Pitchfork, the most loved/hated website in all of hipsterdom, has finally unveiled -- sort of, since I actually found this info on brooklynvegan -- some details about its summer festival. Taking place July 13, 14, and 15 in Chicago's Union Park, the second-annual event will feature Cat Power, Clipse, Iron & Wine, Grizzly Bear, and Professional Murder (Saturday) and Of Montreal, Girl Talk, Jamie Lidell, and Ken Vandermakr's Powerhouse Sound (Sunday). More acts will be added, as the final number will be somewhere around 40. Last year's festival included staple indie bands like Spoon, Yo La Tengo, Tapes n Tapes, Art Brut, Destroyer, Ted Leo + the Pharmacists, Silver Jews, The Futureheads, Band of Horses, and Devendra Banhart.
Tickets go on sale Monday. Three-day passes start at $45; two-day passes are $35.
As I'll hopefully have a summer internship that only requires three-day work weeks, this is something I'll be looking into, if only to see Cat Power not self-destruct on stage and catch another glimpse of the Of Montreal guy in a bridal gown. If you live in the area or will be doing the summer session at ND, you should really consider hitting this up.
