I was struck by the number of female artists. I hope that phenomenon takes hold in the presentation of other subtypes of music of interest to us. (Yeeesh---what a sentence.)

I hadn't noticed; you're right, Rita.

I need to do some research and decide how much of the festival I want to catch. Getting the festival pass seems like over-kill, maybe. I'm not really knocked out with this list, but it could be my ignorance... Maybe, it's because I've been a recluse for too long and stopped acquiring new music. Recognizing many names, but unfamiliar with most of the projects. I hope some of you will chime in with your opinions.
