Lilith Fair '99 To Be Tour Swan Song, Lollapalooza Still Seeking Headliner

As promoters for this summer's package tours start hammering out line-ups and itineraries, organizers behind the Lilith Fair have announced that the femme music fest will be calling it quits after this year's go-around.

A spokesman at Little Big Man, the booking agency which handles the festival, says that singer Sarah McLachlan and Lilith organizers had only planned on doing three editions of the tour since the idea was first pitched.

McLachlan will once again be spearheading this year's Fair, and will appear on all of the tour's dates in Europe, North America and Australia. Other acts on the bill are expected to be announced over the next few months, and tickets for the U.S. concerts will go on sale in May.

Lilith '99 is expected to launch its farewell edition in Europe in June, with the North American leg kicking off on July 8 and running through August 31. The festival will then travel down under for an Australian goodbye in November.

In other tour news, Lollapalooza

is still hoping to make a triumphant return after taking last year off, although it has still not named who a headline acts for this summer's outing.

Guns N' Roses had reportedly been offered a spot on Lolla '99, but a spokesperson at the group's management firm of Big F.D. Entertainment says that Axl Rose and his cast of characters had yet to receive such an offer.

Tour co-founder Ted Gardner also said that while artists such as the Offspring, No Doubt and Marilyn Manson have all been contacted about this year's Lollapalooza, none of the groups had officially been offered a slot.
