It's Easy Being Green: Green Music Festival Announces Line-up

By Michele Lenni in Arts & Entertainment on May 17, 2011 4:30PM

Last Friday the organizers for the Green Music Festival announced their Subterranean and Big Creek Productions curated 2011 lineup and we instantly had some crazy déjà vu. The weekend of June 25 Wicker Park's streets will not only be line with family and eco-friendly vendors and activities, but musical acts like Yo La Tengo, The Life and Times, Les Savy Fav and The Thermals. Does this lineup sound vaguely familiar? Well, it really should since it is really close the the line-up of the 2009 Pitchfork Music Festival. Don't get us wrong, we aren't complaining. For a $5 donation Green's lineup is pretty freakin' great and we are really intrigued by the green and organic festival food options that will be presented.

Yo La Tengo 8:30 pm
The Life and Times 5:45 pm
