For this inaugural fest, Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li has assembled an all-female lineup of musicians that ranks among this summer’s best festival lineups. In addition to Lykke Li, Cat Power, Courtney Love and the Chateau Band, Cat Power, SOPHIE, CupcakKe, Megan Thee Stallion, Kelsey Lu and Empress Of have all been tapped to play the single-day fest at Los Angeles State Historic Park.
Yola Día (initially announced as Yola Fest, and later moved from June 8 to August 18) takes its name from Yola Mezcal, a female-run venture from Yola Jimenez, Gina Correll Aglietti and Lykke Li. A portion of proceeds will go to the Downtown Women’s Center.
