Pavement, Modest Mouse to headline Pitchfork fest

Pitchfork Music Festival, the three-day music event in Chicago organized by the indie-centric web site of the same name, has announced Pavement, Modest Mouse and LCD Soundsystem as headliners of the 2010 edition. Tickets for the fifth annual event, which takes place in Chicago’s Union Park on July 16-18, are on sale now at pitchforkmusicfestival.com. Other bands announced Friday include Raekwon, Here We Go Magic, St. Vincent, Lightning Bolt, Cass McCombs and Sleigh Bells.

Pavement is returning to the concert circuit this year and will play the Coachella and Sasquatch festivals prior to its Pitchfork appearance, as well as a multi-night run in New York’s Central Park later in the summer. Pavement is also playing the ATP Festival in the U.K. and is booked for the Primavera Sound Festival in Spain, both in May.
