The initial lineup for this year's Pitchfork Music Festival, held July 16th - 18th, was announced today. Unfortunately, ticket prices have been slightly raised again, $40 (single-day) and $90 (three-day), with NO two-day's. Tickets can be purchased, here. So far, Modest Mouse is the only band catching my eye and I'm curious as to what Friday's theme will be.
Friday, July 16th
- Modest Mouse
Saturday, July 17th
- LCD Soundsystem
- Raekwon
Sunday, July 18th
- Pavement
- St. Vincent
- Lightning Bolt
- Cass McCombs
- Sleigh Bells
- Here We Go Magic
Any other predictions? I'm going to go ahead and guess Beach House, Surfer Blood, Atlas Sound, Neon Indian, Girls, The XX, and Bear In Heaven.
