I just checked concerts in my area and only saw one artist that really, intrigued me, and that was Janelle Marie. What happened to the multiethnic lineup ? Nnenna is cool and all, but i was hoping we would get Mary J, Erykah, Queen La, and some others here in the DC/Philly area. I mean, i love Sarah and all, but sometimes you want various sounds during a festival. Shoot..i woulda been more than happy with Heart coming here. Maybe next year the lineups will be more diverse throughout the country. I planned on going to a show in either Philly or DC.

I can't believe they canceled all 3 texas dates, too. I would be more likely to throw down money and even travel for lilith if it had more performers. Why not an all female or mostly female festival on the scale of acl or bonnaroo? They took forever to announce the line up for Austin and didn’t even really have a venue lined up.

We saw Colbie Collait, Sheryl Crow, Sugarland, Erykah Badu and Sarah McLachlan. It was a TON of fun, and I would highly recommend that people suck it up and go! That said, I did get free tickets, so that may have added to my enjoyment of the concert.

Talk about a slap in the face.I had been really excited about the tour up until that point, then I realized this was NOT the same show it had been... then it kept going down hill. What an ill planned, ill prepared mess!

Blige, Meagan Smith, Courtyard Hounds, Kate Nash, Vita Chambers, Vedera, Katie Todd, Sarah McLachlan, La Roux, Heart) didn't seem worth the ticket price & drive to/from Tinley Park, although I do like several of the artists, but then I signed up to volunteer with Reverb to work at either a recycling or a photo booth, so I'll get to see a good chunk of the show for free.

That being said, the venue was packed. Hell, I still have my t-shirts!I can only imagine the crappy economy adding to the lack of sales.Honestly, both myself and my partner were not too thrilled about going to an outdoor venue in the middle of summer (we're not in our 20s anymore and sitting on a hill in 100 plus heat is a no go) this go around.

So that's two nominations. Finally.Re: Lilith Fair. Jessica Herman over at Slate had an interesting article about whether we need a Lilith Fair anymore - http://www.slate.com/id/2258360. (For those who don't want to read the article, her answer is No, but I'm still going.). And FYI to Lilith Fair organizers - no matter how many ways you cut it, Irvine is NOT Los Angeles. Irvine is in Orange County, Los Angeles is in Los Angeles County. So, not only does the line-up for the "LA" stop look meh, the venue is in a totally different county. Great.
