Last week Pitchfork announced they're taking their little show on the road and putting together a festival in Paris October 28 - 29 at La Grande Halle de la Villette, a pavilion in Parc de la Villette. Pitchfork writes:

Pitchfork Music Festival Paris will mark our first full-fledged festival outside the U.S., complementing our annual presence at Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival and our previous UK collaboration with All Tomorrow's Parties. We've teamed with French agency SUPER! to transport our ideas and values to this new indoor setting and to help us bring our own unique festival experience to one of the world's great cities.

Bon Iver will co-curate the festival. A few performances have been confirmed, including Jens Lekman, Wild Beasts, Cut Copy, Kathleen Edwards and Pantha du Prince.
