A guide to this year's festival tours
(Excerpt)
LILITH FAIR
WHAT: Sarah McLachlan's second annual all-woman
blowout drops the peasant-skirt dress code and adopts a more varied lineup.
LINEUP: Lilith newcomers Lauryn Hill, Erykah
Badu, Sinead O'Connor, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, Missy "Misdemeanor"
Elliott, Queen Latifah and Liz Phair join Paula Cole, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl
Crow and the Indigo Girls, who all return from last year.
WHEN: Fifty-seven North American dates from June
19th through August 31st
COST: $25 to $35
ADDED VALUE: Lilith's village gives sponsors
(Starbucks, Biore and life-insurance providers Royal Neighbors of America)
a place to shill their wares.
THE WORD: "It'll be great playing with all the
ladies -- I love the idea," Phair says. "It looks like a lot of fun, and
all those women are really impressive -- I'm gonna definitely make the
backstage rounds."
Rolling Stone, July 9-23, 1998
