Although technically they're taking the summer off, theDave Matthews Bandare using their downtime to stage four multi-day, multi-band festivals across America this summer. On Thursday, they announced that the second of these will take place on July 8 - 10 at Chicago's Lakeside. It will be the first event ever at the open space, which offers views of Chicago's picturesque downtown from across the water.

The lineup draws as much from indie rockers as it does from folkier and more pop oriented acts. Perhaps most notably, theFlaming Lipswill performPink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' in its entirety, much like they did atBonnaroolast summer. Additional performers includeEdward Sharpe& the Magnetic Zeros,Ray LaMontagne,Kid Cudi,Ben Folds,Emmylou Harris,Amos Lee,Sharon Jones& the Dap-Kings,Gomez,Drive-By Truckers,Michael Franti& Spearhead, theJayhawks,Blind Pilotand many more. Oh, and Dave Matthews Band will take the nightly headlining slots -- you get that privilege when you're the festival's host, you know.

The first Dave Matthews Band Caravan was announced last month and will take place in Atlantic City, N.J. on June 24 - 26. For those keeping score, that's two down, two to go. Peep the deets and what-not at theofficial Caravan site.
