Only one in ten headliners at UK's top music festivals this summer will be women, study finds
"I think a lot of festivals struggle by just going with what they know, and not really wanting to deviate from their norm," says Chris.
Of the 40 best-selling songs in the UK last year, only six were by female artists. That's 15%... roughly the same as the number of female headliners this summer. Many of the artists behind those songs - including Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo - are skipping the festival circuit to concentrate on their own tours.
They all have the potential to make the leap to headline status in 2023 and beyond. And there's no truth to the argument that the change will happen slowly.
