want to see mothers with children, single people, LGBTQ brothers and sisters letting it all go for a weekend together in harmony (with bottomless tequila on hand to assist).”
Carlile, an award-winning Americana-folk-rock singer/songwriter, along with organizers Cloud 9 Adventures and concert promoters Bowery Presents, aims to create an event that provides a safe, inclusive, and absolutely fun environment. Besides music including three performances by Carlile, the event will offer numerous activities such as “Brandioke” (you sing vocals while Carlile and friends are your band), yoga, theme nights, stuff for kids and more.
Tickets will be available for presale on Tuesday, July 31 for members of Carlile’s Bramily Fan Alliance. Packages go on sale to the general public starting at 12 p.m. ET on Wednesday August 1. For more details and booking information click on the links below.
