Pitchfork

With the Pitchfork Music Festival less than three months away, it's about time we started revealing some more of those TBAs, right? Get ready, because we've got eight hot additions for ya, running the gamut from party rap to experimental jazz, Kanye West's DJ to members of Wilco.

On July 29 and 30, in Chicago's Union Park, head to the Biz3 stage for Canadian turntablist extraordinaire and Kanye friend A-Trak, techno specialist Matthew Dear, booty masters Spank Rock, Thrill Jockey jazz veterans Chicago Underground Duo, Brazilian party-starters (and recent Sub Pop signees) CSS, and genre-smashing DJ duo Flosstradamus. We'll also serve up a double dose of Wilco, with performances by percussionist Glenn Kotche as well as guitarist Nels Cline, collaborating with Tortoise's Jeff Parker in the Jeff Parker/Nels Cline Quartet.
