NEW YORK, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2010 Lilith Tour officially announces dates, venues and artists for eight of the 36 North American cities the Live Nation produced summer festival will hit this summer. At the same time, Las Vegas, Cleveland and Kansas City* can now be revealed as the final three additions to the 36-city run. Tickets for initial shows will go on-sale to the general public beginning Saturday, March 27 via LilithFair.com and LiveNation.com.
