Pitchfork Expands Fest Line-up
Pitchfork announced another batch of acts appearing at its festival in Union Park this summer from July 18 – 20. The biggest hoopla surrounds the news that Mission Of Burma will be performing it’s legendary Vs. album in it’s entirety on Friday’s bill. Other big names include Dinosaur Jr, Jarvis Cocker, and the team-up of Ghostface & Raekwon.

Other support includes groups as varied in style as the shiny popsters Apples In Stereo, to the brutal Jay Reatard. It was also announced today that the fest is teaming up with Seattle’s KEXP, broadcasting in-the-studio performances before the fest, and broadcasting some of the acts live from union Park during the fest.

A full list of performers announced so far after the jump, and we have to say that this line-up is shaping up very nicely. Getcher tickets now.

I might have to venture out to Illinois this summer… but the bands announced thus far suck, minus Boris and Dino.

If Dino close the whole thing Sunday night it’ll be very cool but I’ll be curious of the reception from the hipster doofus crowd.

And Sebadoh is doing Bubble & Scrape for the ATP thing on Friday.
