Pitchfork: Pitchfork's Intonation Festival Lineup Announced

Pitchfork's Intonation Festival Lineup Announced

Only a few more weeks and it's gonna be school's out for summer-- and let us tell you, we know how to spend a hot and sunny afternoon: at the office! But come July 16th and 17th, we'll emerge from our sloppy workhole on Chicago's west side, and migrate to the city's Union Park, where we will watch in awe as the fruits of our last six months' labor spring to glorious technicolor life and are consumed by a ravenous crowd of music-starved lunatics.

It's on! The Intonation Music Festival, curated by your pals at Pitchfork Media, is ready to blow up Chi-town over two gorgeous summer days and nights with more than 20 of today's best and most innovative bands rocking two separate stages-- plus, a DJ tent presented by Biz3 Publicity, a record fair courtesy of WLUW, and a variety of food, clothing, and art vendors. Are we psyched? What are you, crazy? Look at this fucking lineup!

Now, some of you might remember back when this thing was still scheduled to throw down at Pulaski Park, but we've decided to move it to Union Park instead, to ensure that we've got enough room to accomodate everyone. The new space is vastly bigger, and has a pretty tight little view of the Chicago skyline, to boot.

The festival gates open at noon each day. Advance ticket sales will go on sale this Wednesday, May 18. The cost per ticket will be a mere $15 per day, and a limited number of $22 two-day passes will be available as well.
