Womyn and grrls rejoice! Lilith Fair, the music festival featuring female artists, is coming back in 2010! The touring festival, founded by Canadian crooner Sarah McLachlan and named after Adam’s first wife in medieval Jewish legend, originally ran from 1997 to 1999, with some of the proceeds going to women’s charities. It featured a who’s-who of established and up-and-coming female artists: Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, and Luscious Jackson among them. I never went to Lilith Fair, mainly because there weren’t enough artists on the lineup that I liked to justify the cost, but if McLachlan and her partners invite even a quarter of the female musicians featured in the playlist after the jump, I will totes be in for 2010. Jump to get your lady rocks off.

Solange isn’t on this list, but her Sol Angel album is 10 times better than her sister’s and Solange only gets a fraction of the attention given to Beyonce.
OK, so you could argue that Lil Kim hasn’t done much to empower women, but let’s throw her a bone too. She is after all having a comeback year.

I went to the Lilith Fair in Atlanta in 1997!! It was incredible and I would SO be there for the 2010 incarnation.
