The legendary Carly Simon and iconic Queen Latifah are the latest additions to the Lilith 2010 line-up.

Additionally, the line-ups for the remaining 10 cities set to go on-sale over the next two weeks are now posted on LilithFair.com. A full list of tour dates is below.
Lilith co-founders Terry McBride and Marty Diamond comment on the latest artist additions. Says McBride, “Carly Simon embodies the entire spirit of Lilith. She is a generational icon who continues to have a tremendous influence on so many women, whether musicians or fans. I can guess that many of the Lilith 2010 artists were impacted by her voice and words at some point. It’s truly an honor that she has come on board.” Adds Diamond, “Queen Latifah’s spirited performances on the original Lilith Fair are still some of the most memorable. She has had a remarkable career over the past 11 years, from music, to acting to now film production. She is a role model and inspiration to many, and we are thrilled that she is taking the time from her hectic schedule to rejoin the tour. ”
Tickets are currently on-sale for 26 of the 36 markets. Boston and Hartford are the next to go on-sale this Saturday, May 8, with pre-orders happening now via LilithFair.com and LiveNation.com.
