The Pitchfork Music Festival is officially upon us! Yep, THIS weekend (July 16th-18th) thousands of badly dressed hipsters with ironic facial hair who haven’t bathed in weeks and only eat vegan food but don’t mind smoking Parliaments will descend upon Chicago’s Union Park for three days of humidity and heat stroke. Oh, and music* of course!
Don’t have tickets yet? Some passes for Friday are still available, so get on that ASAP. Saturday and Sunday day-passes have SOLD OUT. However, Pitchfork has confirmed that a very very limited number of passes for each day will be released this week. These tickets will go on sale THURSDAY JULY 15th at 11am at the festival site AKA Union Park. So if you want them, get there early!
For all the folks who can’t make it, turn those frowns upside down! Pitchfork will be streaming the festival online at http://www.pitchforkmusicfestival.com/media.php starting Friday. You too will be able to enjoy the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Pavement, Modest Mouse, Lightning Bolt, and more!
For more news, visit the festival’s official website.
*This also marks the first year Pitchfork has a COMEDY STAGE. Friday on the Balance Stage, you can enjoy the comedic stylings of Hannibal Buress(!), Wyatt Cenac(!), Michael Showalter(!!!!!), and Eugene Mirman (!!!!). Top notch.
