Yeasayer rocked Lollapalooza last year. This year they'll be rocking Pitchfork.
Slowly, but surely the Pitchfork lineup is growing into another can't miss event. As if the Flaming Lips' closing set wasn't enough, today's addition of Yeasayer and Blitzen Trapper has officially sold me on the fest, to be held July 17-19 in Chicago's Union Park. The other newly announced bands are Plants and Animals, Disappears, Mew, Japandroids and Women.
Compared to Lollapalooza's $200 pricetag, Pitchfork is a bargain. It's $35 for single day passes, $60 for Saturday and Sunday and $75 for all three days. Get your tickets here.
Here's the lineup as it stands today.
