Pitchfork Music Festival Releases Schedule, Time To Plan Your Attack!

2012_02_p4k_music_fest.jpg The schedule has been released for this summer's Pitchfork Music Festival so now you can start to pick and choose just what spot is best to lay down your blanket that day. Unlike another certain large Chicago music festival, you don't have to run miles between stages, so a plan of attack is not that important as far as getting around. However if you want to get close to your favorite bands, especially on the smaller third stage tucked away amongst the trees in Union Park, you will have to think ahead. After a quick look at the schedule we only have one question ... why would yu make Olivia Tremor Control play so early in the day on Friday? Other than that it all looks good to us. Check out the full schedule below and tell us what you thing, and who you're seeing.
