The 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival, taking place Friday,
July 13 – Sunday, July 15 at Chicago’s Union Park, has
added a slew of bands to its already superb lineup. This is quickly shaping up
to be the best year yet! This year sees the return of previous performers Sleigh
Bells and Dirty Projectors, two acts who played the
festival at much earlier points in their career, and welcomes Flying
Lotus, Danny Brown, Clams Casino, The Olivia Tremor Control, Iceage, The Men,
Purity Ring, Schoolboy Q, and The Atlas Moth. These
acts join a stellar lineup that already includes Vampire Weekend,
Feist, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Hot Chip, A$AP Rocky, The Field, Liturgy,
Willis Earl Beal, and more. There are still over 20 more acts to be
announced in the coming weeks.
The Pitchfork Music Festival is well known for introducing
emerging bands while honoring already beloved and internationally renowned
acts. That high standard of curating continues in 2012. Seven years in, the
independently run event has consistently proven to be one of the most
welcoming, comfortable, reasonably priced and rewarding weekends of music
around. In addition to its musical offerings, the fest also features a wide
array of other activities, including 50 individual vendors, plus specialty
fairs, for attendees to enjoy.
Please note, the Pitchfork Music Festival has sold
out of three-day passes. However, single-day passes are still available,
but going fast . . . and we haven’t even announced over half of the lineup! As
previously announced, this year’s festival has not raised ticket prices.
Single-day tickets are available for $45 on the festival website,http://www.pitchforkmusicfestival.com.
