JULY 15-17 | CHICAGO—The 11th annual Pitchfork Music Festival was held once again at Chicago's Union Park. The three-day event featured an eclectic mix of musical genres to please the palate. The weather also decided to abide by these rules: There was chilly temps and some rain on Friday, absolutely perfect summer weather on Saturday, and not to be forgotten, brutally hot and humid conditions on Sunday, as is the norm for the Midwest in mid-July. With the summer festival circuit being so saturated, it can be difficult to stand out, but the tried and true Pitchfork Music Festival was able to deliver plenty of stand-out moments that would make anyone in attendance look forward to next year the minute the last note rang out on Sunday night. Below are a handful of thoughts on some of the performers during the weekend.
