Preview: Pitchfork Music Festival 2019

The 14th annual Pitchfork Music Festival will take place at Chicago’s Union Park July 19th to the 21st. As domestic festivals are now showcasing more and more talent from abroad, Pitchfork has assembled a strong contingent of artists from around the globe. Swedish songstress Robyn, Scottish indie royalty Belle And Sebastian, Japanese punks CHAI and Cuban sisters Ibeyi are among those who will showcase their global influences. As the festival has always prided itself on representing the city of Chicago, another strong group of local artists makes up part of this year's lineup. Whitney, JPEGMAFIA, Mavis Staples, Valee, and Ric Wilson are just a few of the flavors to take in over the weekend. Here are 4 must-see acts over the weekend at Union Park this year.
