“It is difficult with female artists because there aren’t enough headliners. But we’re also creating them.
“We’re placing the bands and feminine artists on smaller phases and bringing them by on a regular basis. And who is aware of? Next 12 months we would get two. And definitely, I can say that the legend is feminine.”
