The lineup for the 2017 Pitchfork Music Festival was announced on Friday. Headliners LCD Soundsystem, Solange and A Tribe Called Quest will be joined by a long list of solid acts—including Angel Olsen, Dirty Projectors, George Clinton, and the Feelies. Basically, more than enough reasons to justify dealing with the huge crowds and the inevitable sunburn.

Tickets are currently on sale here, going for $75 per day or $175 for a three-day pass. And, since music festivals are apparently becoming as irrationally stratified as airline classes, you can pay $365 for "Pitchfork +Plus" tickets, which offers exclusive amenities like "shaded seating areas" and "come and go" access to the festival. Ah, to live a life of luxury, and be able to afford expensive shade.
