The brainchild of singer Sarah McLachlan, Lilith Fair was once a highly successful concert festival that ran in the late 90’s. It consisted of all women singers, and used to generate quite a lot of money. She tried to bring it back last year but was met with poor ticket sales and ultimately had to cancel it with hopes she could revive it in 2011. Sadly, she announced today she will no longer be running with that idea. Hit the jump to hear what she had to say.
“Bringing the same thing back last year really didn’t make any sense, in retrospect, without due diligence being done on how women have changed,” she said.
The 43-year-old added: “In 12 years, women have changed a lot. Their expectations have changed, the way they view the world has changed, and that was not taken into consideration, which I blame myself for.”
McLachlan said that she hopes to update the Lilith Fair concept sometime in the future by “carrying forth the ideas from Lilith and maybe doing something new and different”.
