Brandi Carlile Announced the 2nd Annual Girls Just Wanna Weekend Festival
After a very successful launch last year, Brandi Carlile has announced the second installment of her Girls Just Wanna Weekend Festival in Mexico.
While Brandi Carlile will be doing three sets to headline her own music festival, Sheryl Crow, Patty Griffin, Lucius, Amanda Shires, Lake Street Dive, Jade Bird, Yola, KT Tunstall, Ruby Amanfu, Natalie Hemby, Katie Herzig, and Wanda Sykes will also be joining the party.
The point of this festival is beautiful. Carlile has expressed her desire to fix the lack of female representation in the mainstream festival circuit. Because there were so few spots for female artists in a lot of the most popular festivals, Carlile decided to just create her own. It went so incredibly well last year that she brought it back again.
The 2020 Girls Just Wanna Weekend will take place January 29th through February 2nd at the Hard Rock Hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico.
