Following this year’s being in Paris and London

only went once back in 2016, saw Twigs, Beach House, Blood Orange, Sufjan and Brian Wilson. amazing line up looking back

thats fire

This is crazy

You mean beach boys Bryan Wilson or somebody else

yeah he performed Pet Sounds front to back for it’s anniversary

Pitchfork always been washed

There was a Pitchfork fest? You’d have to put a bullet in my skull before I would ever consider attending

Went to that fest several times during my years in Chicago. Great fest, well-run and I never felt as if they lost their identity along the way like Lollapalooza did.

Dam remember Charlis iconic set?

At complexcon??

Lucky mf

they have hawk tuah at pitchforkfest

they had cool artists perform

honestly sucks the site was a staple from 2007-2011

too bad honestly. this isn't really about pitchfork it's about smaller artists/ "independent" music struggling to sell fests

this really sucks

Symptom of industry collapse

Damn

them and Carly Rae, Jeremih (who brought out Chance at his peak to do Angels) OPN, Moses Sumney, The Range, Anderson Paak, Digable Planets, RP Boo, Neon Indian, Miguel, Kamari Washington, and f***ing Sun Ra Arkestra

All for like $150 for a 3 day mind you.

Legendary fest

Wait.

F*** Condé Nast forever. Easily my favorite festival I’ve ever gotten to attend, and between the site and this they’ve shamelessly gutted it in just a couple years.

End of an era tbh. Pitchfork fest lineups were a yearly music discovery outlet for me even when I moved from the Midwest and wasn’t able to go.

Goddamn

Holy
Just reading this made me nostalgic

they got like 12 employees now

This is happening to pretty much all or these sites . They’re outdated and rarely anyone goes on the site to read a s***ty review

The mid 10s were genuinely incredible and 2016 especially so right up until November lmao

Feeling particularly nostalgic for the Obama era these days
