pitchforkOn the heels of Wednesday’s Lollapalooza schedule release, Pitchfork Festival 2009 have done the same today.

Pitchfork offers three stages: Aluminum (A), Bounce (B) and Connector (C), which keeps the conflicts and band over lapping at a minimum.

Set for July 17-19 at Chicago’s Union Park, this year’s event is highlight by the “Write The Night” series. On Friday July 17, Tortoise, Yo La Tengo, The Jesus Lizard, and Built To Spill will perform sets selected by fest ticket buyers. The Flaming Lips, who perform Sunday July 19 at 8:40 p.m. on the Aluminum Stage, will also take part.

Saturday July 18′s highlights include garage rock revivalists The Black Lips on the Bounce Stage at 8:30 p.m. and indie-favorites The National on the Aluminum Stage at 8:40 p.m.
