This just in from Pitchforkmedia.com:
Pitchfork 2009 will take place Friday, July 17 through Sunday, July 19, 2009 in Union Park, Chicago, IL.
“Now for the lineup, here is the first round of announced acts for this year’s festival…
Friday: Write The Night: Set List by Request with Built to Spill, the Jesus Lizard, Yo La Tengo, & Tortoise
Saturday: The National, Pharoahe Monch, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart & more to come
Sunday: Grizzly Bear, The Walkmen, Vivian Girls, & more to come”
First one of these that we’ll be back east for. Hmm, I wonder if we can make this happen again this year. Pitchfork really is one of the better run festivals I’ve ever attended. Relatively inexpensive beer, water, and food. A little too much bleed from one stage to another, but that’s to be expected.
Buy tickets beginning Friday, March 13 at noon CDT.
