It's once again the time of year when festival organizers remind us warmer weather is coming by revealing their lineup.
CounterPoint Music Festival outside of Atlanta is no exception, having last week revealed a lineup consisting of Zedd, The Roots, Kygo, Dillon Francis, RL Grime, Knife Party, Chet Faker, Robert DeLong, Travi$ Scott and a number of other Variance favorites.
Missing from the lineup, however, is a single female act, as Claire Schlissel of New York DJ-producer duo The Jane Doze pointed out over the weekend.
Not a single female act on @cntrpntmusic's lineup this year. @cntrpntmusic this is not ok. #ChangeTheRatio pic.twitter.com/a07hIosg18

So surely a budget that allows for Zedd and The Roots has room for more.
We reached out to CounterPoint for comment but have yet to hear back.
