Music lovers have saved the date. It’s almost time to sweat it out under the Chicago summer sun.
Pitchfork Music Festival is this weekend, July 13 to 15, in Chicago’s Union Park. Headliners Feist, Grimes and Vampire Weekend are impressive, but the festival’s depth is what makes it worth your attention.
Artists range from noise elder Tim Hecker to gilded rapper A$AP Rocky; rockers The Men to buzzed dub-songwriter King Krule. You’ll also get a second chance to check out recent Bloomington visitors Danny Brown, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Liturgy. Chicago local favorites The Atlas Moth and A Lull open the festival Saturday and Sunday.
Get ready for a full recap of Pitchfork’s most promising lineup in years. @IDS_WEEKEND will live-tweet all three days of the festival, in addition to posting nightly blog recaps. Look forward to comprehensive online coverage of one of the summer’s best music events and a full-page feature in next week’s print edition.
