Pitchfork Music Festival, summer concerts go to hipster indie-rock fans, is expanding to Paris in October. And who better to headline the festival of the band Bon Iver, the love of folk indie world that bears a name inspired by French?
Pitchfork is much larger than its summer festival, with its ever-expanding music criticism and commentary Web site of the same name, its increasing role in making or breaking artists like Arcade Fire indie-rock, and collaborations with festivals growing abroad, including the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona and the UK All Party tomorrow.
But this year, Pitchfork is going international on their own, and Bon Iver has chosen to lead two days of Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris, which promises 5. 000 fans attended by about 20 bands, a host of DJs, and various acts hand-picked by Bon Iver Justin Vernon leader.
Bands already confirmed are Jens Lekman, wild beasts, Cut Copy, Kathleen Edwards, and Pantha du Prince. In the true style of Pitchfork, the entire line will be released after a little ahead ratchets.
The festival is scheduled for October 28-29 in La Grande Halle de la Villette, in Paris's cultural heart of Parc de la Villette.
While you're breathlessly counting down the days until October to see the music video for new song by Bon Iver, Calgary, which Pitchfork calls "visual companion to the equally opaque song ... almost everything is for wild interpretation.
