Brandi Carlile curated an all-female festival, Girls Just Wanna Weekend, in Riviera Maya, Mexico. The lineup looks solid with Maren Morris among one of the performers.

Carlile herself will be headlining the show with other acts by 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,” she told Nash Country Daily. “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,” Carlile continued. “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.”

Girls Just Wanna Weekend will be held at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya from January 30 – February 3. A variety of packages will be available. The pre-sale begins on July 31, and the public sale starts August 1. CLICK HERE for more information.
