Girls Just Wanna Weekend 2027 lineup: Brandi Carlile, Kelly Clarkson, and more

The Girls Just Wanna Weekend 2027 lineup brings together established stars, emerging performers, and returning festival favourites. Its three headliners reflect the musical variety that has become central to the event.

Brandi Carlile returns to her signature festival

As the festival’s founder and curator, Brandi Carlile remains at the heart of Girls Just Wanna Weekend. Her powerful vocals, storytelling, and deep connections within the music industry have helped shape the gathering into a celebration of talent and community.

Brandi Carlile’s Girls Just Wanna Weekend places particular emphasis on women and non-binary performers, bringing together artists whose music spans different genres and generations.

Beyond her headline performance, Carlile’s creative influence can be felt throughout the event, from the selected line-up to the collaborative atmosphere and artist-led activities.

Kelly Clarkson joins the 2027 celebration

One of the biggest announcements for 2027 is the addition of Kelly Clarkson, whose celebrated vocals and extensive catalogue make her a major attraction.

Known for hits including Since U Been Gone, Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), and Because of You, Clarkson has built a career around powerful performances that connect with audiences across generations.

The Kelly Clarkson Girls Just Wanna Weekend appearance offers fans an opportunity to experience her music in a resort festival setting, alongside other acclaimed performers.

Sierra Ferrell brings her distinctive Americana sound

Sierra Ferrell completes the headline trio, bringing her blend of country, folk, bluegrass, and Americana to the Caribbean.

Her expressive vocals and vintage-inspired musical style complement Carlile’s roots-oriented approach while offering something different from Clarkson’s pop anthems.

More artists joining the line-up

Beyond the headliners, the announced programme features an impressive collection of musicians, including returning favourites and artists bringing fresh perspectives to the event.

Beyond the Main Stage: Poolside music and the Brandi Land experience

Poolside performances with a Caribbean backdrop

For 2027, the Pool Stage is moving to the Riviera Pool, creating a setting where guests can enjoy live performances from the water, surrounding deck, or nearby beach. Swim-up bars, shaded seating, and relaxed daytime sets provide a different atmosphere from the evening Main Stage concerts.

It is an opportunity to enjoy live music without leaving the resort’s leisure facilities behind, with time to swim, relax, or simply listen between performances.

For 2027, the Pool Stage is moving to the Riviera Pool.

Brandi-oke and artist-led activities

One of the festival’s signature traditions is Brandi-oke, a karaoke experience that brings artists and guests together through familiar songs and shared enthusiasm.

The wider programme also features community events, creative workshops, and artist-led activities. Previous editions have included discussions, performances, games, and interactive sessions hosted by musicians and special guests.

A community connected through music

Girls Just Wanna Weekend has developed a reputation for its welcoming atmosphere, particularly among its predominantly LGBTQ+ audience.

The focus on women and non-binary artists extends beyond the line-up, creating an environment where guests can connect through shared musical interests and experiences.
