Chicago's (now) annual Intonation Music Festival in Union Park has announced the majority of its lineup of bands for this year's two-day festival June 24 and 25. Besides the two headliners, the Streets and Bloc Party as previously reported, some of the other artists performing will be the Boredoms, UK's Lady Sovereign, High On Fire, the 90 Day Men, Dead Prez, Norwegian pop singer Annie, the Constantines and Panthers, just to name a few. This year, the festival will also feature the Art Rock Poster Gallery, curated by Steve W. of Screwball Press, a exhibition of the work of some of the top screenprinters in the country for viewing and purchase.

Pitchfork Media's festival, a month later and in the same park, has also announced most of its lineup. The Silver Jews and Spoon will headline the two nights respectively, and a host of other bands, including Aesop Rock, Mission Of Burma, Art Brut, Band Of Horses, the Mountain Goats, and Ted Leo/Pharmacists, are confirmed to play. The Pitchfork Festival will also include a record and artist fair.

Both festivals are still confirming their lineups and plan to announce more bands soon.
