Let's be honest, we've been anticipating for live music to return for a good long while. And after what will have been more than 2 years, the Pitchfork Music Festival will be returning to Union Park in Chicago next month from September 10 - 12th with indie queen Phoebe Bridgers, art rocker St. Vincent and neo soul virtuoso Erykah Badu at the top of this year’s lineup. The festival having three females at the top should come to nobody's surprise as Pitchfork has gone above and beyond many of their other festival contemporaries to curate a line up with at least a 50/50 gender split. They are joined by strong group of Pitchfork Fest alumni including the likes of Animal Collective, Danny Brown, Waxahatchee, Flying Lotus, Angel Olsen, and Cat Power. As always, there is a prominent contingent of Chicago based artists on the bill such as indie trio Dehd, R&B songstress Jamila Woods, singer-songwriter KeiyaA and step producer DJ Nate who bolster a deep undercard. And to top it off, following a decade long hiatus, indie pop stalwarts The Fiery Furnaces reunite to play an (almost) hometown Chicago show.
Here are four must see artists for the weekend. Tickets are on sale now. Please read the festival’s COVID-19 policy regarding entry.
