2008_03_pfork.jpgThe Pitchfork Music Festival returns to Union Park this summer from July 18 through July 20. Tickets for the fest go on sale this Wednesday though, with $30 single-day passes, $50 two-day passes, and $65 three-day passes.

They'll be reprising the idea of classic acts performing their "classic" albums in their entirety and the first named to do so is Public Enemy who will be recreating It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. Holy fucking awesomeness, huh?

Other announced performers so far include: Animal Collective, Spiritualized (zomg!), M. Ward, Boris, Vampire Weekend, Dizzee Rascal, No Age, Atlas Sound, Fleet Foxes, Extra Golden, and El Guincho.
