Pitchfork Fest Announces Schedule, Music Lunch Series Continues This Week
With the Pitchfork Music Fest a little under three weeks away, the fest has released its official schedule. And, frankly, we're pretty psyched for Saturday's Hold Steady-Animal Collective pairing and Sunday's Spiritualized-Spoon pairing. Nice work, kids.
In addition to the fest, Pitchfork is also presenting the free lunchtime music series on Mondays, "Audible Architecture: Chicago Nightclubs at Noon" at Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion which began two weeks ago and continues through the end of August. Today's performance features Killer Whales. Every show starts at 12:15, so get out and enjoy the awesome summer weather with some awesome music. We're personally excited about working off the post-Lolla hangover with Tortoise.
The rest of this summer's schedule follows after the jump.
