The final adds to this year's Pitchfork Music Festival have been announced. Saturday gets Final Fantasy -- the dude with the violin from Canada, not the game -- the polite bucolic folk of Bowerbirds, Cymbals Eat Guitars -- does anyone else think these dudes are a Pavement tribute band? -- and Chicago trio Michael Columbia, while Sunday will now include the Thermals (YES) and Killer Whales.

Three-day passes for the festival are sold out, but two- and one-day passes are still available here.
