Pitchfork Music Festival Tickets

Pitchfork Music Festival is a critic-curated, three-day celebration of independent sound staged at Chicago’s Union Park. Launched in 2006 by Pitchfork, the fest pairs adventurous headliners with rising discoveries across indie rock, hip-hop, electronic, jazz, and experimental scenes. Fans roam between multiple stages, dig through an on-site record fair, sample beloved Chicago food vendors, and soak up a city-park setting that keeps sets close and the vibe community-minded. With smart scheduling, artist-forward production, and a loyal crowd, it is where next-wave artists break big and cult favorites play deep cuts.
