    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. https://georgestreetlive.ca/george-street-festival-2023/

    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.)
    https://churchillparkmusicfestival.com/

    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. https://icebergalleyconcerts.com/

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

    Then of course there is the Lawnya Vawnya festival, on
    right now:

    and the Sound Symposium, in even-numbered years:

    A second show was added for August 19 with Alanis Morisette,
    Feist, Meg Myers, and Kellie Loder. If that also sells out it
    means that Alanis Morisette will have pulled in 30,000 fans
    from an area with a population of about 200,000.
