What New Bands Belong on the Lilith Fair Stage in 2025?

A dream second-stage lineup for the would-be 2025 Lilith Fair that Sarah McLachlan hasn’t booked (yet)

Hi! I’m Caroline!
Gabbie is taking a much needed break, and has graciously allowed me to infiltrate her newsletter with music that she would probably never cover herself.1 There are many genres that you might use to describe Sarah McLachlan and her original Lilith colleagues, but post-punk is probably not one of them.2
In later years, the festival expanded its inclusion of artists to many other genres. I tried to maintain that in this, my hypothetical Lilith lineup. I hope you enjoy, and as always, let me know in the comments what I’m missing!
