Paloma Faith says Glastonbury will 'go back to white men again' in brutal verdict of female-led line-up
Article here. Excerpt:
'Paloma Faith has hit out as the Glastonbury line-up as the festival attempts to diversify its performers.
The 42-year-old singer made the remarks as she addressed how there are now more women than men at Glastonbury for the first time following criticism about the lack of female headliners.
Due to previous backlash over the lack of diversity in the line-up, Dua Lipa, SZA and Shania Twain are taking the "Legend" slot.
However, Faith isn't sold by the changes and believes things could soon be back to how they were as she shared her blistering take.
"What tends to happen is they’ll diversify and include non-white races and women again, and everyone says, ‘Isn’t it great? We’re progressing’ – and then it goes back to white men again for years," she commented.'

How about...
... scheduling musicians people of either sex most want to see? Or is that too capitalist an idea?
