Dates and venues have been confirmed for eight of the 2010 Lilith Tour shows in North America this summer.

The Live Nation produced touring festival will reach a total of 36 North American cities. Las Vegas, Cleveland and Kansas City have been confirmed as the final three additions to the 36-city run.

Tickets for initial shows will go on sale March 27 via LilithFair.com and LiveNation.com. The touring festival launches July 2 at the Amphitheatre at Clark County in Portland, and then calls at Seattle, Chicago, Indianapolis, Toronto, Cleveland, Atlanta and West Palm Beach, Florida. Full details are here.

There will be 11 artists on each date, with Sarah McLachlan the only artist playing every show. The remaining acts on the line-up are constantly rotating from among more than 80 acts, including the Bangles, Beth Orton, Brandi Carlile, Cat Power, Corinne Bailey Rae, The Go-Go's, Gossip, Heart, Indigo Girls, Jesca Hoop, Jill Hennessy, Jill Scott, Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha, La Roux, Lights, Lissie, Loretta Lynn, Lucy Schwartz, Marina & The Diamonds, Martina McBride and Mary J.

Nettwerk CEO and Lilith Fair co-founder Terry McBride announced last year that the all-female festival would make its return in 2010. But there is still no sign of any European dates.
