From http://www.silverwrapper.com:

Over the past decade, millions have flocked to the Chicago area to attend countless outdoor festivals... not only to witness the music, but also to contribute and take part in some of the magic created by the Windy City's culture. This year will be no exception; however, for the first time ever, music lovers will have a multi-day opportunity to bring the good vibes that surround Silver Wrapper shows to the Chicago summer festival circuit.

The Wicker Park Festival is a two-day, all-day event featuring music presented by Silver Wrapper. It is a free event, and everyone at Silver Wrapper has been working hard all year to make this ONE to remember. As a result the musical line-up is stacked. Silver Wrapper is proud to announce the line-up for the 2005 Wicker Park Festival South Stage, to take place outdoors, July 30th and July 31st, at the famous six-way intersection of Milwaukee, North and Damen (which will be blocked off):

Saturday, July 30 :: Wicker Park Festival :: Chicago IL
MOFRO
Benevento-Russo Duo
Motherlode
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey
Future Rock

Sunday, July 31 :: Wicker Park Festival :: Chicago IL
Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen
Tortured Soul
Kaki King
Mocean Worker
Pünsapaya

In addition to the day festival music, Silver Wrapper will also be putting on late night events. On Saturday, July 30, at The Metro, the New Deal and Conspirator will get together for an event being dubbed FREAKuency Alignment, and bring you electronic grooves into the wee hours of Sunday morning. And, on Sunday, July 31, after the smoke has cleared at the festival, Bustle In Your Hedgerow will make their first Midwest appearance at Subterranean. If you're not familiar, Bustle In Your Hedgerow is Marco Benevento, Joe Russo and Scott Metzger, and they'll be bringing you an evening of Led Zeppelin music.

Saturday, July 30 :: The Metro :: Chicago IL
FREAKuency Alignment
the New Deal
Conspirator

Sunday, July 31 :: Subterranean :: Chicago IL
Bustle In Your Hedgerow

this is going to be the highlight weekend of summer '05 in Chicago. The Duo are playing the Terrace (one of the best outdoor venues in the midwest, all shows are free) in Madison the night before, if ya ain't got nothin' to do, get your ass up there.
And oh yeah, New Deal/Conspirator late-night!?!?!? Could be the hottest late-night combo I've ever seen hit Chicago.
