Pitchfork and Lollapalooza, here we come! 'Tis the season for buying summer festival tickets!
Last summer we had the joy of going to Pitchfork Music festival in Union Park, Chicago. It was our first festival, so we weren't sure what to expect. BUT, it was AWESOME! It only had about 15,000 in attendance, so it was smaller than a lot of others. We'll be going again this summer (already have tickets). Last year we got to see the likes of Spoon, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, the National, Glen Kotche, among others. This year, we'll get to see Of Montreal, Iron and Wine, Steve Malkmus, and...this is quite amazing.... Sonic Youth!

....not that anyone cares ;o)
SO....we decided this weekend that, even though it's incredibly expensive AND there will be quite possibly a hundred thousand (or more) people in attendance, we HAVE TO GO TO LOLLAPALOOZA! We're both a bit nervous...since we've only been "festivalized" by a small little indie show. But with such an awesome line-up literally in our back yard (it's across the street from my school downtown), we can't simply pass it up.
Here's the insane lineup - and these are only the shows that we intend to see...there are at least 60 or 80 total bands playing...OHMYGOSH!
Pearl Jam, Muse, Modest Mouse, Interpol, My Morning Jacket, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Snow Patrol, Kings of Leon, Black Keys, Regina Spektor, Spoon, TV on the Radio, Pete Yorn, Amy Winehouse, LCD Soundsystem, Clap your hands say yeah, Silverchair, The Hold Steady, M.I.A., Son Volt, Polyphonic Spree, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Silversun Pickups, Tapes 'N Tapes, Cold War Kids.
AND - they are adding stuff all of the time...like they just added one of my fave bands - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists!!!!!!!!
So...it averages out to be about 8 dollars per person, per band...can't beat that!
