Pitchfork Music Festival 2020 Cancelled

In the biggest domino to fall yet in a young but already nightmarish year for Chicago live music, Pitchfork Music Festival has cancelled its 2020 edition due to Covid-19. The festival, which was scheduled for July 17-19 in Chicago’s Union Park, was to host a star-studded lineup in honor of the festival’s 15th anniversary headlined by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Run the Jewels, and The National. “It can be pretty daunting to think about the future of live music right now,” the festival notes on its website, “but know that we are fully committed to bringing Pitchfork Music Festival back in 2021, if the public health situation allows for it.” In the meantime, the festival is planning additional livestreams “and more ways to use the full weight of Pitchfork to support musicians and the community around our festival.”
