[edit] 2005

The festival was held on July 16 - July 17, 2005. It was curated and launched by Pitchfork Media and supported by Microsoft (by way of the Xbox), Tower Records, WLUW and PETA2, among others.

The admission price was $15 per day, with a limited number of $22 two day passes that were available online only. Gates opened at noon each day.

The festival had been announced as slated for Chicago's small Pulaski Park, but with Pitchfork's success at turning it into a national attraction, the festival was moved twice, ending up in the much larger Union Park.

[edit] 2006

The 2006 festival was held at Union Park and curated by VICE Records and supported by KEXP. Pitchfork and independent concert promoter Mike Reed withdrew their support from the festival following their split with promotion company Skyline Chicago, who organizes the festival. Pitchfork will be staging their own music festival in 2006, the Pitchfork Music Festival.

Tickets went on sale on Monday, March 13 and cost $35 for a two-day pass and $20 for a single-day pass, along with a limited quantity of $25 two-day passes available.
