As a border city with a strong feminist presence, El Paso may appreciate the festival's nod to the groundbreaking Lilith Fair, which paved the way for female-led music events. With Rodrigo's music festival featuring an all-women lineup, including notable artists like Bikini Kill and Stevie Nicks, it will be interesting to see if El Paso's own music venues and event organizers take inspiration from this initiative to promote more female-led music events in the city.
