Back in April, we reported that Lilith Fair organizer Terry McBride had turned to Twitter to announce that the festival would be resurrected in 2010. At the time, the big news was that Lilith Fair, which has already been on hiatus for a full decade, would be hitting up Europe for two weeks. And although McBride had promised to reveal more about the festival in September, he’s just now coming out with some news.

Although the latest statement from Nettwerk Music Group, where McBride serves as the current CEO, doesn’t mention a European jaunt, it does confirm that Lilith Fair is totally on. Organizers are planning to hit 18 cities next year, including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto. No dates are set yet, and we don’t know who will be headlining, either. But McBride did mention that the festival was hoping to bring back acts who played at original Lilith Fairs in 1997-1999. Billboardpoints out that some of those performers include Sheryl Crow, Christina Aguilera, Erykah Badu, Dixie Chicks, Missy Elliot, The Pretenders, Nelly Furtado, Jewel, Queen Latifah, Indigo Girls, Tegan & Sara and Sarah McLachlan. (And it seems relevant to point out that, while many of these acts aren’t doing too much these days, Badu, Tegan & Sara, and Aguilera either have new albums out or are in the process of recording.)

McBride is mum for now, but he does have this to say: “I can assure fans that we have some exciting announcements over the course of the following weeks, from confirmed artists to additional cities to innovative social initiatives. Lilith 2010 is very much upon us.” Ladies, I think we all know what this means: It’s time to start growing out the old armpit hair again…
