Lilith Fair

Lilith Fair was a tour that featured female musicians that ran from 1997 to 1999.

Sarah McLachlan founded the tour and coined its name. She took Lilith from the legend that Lilith was Adam's first wife and fair as a way to cultivate an image of beauty and equality. McLachlan modeled the tour after Lollapalooza, a summer tour done entirely by men [1].

At each Lilith Fair venue, one dollar for each ticket sold was given to a women’s charity in that community. However, Lilith Fair was criticized by some people for glorifying a pagan figure [1].

Some artists that performed at the 1999 Lilith Fair were:

• Sheryl Crow
• Dixie Chicks
• Indigo Girls
• Queen Latifah
• Lisa Loeb
• Sarah McLachlan
• Christina Aguilera
• Dido
• Nelly Furtado
• Shawn Colvin
• Suzanne Vega
• Tracy Chapman
