Pitchfork

Holy great mother of music festivals, do we have a lineup for you. Barcelona, Spain's Primavera Sound just announced the first round of performers for its 2007 event-- going down May 31 and June 1 and 2 at Barcelona, Spain's Parc Del Fòrum-- and it's enough to make a scrawny young hipster want to start swimming across the Atlantic Ocean right now.

The bands here, chosen in conjunction with All Tomorrow's Parties (whose own Dirty Three- and fan-curated fests rock England in April and May), need no introduction: Slint, Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Low, Grizzly Bear, Dirty Three, the Durutti Column, Isis, Band of Horses, Brightblack Morning Light, Death Vessel, Oakley Hall, and Pelican. Well okay, maybe the last four are a little lesser known, but regular Pitchfork readers should be all over that stuff.

Best of all: post-rock titans Slint will play their magnum opus, Spiderland, in its entirety. Slint! Spiderland! Exclamation points!!

And that is, as they say, but the tip of the iceberg: Primavera Sound intends to announce loads more acts in the weeks leading up to the festival.

Special thanks to Pop Muzik's Xavi Guasch for the tip-off.
