Lilith Fair Returnth

Hold onto your Biore nose strips -- the for-the-ladies music festival known as Lilith Fair is coming back in the summer of 2010.

Lilith Fair originally ran from 1997 to 1999 and featured such luminaries as Christina Aguilera, Tegan and Sara, Missy Elliott, Erykah Badu, The Dixie Chicks, and the Indigo Girls. Our Holy Lady of Lilith, co-founder Sarah McLachlan, plans to take the festival overseas for the first time, as well as touring extensively in the U.S. No dates have been set, but Chicago is one of the cities the Lilith Fair will visit.
