Listeners’ Guide to Summer Music
2007 | 2006
Saturday, June 17, 2006
This summer is a great time to be a music lover in Chicago. Among the Intonation, Pitchfork, and Lollapalooza music festivals, nearly 200 exciting artists will perform here over a cumulative span of seven days.

For the past month, Chicago Public Radio has been collecting your thoughts on which bands will rule the festivals and why. This special program shares those recommendations, along with tracks from the bands being recommended, helping you decide which festival to attend and what may not be worth your time.
