TORONTO -- Lilith Fair, the women's music festival that ran for three years during the 1990s, will relaunch with an 18-city tour in 2010, organizers said Wednesday.

The tour reportedly will include Washington. The festival's other planned stops are Atlanta, Boston, Calgary, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver and London.

Neither the dates for the shows nor the lineup has yet been announced.

"I can't reveal anything further now," said a statement from Lilith co-founder Terry McBride, chief executive of the Canada-based Nettwerk Music Group. "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."

McBride first announced Lilith resurrection plans in April. McBride's longtime client Sarah McLachlan co-founded the '90s event.
