Blitzen Trapper, Yeasayer, Women Among Latest Pitchfork Festival Adds

Yeasayer, Plants and Animals, and Disappears have been added to Saturday, while Sunday gets Blitzen Trapper, Mew, Japandroids, and Women. Pitchfork Music Festival version 4 was already go for launch with previously announced highlights like The National, Grizzly Bear, and Wavves, but we think the weekend just got even better with these latest additions. When Blitzen Trapper blew through town this past February for two shows at Empty Bottle, their kind of wacko mix of nervy electronic bits covered in the dirt off Neil Young's work boots was a definite hit. Should work well in the hot sun of another Pitchfork. We're already laying out a blanket under the trees along Ashland; text us when you get there.
