Soon after Firefly Music Festival announced their lineup with Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Artic Monkeys, The Killers, ODESZA, Lil Wayne, Martin Garrix and MGMT, Halsey was quick to respond to the lack of females present on this year's lineup.
Despite SZA getting booked, the festival heavily lacks on the amount of female artists billed for the lineup. Halsey, who performed in 2015, wrote “damn guys come onnnnn. Where the women at?” She continued on to say that “this was one of my favorite festivals I've ever played at and it's a shame there's not more female on the bill. With the exception of (the amazing) SZA, the first like 20 acts on the bill are men. It's 2018, do better!!!”

Who am I supposed to “go off on” haha. Festivals ASK artists to play. Artists don’t ASK festivals if they can come. I’m just raising a point! So many dope women in music right now! https://t.co/WGtVO7u2xg
