'''Lilith Fair''' was a [[concert tour]] and travelling [[music festival]], founded by Canadian musician [[Sarah McLachlan]], [[Nettwerk Music Group]]'s [[Dan Fraser]] and [[Terry McBride (CEO)|Terry McBride]], and New York talent agent Marty Diamond. It took place during the summers of 1997 to 1999, and was revived in the summer of 2010. It consisted solely of female solo artists and female-led bands. In its initial three years, Lilith Fair raised over $10 million for charity.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=128588089 |title=With Sales Lagging, Lilith Fair Faces Question Of Relevance |last=Pellegrinelli |first=Lara |date=July 19, 2010 |publisher=[[NPR]] |access-date=May 30, 2015}}</ref>

==History==
In 1996, Canadian musical artist [[Sarah McLachlan]] became frustrated with concert promoters and radio stations that refused to feature two female musicians in a row.<ref name="cnn072898">{{cite news | url=http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/Music/9807/28/lilith.fair/ | title=Lilith Fair: Lovely, lively and long overdue | first=Donna |last=Freydkin | publisher=[[CNN]] | date=1998-07-28 | access-date=2008-07-04}}</ref> Bucking conventional industry "wisdom", she booked a successful tour for herself and [[Paula Cole]]. At least one of their appearances together—in [[Vancouver]], British Columbia on September 14, 1996—went by the name "Lilith Fair" and included performances by McLachlan, Cole, [[Lisa Loeb]], and [[Michelle McAdorey]], formerly of [[Crash Vegas]].

The next year, McLachlan founded the Lilith Fair tour, taking ''Lilith'' from the Jewish lore that [[Lilith]] was [[Adam]]'s first wife who refused to be subservient to him.<ref>{{Cite magazine|date=2017-07-05|title=Lilith Fair at 20: Sarah McLachlan & Co-Founders Look Back on the All-Female Festival That Smashed Touring's Glass Ceiling |url=https://www.billboard.com/culture/events/lilith-fair-oral-history-sarah-mclachlan-anniversary-7849320/ |access-date=2021-12-02|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]}}</ref>

In 1997, Lilith Fair garnered a $16 million gross, making it the top-grossing of any touring festival.<ref name="cnn072898"/> Among all concert tours for that year, it was the 16th-highest grossing.<ref name="cnn072898"/> McLachlan followed this success with two more rounds, in 1998 and 1999.

In 2010, Lilith Fair staged a revival with mixed results, as several dates were cancelled and many performers backed out of scheduled performances.

In March 2011, McLachlan declared that the Lilith concept was no longer being considered for future shows, due to changing audience views and expectations.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/sarah-mclachlan-says-lilith-fair-is-over/article569791/ | title=Sarah McLachlan says Lilith Fair is over | first=Marsha |last=Lederman | work=[[The Globe and Mail]] | date=2011-03-08 | access-date=2011-03-10}}</ref>

Three volumes of ''[[Lilith Fair: A Celebration of Women in Music]]'' documented the performances.

==Performers==

===1997===
The artists appearing at Lilith Fair varied by date (with McLachlan and Suzanne Vega the only artists to play all dates). Appearances were organized into three stages. Almost all Village Stage artists performed only one or two dates. Many of them won slots on the bill in a series of local talent searches in their home cities.

==2010 revival==
[[File:Lilith Fair in Cuyahoga Falls, OH 2010-07-27.jpg|thumb|alt=A music stage|The 2010 stage at a date in Cuyahoga Falls]]
In an April 25, 2009, Twitter post, Nettwerk founder Terry McBride announced that a Lilith Fair tour through North America would be relaunched for the summer of  2010, with a two-week tour of Europe to follow.

The tour was plagued with financial problems from the beginning. The first seven shows were sparsely attended and the eighth show was the first to be cancelled. Initially, Sarah McLachlan claimed (in an interview posted on the ''[[Arizona Republic]]'' website on July 9) that the July 8 Phoenix show was cancelled in protest of [[Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act|Arizona Senate Bill 1070]], which she strongly opposes.<ref name="azc070910">{{cite news | url=http://www.azcentral.com/thingstodo/music/articles/2010/07/09/20100709sarah-mclachlan-lilith-fair-arizona-immigration-protest-cancel.html | title=Sarah McLachlan: Lilith Fair was a protest cancellation | author=Ed Masley | publisher=[[azcentral.com|The Arizona Republic]] | date=2010-07-09 | access-date=2010-07-10}}</ref>

The tour fell apart on the road as headliners [[Carly Simon]], [[Norah Jones]], [[Kelly Clarkson]], [[the Go-Go's]], and [[Queen Latifah]] dropped out, fearing that they would not be paid for their performances.<ref name="Artists">{{cite web|url=http://lilithfair.com/artists/index.html |title=Artists |publisher=Lilith Fair |year=1999 |access-date=2010-07-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090330035003/http://lilithfair.com/artists/index.html |archive-date=March 30, 2009 }}</ref>

Due to poor ticket sales, thirteen shows (about one-third of the tour) were scratched (two announced on June 25,<ref name="2010-06-25_news">{{cite web |last=Hudson |first=Alex |url=http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/generalarticlesynopsfullart.aspx?csid1=115&csid2=844&fid1=47614 |title=Lilith Fair Dates Cancelled Due to Poor Ticket Sales |publisher=Exclaim.ca |date=2010-06-25 |access-date=2014-05-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130115173624/http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/generalarticlesynopsfullart.aspx?csid1=115&csid2=844&fid1=47614 |archive-date=2013-01-15 }}</ref> ten more on July 1,<ref name="2010-07-01_news">{{Cite web |url=http://www.lilithfair.com/news/2010-lilith-tour-announcement |title=2010 Lilith Tour |access-date=2019-08-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100704062130/http://www.lilithfair.com/news/2010-lilith-tour-announcement |archive-date=2010-07-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref> one additional on July 2)<ref name="2010-07-02_news">{{Cite web |url=http://www.lilithfair.com/news/lilith-atlanta-alert |title=Lilith Atlanta Alert|access-date=2019-08-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100705151225/http://www.lilithfair.com/news/lilith-atlanta-alert |archive-date=2010-07-05 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and one reassigned to a smaller venue.
