Initial Artists Confirmed for Lilth 2010

Sarah McLachlan and the 2010 Lilith Tour have revealed the first set of artists confirmed for next summer’s tour. Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Colbie Caillat, Ke$ha, Tegan and Sara, Miranda Lambert and Metric are among those set to join McLachlan on the road. Others include A Fine Frenzy, Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, Chairlift, Jill Scott, Sugarland, Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, Zee Avi and The Weepies.

This initial list of artists includes a few original members of the Lilith Fair of the late 90s, (Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, Indigo Girls, Tegan and Sara and Erykah Badu). Badu, who performed on the main stage in 1998, reflects on her initial Lilith run and why she has signed up again: “Magic happens when you bring this many artistic women together. I'll never forget the frequency and energy that I felt that first time I performed at Lilith. Between the sistas on stage and those in the audience, it was powerful!"

“The 2010 Lilith Tour isn’t just a celebration of women in music, but a celebration of diverse female voices across all genres,” says co-founder Terry McBride. “The original Lilith Fair broke down boundaries, and the new tour promises to do the same, with a mix of contemporary and classic, established and up-and-coming artists from the worlds of pop, rock, urban, country and more.”
