Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) - Amidst a summer filled with poor ticket sales and tour cancellations, Lilith Fair put 10 of its dates on the chopping block. Others are being moved to smaller venues.
The first Lilith Fair festival in eleven years and initially one of the most anticipated tours of the year, the tour cancelled dates scheduled for Salt Lake City, Montreal, Raleigh, Charlotte, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Birmingham, Austin, Houston, and Dallas.
The tour features Sarah McLachlan performing nightly, and other artists like Mary J. Blige, Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, Kelly Clarkson, Sheryl Crow and Selena Gomez, among others, performing on select dates of the tour.
Clarkson's participation narrowed from originally announce dates, while Norah Jones dropped out of her previously confirmed dates as well prior to the announcement.
“We are in the midst of one of the most challenging summer concert seasons with many tours being cancelled outright," Lilith co-founder Terry McBride. "Everyone involved with the tour would like to apologize to the fans and artists scheduled to play in these markets, and express appreciation for all the support for the festival’s return. Lilith remains the only tour of its kind, and we are confident that fans will be amazed by what each date has to offer.”
It's been a summer filled with tour cancellations for various reasons. Among them, Maxwell and Jill Scott, Christina Aguilera, Jonas Brothers, John Mayer, and more.
