Intonation Two-Day Passes on Sale Until Saturday

Yes, the Intonation Music Festival is comin' up around the bend and the door is closing fast on your chance to scoop up those $22 two-day passes-- which will only be on sale until Saturday, July 9 at 11:59 p.m. Sincerely, this is the kind of magic you just don't fuck around with: If you want in, you best snatch those suckers now.

Beating this into your skulls for the umpteenth time: the Decemberists, Tortoise, Prefuse 73, Les Savy Fav, Death From Above 1979, the Wrens, the Go! Team, Deerhoof, Broken Social Scene, Four Tet, Magnolia Electric Co., A.C. Newman, Andrew Bird, the Hold Steady, Out Hud, Xiu Xiu, Dungen, Thunderbirds Are Now!, the M's, Pelican, and Head of Femur.

Now, we don't like to go around all snobby and pretend we're better than other people (sike!), but if we do say so ourselves, that is one fine motherfucking lineup. And did we mention that lovable Biz3 Publicity is hooking you up with a just-ridiculous string of incredible DJ sets by Pelican, Dungen, El-P, Diplo, Jean Grae, and Will Oldham throughout the day?

But wait-- there's more! Act now and we'll throw in a DJ set by James McNew of Yo La Tengo fame, who will spin alongside El-P.

As stated previously, it's all happenin' at Chicago's Union Park over two gorgeous summer days-- Saturday, July 16 and Sunday, July 17. Plus, the shit ain't only bands: In addition to the DJ sets, there'll also be a massive record fair courtesy of WLUW, a variety of food, clothing, and art vendors, secure bike parking on-site, and a bunch of schoolkids impressing everyone by creating their own album covers. Children under 10 will be admitted for free, but only if they promise to stop whining and put that back.

The box office opens at 10:30 a.m. each day, so roll up early, pick up your tix, avoid the lines, and snag a good spot on the grass.

Oh yeah, and we've got the schedule. Synchronize your watches and begin your stage-to-stage training regimen, 'cause when the weekend of the festival comes, you'll want to relax and enjoy the music. Go:
