Last year's main draws at the fest included Vampire Weekend, A$AP Rocky, Feist, Sleigh Bells, Kendrick Lamar and Grimes. Pitchfork fest has been held at Chicago's Union Park since the festival launched in 2006.

Bjork will take the stage following a lengthy trek in support of her 2011 album Biophilia, which included multi-day residencies in select cities around the globe. Kelly, meanwhile, released his Write Me Back studio album last year, while Belle & Sebastian's most recent LP, Belle and Sebastian Write About Love, was released in 2010.
