   George Street Festival has taken a lot of flak over the years,   
   and this year is no exception, for not having female headliners.   
   That festival runs July 27 to August 2.

   But Churchill Park Music Festival, on Friday August 18,   
   is presenting Alanis Morisette, Metric, and Meg Myers,   
   and it is sold out already, though there is a wait list.   
   (I know Emily Haines of Metric from my time running the   
   music at the UBC grad centre, so maybe she could get me   
   in, but otherwise I am out of luck.)

   Also The Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival is   
   presenting headliners Amelia Curran, Kellie Loder,   
   and Iris Dement. (That festival is now the second   
   Fri+weekend in July instead of the Fri+weekend after the   
   first Wednesday in August as I still say on my home page,   
   which is in need of edits.)

   Those two are also doing better w.r.t. female headliners   
   than the iceberg Alley concert series, from June 14--23.

   Maybe Sarah McLachlan can come to one of the   
   four festivals next year, I guess stripped down   
   if it is the folk festival.
