Pitchfork Music Festival returns in July with Mitski, The National, and The Roots as headliners
Pitchfork's fest returns to Union Park on July 15-17
Aux News Pitchfork Music Festival
Pitchfork Music Festival tends to have a great lineup worth shelling out for—and this year is no different. This time around, you won’t have to wait until September to attend since it is back to its usual July dates. Pitchfork’s fest returns on July 15-17 at Union Park in Chicago, Illinois with Mitski, The National, and The Roots as headliners.
While you can’t go wrong with seeing any of those names, Mitski is one of the most-anticipated acts playing that weekend. After a brief hiatus that made fans panic over the possibility of not seeing her play again, the musician has sold out nearly every date on her comeback tour. So, if you weren’t one of the lucky people who snagged a regular ticket to that tour (or if you simply don’t want to spend $1,000 on a resold one… yes, they’re really going for that much), now’s your chance to see her live.
The rest of the lineup is also worth seeing and it includes Japanese Breakfast, Parquet Courts, Earl Sweatshirt, Toro y Moi, Lucy Dacus, Spiritualized, Tierra Whack, Indigo De Souza, Spirit Of The Beehive, Camp Cope, Dry Cleaning, Iceage, Arooj Aftab, The Armed, Ethel Cain, Xenia Rubinos, Cate Le Bon, and more.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 11 at 10 a.m. CT. The full lineup is listed below.

That’s a pretty damn good lineup.
Sure, if you like County Fair Music.
Which is it? Have you “never heard of these people,” or is it “County Fair Music.”
I’m not on trial here…your honor.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you will please disregard that last remark.
I would love to see Iceage at a county fair. Also how much do you get paid to be a sour puss around here? Or do you sadly just do this shitck for free?
wow, Spiritualized, I don’t know when I’ve heard of him playing the US or what his live shows are like, that’s the biggest surprise to see up there. Apparently he just released a single for the first time in years and the cover art for it is a flattened prescription box with the track information, which is brilliant.Also: “Mitski is one of the most-anticipated act playing that weekend” – keep being you A.V. Club
I actually caught Spiritualized back in 2008 at Pitchfork and I still think back to that feeling. It was one of the best things I’ve ever seen live.
Was surprised to see Spiritualized so high on the bill didn’t realize they had a big following state side.
I’ve never heard of Mitski outside of the AV Club. But I’ve heard A LOT about her from the AV Club.
here, so you sound less ignorant:https://pitchfork.com/news/mitski-and-david-byrne-share-new-song-this-is-a-life-listen/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/mitski-stay-soft-live-kimmel-laurel-hell-1315078/https://www.vulture.com/article/mitski-profile-laurel-hell.html
I’m not sure “ignorant” is the word you’re looking for here. We’re talking about a pop musician, not like, systemic racism.
No surprise that you are ignorant of the multiple applications of “ignorant”
I guess I just don’t give a fuck about Mitski. Sorry that seems to upset you.
that’s not what you posted about
She’s currently #1 on the billboard alternative chart so some people are clearly hearing of her
Saw Spiritualized open for The Flaming Lips back in 2013, stellar show.
Yeah, I’ve never heard of these people.
They’re fairly popular, but alright. Still, county fair music is rather unsuitable for a qualifier. That is, unless you have a bone to pick with Pitchfork, which fair.Edit: I had to remove the GIF because I was in a nasty mood today and then had a change of heart. Didn’t feel like harping on anyone today.
Really? you’ve never heard of The Roots?
Aren’t they the band that always opens for The Vines?
Mitzki is the new Dawes
I! Have heard of eight of these acts. Booyah.
I think I’m done with live shows. Pandemic or not. CERTAINLY done with festivals. Massive crowds like that set off panic attacks. Plus i’ve already seen the National 3 times (all excellent), so I’m content.
