LILITH FAIR Returns in 2010 - Update

MUSIC NEWS - Nearly 6 months ago it was announced via Twitter that LILITH FAIR, the all-female festival would make its return next year.  This week, the new, official Lilith 2010 website launched, with a new look and feel of Lilith 10 yrs later, and the basic info with the group of cities that the show will be hitting--New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, London and more.  

No confirmation on dates, venues or artists yet; “I can’t reveal anything further now,” says the fests' co-founder, Terry McBride of the tour, “but I can assure fans that we have some exciting announcements over the course of the following weeks, from confirmed artists to additional cities to innovative social initiatives. Lilith 2010 is very much upon us.”

So we gather that Lilith 2010 will be a much bigger summer festival than it was previously, travelling overseas for the first time (London announced so far) with a mix of international artists and local up-and-comers. From 1997 through 1999, Lilith Fair was one of the highest grossing touring festivals in the world, with over 1.5 million fans attending and over $10 million dollars raised for national and local charities. Founded by Grammy-award winning artist Sarah McLachlan along with Dan Fraser, Marty Diamond and  Terry McBride, Lilith Fair was the only tour of its kind; a celebration of women in music featuring artists like Sheryl Crow, Christina Aguilera, Erykah Badu, The Dixie Chicks, Missy Elliot, The Pretenders, Nelly Furtado, Jewel, Queen Latifah, Indigo Girls, Tegan and Sara and not surprisingly, Sarah McLachlan.
