Billie Eilish Talks Lack Of Female Performers At Festivals

Billie Eilish may perhaps be just one of the youngest stars to split into stardom as of late, but she’s unquestionably one particular of the wisest. The “Bad Guy” singer has normally been vocal about her qualms with the tunes sector, like when she was hesitant to take her Grammy simply because of the accusations of unfair voting and a poisonous lifestyle at the corporation. In a new job interview with NME, she talked about the deficiency of representation for gals at new music festivals.

“It’s so great to be a young girl and headline festivals, due to the fact it is so male-dominated,” she claimed. “I went through a tough patch in 2017 and 2018, feeling hopeless about the foreseeable future of gals in tunes. I would see these line-ups for festivals and it was all dudes. And it was all artists I favored, but it was just like, ‘When will women be included?’”

She additional: “Women have to have a million back-up dancers and a million costume adjustments and their hair accomplished, and crazy costumes and stage set-up. I love male performers, but they barely have to do shit to have a present that folks like, and women are anticipated to have the largest exhibit. I’m tired of sensation like we have to do that to really feel ample. If you want to do that, then that’s so excellent, but I bear in mind wondering that I would never be equipped to headline nearly anything mainly because of individuals expectations.”
