Pitchfork, which has all but officially taken over the music world, has announced the dates for their annual music festival. They’re holding back the headliners, but here’s what we know for sure:

Pitchfork Music Fest is Chicago July 17-19. It’s taking place at Chicago’s Union Park, and the tickets go on sale on Friday, March 13. Are you already making arrangements to go? Or are you going to wait until the bands are announced? And if you went last year, was it a great festival?
