So we've been telling you about great music for almost 10 years now, and it's about time we put on a show. That's right-- we, Pitchfork Media, are curating the Intonation Music Festival this summer in Chicago. The two-day festival will feature more than 20 of today's most innovative bands spread across two stages, as well as a DJ tent presented by Biz3 Publicity. More acts will be announced as the festival approaches. There will also be a record fair (presented by WLUW) and a variety of food, clothing, and art vendors.
We have moved the festival site to Union Park, a beautiful space with a great view of the Chicago skyline. Union Park has a much greater capacity than the previous location and will be able to accommodate all guests more comfortably. The festival gates open at noon each day.

Advance ticket sales will now be available online beginning Wednesday, May 18. The cost per ticket will be $15 each day. A limited number of $22 two-day passes will be available as well.

88.7 WLUW will be heading up the Intonation Music Fest’s record fair, with the best selection of Cd’s & posters in the Chicagoland area. The fair will feature aisles and aisles of everything a music aficionado could possibly want! We'll have vendors offering everything from rock, pop, psychedelia and folk, to soul, jazz, country, international, R&B, hip-hop, rock-a-billy and every genre in-between! If it's rare or weird, we'll have that too.
