Some ticket details for the 2010 incarnation of the Pitchfork Music Festival were announced yesterday, and now a few bands playing the event have been revealed. Tickets for the show, which takes place between July 16-18, go on sale today via this link, and cost $90 for three days or $40 for a one-day pass.

The artists helping Ryan Schreiber keep up his collection of Wipers records include Modest Mouse, who are the only group to be announced so far on July 16, plus LCD Soundsystem, Raekwon and Here We Go Magic (who all appear on July 17) and Pavement, St. Vincent, Lightning Bolt, Cass McCombs and Sleigh Bells (who fill out the July 18 lineup).

More bands will be announced over the coming months, but this already looks like being one of the most impressive festivals in North America this year (although ATP New York will probably give it a run for its money). And just $90 for three days? This already looks like a bargain.
