I'm pretty sure Pitchfork is doing one again too, but I had way more fun in Grant Park than Union Park last year. No offense James.
yeah, yeah.
i've heard that there's a permit going through the parks department for intonation (curated by someone else) to be in june and then pitchfork's own festival in late july at union park again.
with the slew of bands (100+ for lollapalooza) planned for these events, will any actually be worthwhile? how many bands can route their tours through chicago at the same? how many bands that these festivals want are even touring during the summer? i have a lot of questions about it and am not sold on any of these outdoor festivals being any good because of the dilution of lineups. that is inevitable.
Actually, they may not be as indiesque as they were at Pitchfork fest(hell I didn't even know of over half those bands) but I think many artists saw how successful Lollapalooza was last year so that'll bring them out for this year.
Announcements are to start being made in about a month they said in the Billboard article. And then they'll keep on going for a couple months with announcements before tickets go on sale.
I'm remaining positive on this.
