The past two summers I’ve attended the Pitchfork Music Festival, and each year it’s gotten a little bigger, but still maintained its small feel. This year promises to be another to remember with three great days of live music at Union Park in Chicago.

Tickets: On sale this Wednesday, March 12 at noon CDT. There will be a limited number of 2-day and 3-day passes for sale, which are not expected to last long. This year’s prices will be:

$65 for a 3-day pass / $50 for a Saturday/Sunday 2-day pass / $30 per for single day

Here is a sneak peak at some of the artists performing this year:
