Summer Fest Lines Up

The line-up for this year's Wicker Park Festival has finally been announced. Building off of last summer's line-up of charismatic local rockers and touring acts, the festival has announced that Don Caballero, Maritime, and Man Man will be amongst the bands joining the slew of local stand-outs such as The Race, Pit Er Pat, Sybris, and Russian Circles. There is also a rumor that The Thermals, who incidentally play the night before the fest at Subterranean, will make an appearnce on one of the stages set along Damen Ave.

The festival takes place on July 28th-29th. For more info and updates, check out www.wickerparkbucktown.com or the festival's myspace page at www.myspace.com/wickerparkfest.
