The summer music season is now in full swing and local outdoor concerts abound in the summer heat. From Ravinia to Glenview's 'Bearfoot in the Park' to the myriad outdoor street festivals hosted by various neighborhoods in Chicago, your out-of-doors music opportunities come fast and furious this time of year. While many music fans hold out for the super-sized Lollapalooza, next weekend Chicago's Union Park (Ashland and Lake) hosts the increasingly popular Pitchfork Music Festival. Self-described as "a three-day event showcasing over 40 of independent music’s best bands and artists on three stages" this year's festival is anchored by a reunited Pavement and tickets for Saturday and Sunday (July 18th, 19th) are already sold out. The word is a batch of extra tickets will be released on Thursday at the box office, but whether you have a ticket in hand or NOT, what's more important is (once again) your library card is a passport to catching up with many (if not most) of these exciting new/young/reunited/aging hipster artists right HERE at your library. Come check out new (and old) releases by Tallest Man on Earth, Liars, Broken Social Scene, Delorean, Bear in Heaven, Local Natives, Dam-Funk, Titus Andronicus, Beach House, and yes, Pavement. See you at the shows!
