Pitchfork Music Festival Announces 10th Anniversary Lineup
2015 marks the 10th year of Pitchfork's dynamic Music Festival, in the sunny and vibrant square, Union Park, from Friday, July 17 through Sunday, July 19. To celebrate, they've rounded up a stellar crop of acts to commemorate its decade-long reign as one of Chicago's most revered music festivals. Their aim for the big 10th year lineup was to intermingle up-and-coming acts with established favorites, with an emphasis on hometown artists.
Well-loved Chicago group Wilco will headline the fest Friday evening, with the legendary Sleater-Kinney performing on Saturday evening. Chance the Rapper will bring his electric set to Union Park on Sunday to close out the weekend's events.
With stellar support from acts including Chvrches, Future Islands, Run The Jewels, the New Pornographers, and more, this year's Pitchfork Music Festival lineup is honestly the best I have seen in some time, and I've loved the lineups of years past, too. With many of these acts hailing from Chicago, including Vic Mensa and I LOVE MAKONNEN, there will be no shortage of Chicago love throughout the weekend as the fest's visitors enjoy the tunes.
