PITCHFORK MEDIA INTONATION MUSIC FESTIVAL JULY 16 & 17 IN CHICAGO. The Intonation Music Festival will be the Midwest's landmark independent music event this summer. Curated by the online music magazine Pitchfork Media, the two-day festival will showcase a multi-genre line-up featuring many of the most innovative acts in music today, with 2 stages as well as a DJ Tent created by Biz 3 Publicity pairing unlikely musicians spinning together. There will
be a WLUW Record Fair and a unique variety of food, clothing, and art vendors.
Confirmed line up below- more acts still to be announced.
Due to a tremendous response to the festival announcement from music lovers coast to coast, the festival site has been moved to Union Park in Chicago, one of the city's wide-open green spaces. With far greater capacity than our previous site we will be able to accommodate a
higher expected festival attendance and create a spacious and comfortable festival environment for all. Admission price is $15 per day or $22 for a limited number of two day passes which will be available on-line only.

Booyah! I may have to shell out the couple of hundred to fly up there for that . Chicago is their hometown, and with Four Tet there it could be a wonderful festival. Sigh, if only Isotope 217 would get together for another album. I am quite impressed with your listings. Not many people had Cream on their radar.

I would love to make it a 10 day weekend. Not going to have a contest are you...lol! But, the first weekend would be the place to take my shell. Hopefully, lollapalooza will be down this way too. I haven't checked the link. Thanks again!
