Pitchfork Music Festival opened in Union Park Friday in a steady rain that puddled in the mud. Saturday opens with Chicago rapper CupcakKe and concludes with Mitski. The Roots will close out the weekend on Sunday.
Concertgoers watch The National perform during the Pitchfork Music Festival at Union Park, July 15, 2022. After a delayed start to the music festival last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s event returns to its home in July.
“We come every year,” said Joanna Seo of Buffalo Grove, at the festival with a friend. “We don’t even look at the lineup.” As organized by the formerly Chicago-based music publication that shares its name, Pitchfork has a daily capacity of about 20,000, drawing both local music lovers and out-of-towners. Along with music, it sports a wide array of food vendors and — with the CHIRP Record Fair, Flatstock Poster Fair and Renegade Craft Fair — what are surely the best shopping opportunities of any major Chicago music fest.
