Sphere: Related ContentWe’re barely into 2010 and already the rumor mill is abuzz with speculation surrounding this summer’s festival headliners. The NYE announcement that grunge pioneer Soundgarden is reforming led many to suspect that the group was a shoe-in for this year’s Lollapalooza (which the Seattle group has played twice previously, in 1992 and 1996). Now, NYC/Chicago music blog Consequence of Sound reports an already popular rumor that recently reformed indie heavyweight Pavement will headline this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival. We immediately put in a call to Pitchfork’s office, and while it wouldn’t yet confirm, it didn’t deny it either. COS doesn’t cite its source, but the idea makes enough sense on paper. Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus has a history with the Pitchfork Fest, having performed solo in 2007.
We’ve also learned from our own private source that Chicago’s own Smith Westerns are slated to appear at this year’s Pitchfork Fest. But back to the guessing game: It’s pretty safe to assume that the folks at Pitchfork will call on their current crop of buzz bands, among them Neon Indian, Surfer Blood, Girls and the Drums. Judging by the site’s coverage, we also wouldn’t be surprised to see rising rapper Freddie Gibbs on the lineup. That is, if Lolla doesn’t snatch him up first, which seems just as likely given the surprisingly homogenous pool of artists from which talent is drawn, as Sun-Times music critic Jim DeRogatis discovered in this revealing interview with William Morris “super-agent” Marc Geiger. As we reported a few months back, Lollapalooza is currently accepting suggestions for this year’s lineup. So if the thought of thousands of shirtless middle-aged dudes in Dr. Martens bellowing “Outshined” in Grant Park is too much to bare, best suggest some alternatives immediately.

UPDATE: An interview with Pavement multi-instrumentalist Bob Nastanovich in this past Sunday’s edition of Louisville’s Courier-Journal appears to be the source that many web outlets are crediting the Pavement leak to. Nastanovich himself isn’t quoted, but reporter Jeffrey Lee Puckett gives it away when mentioning how the group’s Pitchfork appearance is the closest they’ll get to Louisville on their reunion tour:
“The vast majority of venues will be far larger than any they used to play, but none are expected to be in Louisville. Chicago’s Pitchfork Festival will likely be the closest; the only non-festival U.S. dates announced so far are the late September shows in Central Park.”
