Pitchfork Music Festival 2017

Another year, another Pitchfork Music Festival.  This may have been one of the best, with headliners being LCD Soundsystem, A Tribe Called Quest, and Solange!  I’m not often swayed by the headliners, as they’re usually someone I’ve already seen before - but this year was different! 

Non-headlining favorites this year:  Dawn Richard, Kamaiyah, Arca, Mitski, Madlib, Kilo Kish, Colin Stetson, Hamilton Leithauser, Jamila Woods, and Nicolas Jaar!  Check them out.

Some Cleveland press on the event too!

"Pitchfork returned to Chicago's Union Park this past weekend for its annual summer music festival, and we were there to experience it all.

The music website's festival has evolved a lot since its early heavy indie-rock leaning origins, and the lineup reflected the change with an eclectic mix of up-and-coming artists spanning multiple genres. In the past, they have prided themselves on booking acts before they blow up, but this year might have been one of the most established lineups yet, with three-day passes selling out before the festival took place."
