Pitchfork Music Festival
Jul 18–20; Fri 5–10pm; Sat, Sun noon–10pm | Union Park
The indie tastemaker website curates the hipster love-in of pop fests. Following this year’s trend, expect loads of Afropop, from the authentic (Extra Golden, Occidental Brothers Dance Band) to Vampire Weekend. A super-rare performance by brilliant ex-Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker demands fawning. Public Enemy will at least be a spectacle—somewhere between circus act and political rally.
Actual cost Three-day pass $65 (sold out), two-day pass $50, individual day $30
What it’s worth a semester at the Art Institute
Wicker Park Music Festival
Jul 26, 27, 11am–10pm | Damen Avenue between North Avenue and Schiller Street
Another dirt-cheap contender with a surprisingly strong lineup. A reunited Polvo, perky indie-pop Ra Ra Riot, avant-metal storm Isis, shoegazing Film School, Maps & Atlases, and more round out the acts.
Actual cost $5 donation

Broken Social Scene is nothing like Cumbawumba. And Feist is nothing like Sheryl Crow. That's a terrible anology. What's it like being a shitty writer for a living. You guys suck.

OK, I made it to page 12. I had all I can stands, I can stands no more. Whoever had the idea of breaking articles up into 20 pages should be force to lick those gross CTA fabric bus seats and then get fired!!!!
