Pitchfork Music Festival: Sunday Tickets Sold Out!
Well folks, we're almost there. Just over 48 hours from now, Mission of Burma will launch into "Secrets" at Chicago's Union Park and-- bang!-- the 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival will have begun.
Today's big news is that all remaining tickets for Sunday, July 20 are now sold out. With Saturday passes already gone, this means only tickets for Friday, July 18 remain. They're still just $30 apiece, and you can grab them while they last over at Ticketweb. Just 30 bucks for Mission of Burma, Sebadoh, and Public Enemy, each storming through a classic album! That, my friends, is none too shabby.
Fans of Fleet Foxes, Extra Golden, A Hawk and a Hacksaw, and Boban Markovic who missed out on weekend fest tickets, take heart. All four of these fine artists are still set to rock the free Pitchfork Music Festival Preview Night, hitting the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Chicago's Millennium Park tomorrow evening, July 17.
And those looking for more insight on Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back straight from the source need look no further than tomorrow afternoon's panel discussion at the Chicago Cultural Center's Claudia Cassidy Theatre. Now with 100% more Chuck D!
Finally, a reminder to those not braving the outdoors this weekend: Video of a bunch of Pitchfork Music Festival sets will be webcast live on the festival's website, and Seattle's venerable KEXP will be broadcasting audio live from Union Park as well. And don't forget those updated set times!
To cop a sing-along refrain from fest performers !!!, can you feel it intensify??
