Anybody else going?

Cat Power
Clipse
Of Montreal
Iron and Wine
Girl Talk
Jamie Lidell
Grizzly Bear
Professor Murder
Ken Vandermark's Powerhouse Sound

And Friday is the first North American show in the All Tomorrow's Parties "Don't Look Back" series - where a band plays one of their albums in its entirety (for instance, in London, Sonic Youth is playing Daydream Nation). I wonder who we'll get in Chicago?

    That's the story. Sonic Youth is at the London ATP event though - it hasn't yet been announced who will play the Chicago ATP event, or what album they'll be doing.

    Still, it's only $15 for the Friday show (and only $45 for the 3-day pass) - I figured if they got Sonic Youth in London, $15 was a good gamble for whoever they booked here.

    Here's a link to ATP:

    From what I remember, last year's lineup was pretty awesome. Festivals really aren't my fave, but I could imagine enjoying this one more than Lolla. Not to mention, Flatstock will be there too!

    So, from what I've read (which was very brief) about the tickets for this festival is one either purchase a Friday-only pass ($15), or Sat-Sun pass ($35), or both ($50)?

    Pretty much. Single day passes are $15/Friday, $25/Saturday, and $25/Sunday. The three day pass is $45, and the two day Saturday/Sunday pass is $35. Here's a link:

    Kind of a weird pricing structure, but not a bad price overall, considering the lineup.
