The first Lilith Fair may have had to prove its viability, but the return of Sarah McLachlan‘s touring lady music festival has to prove its relevance. If the first batch of line-ups is any indication, that won’t be a problem. McLachlan again headlines, but she’s hardly the only mega-star. Sheryl Crow, Mary J., Kelly Clarkson, and Erykah Badu join her, as do country stars Sugarland. But get this – acts like Marina and the Diamonds, Lucy Shwartz, La Roux, and even Lights are rounding out the bill. Not only is Lilith relevant, it’s still the rare event that’s as appealing to your mom as it is to you. Some dates go on sale March 27th, others not until April 3, and most of the cities have yet to be announced. The full list of artists is below. Oh, and guess who’s on the list? That’s right, our friend Ke$ha! Maybe she’ll bring her vocoder on tour with her. Maybe Norah Jones will duet with her! Maybe get alcohol poisoning and have to cancel a bunch of dates only to be replaced by Katy Perry!
