Founded in 1996, Pitchfork Media quickly became a leading voice in online music criticism, and its accompanying festival is poised for the same brand of success. Just five years old, it drew an impressive crowd last year, and three-day passes have already sold out for the 2010 event. More than 40 acts are on the 2010 roster, from Swedish pop star Robyn to art rockers Liars.
