Pitchfork Music Festival Announces Initial Line-up, Dates

2012_02_p4k_music_fest.jpg Pitchfork Music Festival will transform Union Park into the latest installment of their indie rock weekend paradise on July 13-15 this year. The initial line-up includes, to no one's surprise, site favorites like Vampire Weekend and Feist. Personally we're more excited that the expansive sounds of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and the sludgy crush of Liturgy is included in this initial announcement. And recent local discover Willis Earl Beal's in here too, leading us to hope that this year's fest is willing to uncover new delights instead of depending on relative heavy hitters.

Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday March 9, with single day passes at $45 a pop and three-day passes at $110.
