The Return of Lilith Fair Continues to Grow with Talent
Cat Power, Heart, Loretta Lynn and Norah Jones are among the artists who have committed for the Lilith Fair tour this year. The itinerary continues to expand.
Other additions who have recently joined the lineup for the tour include Elizaveta, Toby Lightman, Melissa McClelland, Rosie Thomas, Priscilla Renea, Marina & The Diamonds, Lissie, Missy Higgins, Lights, Kate Nash, Julia Othmer, Frazey Ford, Erin McCarley, Ceci Bastida, Beth Orton, La Roux, Gossip and Loretta Sia. According to the press release for the tour, in coming weeks other major artists are going to be announced.
Loretta Lynn, in a statement said, I’m happy I was wanted for the Lilith tour. I’ve never done any shows with just girl singers before now. When I was just starting out, people said girl singers weren’t able to sell concert tickets or records. Since then we have come a really long way. We will have a great time when we’re out there.
A statement from Nancy and Ann Wilson of Heart said, we are absolutely thrilled that our future has Lilith 2010 in it. To be part of the power and depth is going to be beyond exciting. For women in this new decade it’s stunning intent.
Higgins said, Lilith Fair always was something I wish when I was a kid I had been cool enough to go to. Even if back then I had known about it, I was in Australia. Secretly I always hoped it would be brought back so I would be able to beg to be part of it. I am very excited they asked me. This will be the first Lilith that is taken out to a new generation.
Not only has the talent roster of the tour been expanded by the organizers, but the number of cities for the tour has nearly doubled. There will be a total of 32 cities with venues and dates to be announced.
The tour for 2010 Lilith Fair marks a return for the event after being on hiatus for 11 years. Artists that were previously confirmed include Metric, Miranda Lambert, Tegan and Sara, Ke$sha, Erykah Badu, Colbie Caillat, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige and Sarah McLachlan.
