Pitchfork Music Festival Paris announces impressive first wave of acts

Fever Ray, Blood Orange, Bon Iver, and Mac DeMarco are the first names for this year's Pitchfork Paris celebrations, with many more to be revealed in the weeks ahead.

The annual extravaganza will take place once more at the Grande Halle De La Villette on 1-3 November. In addition to the main fest, there'll be two nights of 'Avant Garde' in the Bastille area of the city - the events (taking place 30-31 October) will "showcase the best of the international independent music scene" in small venues and clubs.
