LCD Soundsystem, A Tribe Called Quest and Solange will be headlining Pitchfork Music Festival this year, organizers announced today (via painting). LCD will be taking a victory lap, Tribe will be making a much-welcomed return to the live festival stage, and Solange can be counted on to twist minds based on A Seat at the Table, her labyrinthine and deeply satisfying 2016 release.
