Let's face it. The end of Janaury and the beginning of February are NOT good times to enjoy the outdoors in Minnesota (or the rest of the U.S. for that matter). But Brandi Carlile has a solution. After performing on a few Mexico/Carribean cruises, Carlile decided to do a land-based festival in Mexico from January 30-February 3. It's called "Girls Just Wanna Weekend." She writes:

This year we are going to make this happen in Mexico with a ridiculously fun group of my best friends ... Patty Griffin, Maren Morris, Margo Price, The Indigo Girls, Ruby Amanfu, The Secret Sisters and me! Some of us are new to the concept, including Lucius and KT Tunstall, but we will all be family when it's over.

Mainstream festivals in the US habitually exclude women as headline artists equal to men. 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).

Can you picture that?
