Pitchfork Fest is neither snobby nor contrived
Reported by yewknee
Pitchfork Media often gets a bad rap for their opinionated and seemingly overly-informed reviews but when they throw a party, they throw a party. The Pitchfork Music Festival will take place July 29th and 30th in Union Park (Chicago, IL). Confirmed acts thus far include The Walkmen, The Futureheads, The National, Aesop Rock, Mission of Burma, Diplo, Tarantula A.D., and a bunch more (with even more to be announced mid-June). Check out the more for the schedule as it stands now.
