Brandi Carlile’s Girls Just Wanna Weekend returns for its 8th annual celebration January 14-18 with headline performances from Carlile, Kelly Clarkson and Sierra Ferrell along with sets from The Beaches, CMAT, Allison Russell, Brandy Clark, Lucius, Titans of Americana, Arroba Nat, Tish Melton, SistaStrings, Autumn Nicholas, The Carlile Family Band and The Marshgrass Mamas as well as comedian Kristin Key, with additional special guests and activities still to be announced.
Heralded as “the warmest festival all year if heat is being measured in friendship, nonjudgmental acceptance and a shared sense of social empathy as unifying factors,” by Variety, the festival will return to Mexico’s Barceló Maya Resort. Produced by 100x Hospitality, the all-inclusive experience features four days of music curated by Carlile as well as community driven events, artist-curated activities and workshops, “Brandi-oke,” off-site excursions and much more.
A limited number of packages are still available for the weekend, with additional rooms added at Barceló Maya Palace. Visit www.girlsjustwannaweekend.com for full details.
