For less than half the cost of this year's Lollapalooza, Windy City music fans can see two rival music festivals with loaded lineups just one month apart.

The Intonation Music Festival and the Pitchfork Music Festival were one festival last year, with online indie music mag Pitchfork curating Intonation. But Pitchfork is going solo this year, taking along Intonation cofounder Mike Reed, while Intonation is being curated by Vice Records.

The result, however, is two festivals full of buzz-worthy bands that reflect the styles of their respective curators.

While Pitchfork boasts the likes of indie favorites Spoon, Silver Jews, Yo La Tengo, Devendra Banhardt, Futureheads, Ted Leo, and Art Brut, Intonation reflects the hip-hop bent of Vice, with headliners like The Streets, Dead Prez, Lady Sovereign, Kanye West protégé Lupe Fiasco, and the critically acclaimed Jon Brion, who coproduced West's Late Registration, as well as post-punkers Bloc Party.

The Intonation fest is being held June 24 and 25 at Union Park in Chicago, Pitchfork's fest will be held one month later in the same place on July 29 and 30.

The festivals can't compete with the star power of the Lollapalooza festival August 4-6 in Chicago's Grant Park. That three-day fest has a lineup that includes West, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Death Cab for Cutie, Flaming Lips, Manu Chao, Wilco, Ween, Queens of the Stone Age, and the Raconteurs with Jack White of the White Stripes.

But they trounce the ticket price for Lollapalooza, which costs $130 for a three-day pass. Pitchfork charges $30 for a two-day pass and $20 for a single day, while Intonation charges $35 for a two-day pass and $20 for a single day.
