You asked for it, you got it: Lilith Fair is not only back in 2010, but the lineup of "first round" of artists is incredible.
Announced via an email blast, Lilith unveiled nearly 40 artists set to participate in the all-women festival. Just take a gander at some of the lovelies in the lineup, to be headlined by Sarah McLachlan: Tegan and Sara, Brandi Carlile, the Indigo Girls, Sheryl Crow, Metric, A Fine Frenzy, Emmylou Harris, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, Corinne Bailey Rae, Erykah Badu, Sugarland, Tara MacLean, the Weepies and so many more.
"Being a part of Lilith Fair was inspiring on so many levels," Lilith Fair founder McLachlan said in a post announcing the details on LilithFair.com. "Besides discovering new music everyday and sharing the stage with an incredible array of talented women, it was wonderful to see established and new artists alike have the opportunity to play in front of much larger or more diverse audiences than usual. With that in mind, I am thrilled to announce the first set of artists for Lilith 2010."
Crow, Harris, the Indigo Girls, Tegan and Sara and Badu participated in Lilith during its three-year run in the late '90s.

"Sara and I played one of the last Lilith Fair shows ever 10 years ago in Edmonton, Alberta," Tegan Quinn said on the site. "We only played one show and it was on the smallest stage, in the rain, to nearly no one. And yet, for the past 10 years, it continues to come up in almost every interview and is something we honestly look back on as a very important event in our career. The impact of Lilith Fair was felt all over the world, and its significance still resonates with women and the music industry itself 10 years later. We are proud to be a part of it again and are truly excited that Lilith is back.
