Girls Gone Festive

Turns out the Spice Girls don't have a monopoly on girl-powered concerts this fall.

Sheryl Crow, Avril Lavigne and Fiona Apple have teamed up for a new femme-fueled musical event dubbed the GirlFrenzy Festival, promoters announced Monday.

The latter-day Lilith Fair is slated to take place Oct. 27 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, California, and will feature an all-day slate of both chart-topping and up-and-coming female artists.

In addition to Crow, Lavigne and Apple, Starbucks darlings Antigone Rising, iTunes sensation Sara Bareilles and MySpace hit Colbie Caillat are due to perform.

Tickets for the event go on sale Saturday, with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the fight against breast cancer and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

GirlFrenzy will mark Lavigne's first North American show of the fall, following three October dates in Mexico. Crow has only two other dates on her fall schedule—Oct. 19 and 20 in Atlantic City—and Apple is not slated to tour in the coming months.

Crow has been busy playing mom to Wyatt Steven, the baby boy she adopted in May, while Lavigne has had her hands full defending herself against allegations of plagiarism. Meanwhile, after making a comeback with 2005's Grammy-nominated Extraordinary Machine, Apple is reportedly hard at work on a followup album.
