  Singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding takes jab at music festivals’ lack of female performance in a series of tweets according to the New York Daily News.

  The British singer posted a series of tweets after being the only woman on stage on a male-dominated music festival.

  Still so proud as a female artist to be headling and playing festivals around the world every single year.

  Thank you for continually believing in me. It always feels like a triumph to win so many people over who were waiting for a band

  Need to give myself credit sometimes as I've been doing this non stop for over seven years. I don't see many females at these festivals.
