The return of Lilith Fair


Live Nation presents 2010 Lilith Fair featuring Sarah McLachlan, Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert, Emmylou Harris, Ingrid Michaelson, and more at the Comfort Dental Amphitheatre (the former Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, ugh, worst name change ever!) on Tuesday, July 13.

Much like the original Lilith Fair, there will be 11 artists on each date, with only two things staying the same every show: the Lilith Local Talent Search Ourstage.com winner who starts the day, and headliner Sarah McLachlan. The remaining acts on the line-up are constantly rotating from among more than 80 acts.

Artists performing on the second stage are Metric, Anjulie and Erin McCarley. Artists performing on the third stage are Rosie Thomas, Anya Marina and the Our Stage Winner.

Nearly 11 years since the last Lilith tour, the excitement surrounding the festival’s return grows daily.

Check out some of the initial responses to the news:
