What is still sharp at the Pitchfork Music Festival?
In its fifth year in the West Side’s Union Park, since its origin as Intonation in 2005, the Pitchfork Music Festival has cemented its reputation as the premier annual celebration of cutting-edge music in Chicago — and arguably the entire country. With a comfortable if not particularly scenic setting, manageable crowds, bargain-priced tickets, an encouraging community vibe and most of all imaginative and musically challenging bookings, Pitchfork is everything the festival experience should be — that is, for those of us who value the music over “making the scene.” Sources: http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/derogatis/1669944,pitchfork-music-festival-chicago-derogatis-071709.
