Based on comments by one of Lilith’s founders, Sarah McLachlan, “Lilith Fair” is probably not going to exist anymore.

The 2010 version of Lilith, a concert tour featuring women, certainly was not the huge success financially as it was in its first year back in 1997 when it toured each summer until 1999. When it was renewed in 2010, the sales were so bad that certain shows had to be moved to smaller locations and some didn’t happen at all.

Based on information from the Globe and Mail Canadian newspaper, McLachlan seems to announce that Lilith is done for good.

She said in the interview, “It’s done. And that’s okay. [It’s] actually a good thing. It’s about learning more from our failures than our successes, and it was a beautiful organic event that happened at a point in time when it was really needed. And bringing the same thing back last year really didn’t make any sense, in retrospect, without due diligence being done on how women have changed. Because in 12 years, women have changed a lot. Their expectations have changed, the way they view the world has changed, and that was not taken into consideration, which I blame myself for.”

However, McLachlan did not entirely oppose coming back with a new version of Lilith. She indicated that she might take some positive parts of Lilith and “maybe doing something new and different.”
