Liveblog reviews: Big-name local bands at Yacht Club's very masculine closing day

Liveblog reviews of the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival focus on Sunday’s final day and the festival’s lineup of established and local acts at Harriet Island Regional Park. The gates opened about 25 minutes earlier than the 12:55 p.m. segment, with Los Angeles group Common People scheduled to take the stage shortly after that time. The Sunday lineup also includes local bands Heart to Gold, Couch, and Die Spitz, plus Australian folk singer Dope Lemon later in the afternoon. Evening performances feature Minneapolis groups Semisonic and Atmosphere, followed by headliners Cage the Elephant and The Strokes. Organizers reported that wildfire smoke and severe weather largely held back this weekend, but the article notes a reestablished air quality alert for Ramsey County and forecasts late-night thunderstorms. It also cites Book More Women data showing only 13.5% of performers this year are women, down from 20.5% last year.
