Musicians mourn as Pitchfork Music Festival leaves Chicago
Update: 2024-11-20
Description
Fans and artists were shocked when Pitchfork Music Festival announced this month that it wouldn’t be returning to Chicago next summer after 19 years. The festival had become a staple for the city’s music scene, and an opportunity for local artists to perform alongside big names.
In a social media post, organizers blamed the rapidly evolving music festival landscape for their exit saying, “the decision was not made lightly.”
“We are deeply grateful to the City of Chicago for being our Festival’s home for nearly two decades, to the artists who graced our stages with unforgettable performances, and to the fans who brought unmatched energy year after year.”
Vocalo producer Morgan Ciocca talked with local musicians Jeff Parker, Sen Morimoto and Kara Jackson to find out how they’re processing the news.
