EXCLUSIVE: Lilith Fair bound for Birmingham
By Wade KwonDate, location, lineup to be announced
Lilith Fair is headed for Birmingham. The tour stop is among 36 cities announced for the summer/fall tour through Canada and the United States.
The traveling music festival features a nearly all-female lineup, including Birmingham native Emmylou Harris. Other announced artists include Sarah McLachlan, Brandi Carlile, The Go-Go’s, Erykah Badu, Sugarland, Ingrid Michaelson, Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha, Loretta Lynn, Norah Jones and Jill Scott. No word on who will perform in Birmingham, other than McLachlan.
Our best estimate places the Birmingham date in September. The likely venue would be the Verizon Wireless Music Center, given that Live Nation is producing the tour and owns the amphitheater.
Ticket prices for other cities range from $45 to $260.
The festival previously toured from 1997 to 1999, but the 2010 tour marks its first visit to Birmingham. Other nearby stops include Atlanta and Nashville.
Update April 11: Lilith Fair will take place at 2:30 p.m. Aug. 12 at the Verizon Wireless Music Center. Tickets, $41 to $282, go on sale Saturday through Ticketmaster. No lineup has been announced.
