You can start planning where to place your home base at Union Park next month based on the bands you want to see at The Pitchfork Music Festival. The schedule is out and for once we're not seeing too many super tough choices on there. In fact our biggest question is why are The Breeders playing Last Splash so early in the evening? We were really hoping Kim Deal was going to break out some kind of crazy laser light show or multimedia extravaganza. I guess we'll just have to focus on the tunes instead.

Here's the full schedule, start planning now! Three day tickets are sold out but single day passes are still available.
