The enterprising kids at Pitchfork have decided that after curating 2005's Intonation Festival, and doing a SXSW showcase, that their next big move would be to create their own festival. Aptly naming it the Pitchfork Music Festival to avoid confusion over who owns the joint, they moved on to create a highly regarded festival.

The 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival has just announced its dates and initial line up! Check back for more details.
