Serena Ryder, The Beaches added to Iceberg Alley lineup

Singer-songwriter Serena Ryder and alt-rock band The Beaches have been added to the Iceberg Alley Performance Tent festival.

The 11-day event takes place next at Quidi VidiLake in St. John's from Sept. 12 to 22.

The two performers join a growing list of performers such as Alan Doyle, Big Wreck, Billy Talent, Matt Mays, Steve Earle and more.

Organizers took criticism in March for having a mostly-male lineup for Iceberg Alley. Both new additions to the festival Serena Ryder being a solo artist, and The Beaches being an all-woman four-piece band are female artists.

Tickets are available for individual nights, and full information can be found on the festival website.
