“The lineup is truly insane and full of my heroes and friends,” Rodrigo said in an Instagram post. “I firmly believe that joy, community, and music can be the drivers of meaningful change and I’m hopeful this festival will be just that.”
Rodrigo said 100% of net proceeds will benefit charities dedicated to advancing and advocating for women and girls.
