Lilith Fair is falling victim to the economic crisis- with promoters cancelling tour stops in Tennessee and Arizona, due to poor ticket sales and performer cancellations.

Norah Jones, who was scheduled to play 5 dates, has backed out, as well as the Go-Go’s, who were forced to scrap their dates when guitarist Jane Wiedlin was injured will hiking.

Three of the Canadian dates have been moved to smaller venues. Festival co-founder Terry McBride says:

“We’re in the middle of a recession. The interesting thing is we’re stronger than most, but tickets are soft. Stateside has definitely been hurt a lot more. Canada, I think, has been affected by the recession, America has been slammed by it.”
