VANCOUVER (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) -- Six months after Nettwerk Music's Terry McBride revealed that the touring all-female festival, The Lilith Fair would make its return after a 10 year hiatus, the preliminary list of host cities has been announced on the fest's newly-revamped website.

"I can’t reveal anything further now," says McBride in a statement, "but 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."
