First Pitchfork Music Fest lineup announced
Wowee zowee, Chicago gets a Pavement show.
True to its word, Pitchfork has unveiled the first batch of bands for its big-deal festival, and they’re particularly enticing: Pavement, Modest Mouse, St. Vincent, LCD Soundsystem, and Raekwon are just some of the first names rounding out the weekend-long bill.
