Review: Pitchfork Music Festival 2019

The 14th annual Pitchfork Music Festival brought a dynamic wave to Union Park, whether it was in the artists performing or the weather that came with it. Searing temperatures and unforgiving humidity hindered attendees for the first half of the weekend, which then gave way to an out of nowhere storm that prompted an evacuation of the festival grounds and canceled some scheduled performances outright.  Once the clouds cleared and the sun was out, the music kicked right back into high gear. New to the festival this year was Pitchfork Radio broadcasting the entire weekend at the festival grounds.
