Pitchfork Music Festival 2011 schedule released

Pitchfork is a music website with a summer music festival and now that festival has a schedule. So no, you have no excuses for missing Battles this year—it is clear that the band performs at 4:35pm on Friday. Write it down on your shoe. There, DONE. Tell your boss to stick it and get your arse over to Union Park to overdose on all sounds indie rock. The big difference this year? The stages are color-coded for your enjoyment, no more Balance stage to get confused by.

The other interesting phenom—bands like Health and Cut Copy that once graced the lesser stage have moved up to the bigger stages. I guess that's progress.

You can, it seems, play Pitchfork two years in a row as Kurt Vile will this year.

Also gotta love Twin Sister, Twin Shadow and DJ Shadow on the same bill.
