Lilith Fair announces 2010 lineup

Sarah — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:54:00 +0000

In even more awesome festival news, Lilith Fair has announced its lineup for the 2010 revival of the tour, and it’s nothing short of amazing. Named acts so far span all different genres, age groups, and demographics.

The lineup as it currently stands includes Brandi Carlile, Indigo Girls, Mary J. Blige, Metric, Sheryl Crow, Tegan and Sara, A Fine Frenzy, Butterfly Boucher, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Ingrid Michaelson, Janelle Monae, Tara MacLean, The Weepies, Vedera, and Zee Avi, and, of course, tour founder Sarah McLachlan. There are, of course, many more listed on the website, and it seems like more artists are yet to be announced.

All I can say is wow. Heck with the tough decision-making of Lollapalooza; I’m pretty sure that I’m going to have no idea how to choose between competing sets at this show.

No tour dates have been set yet, and no news on tickets, but I’m hoping that will be coming soon.
