Pitchfork Music Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pitchfork Music Festival is a music festival organized by Pitchfork Media that was held on July 29 and 30, 2006 in Union Park, Chicago.
In 2005, Pitchfork was asked to curate the successful Intonation Music Festival, but for 2006 Pitchfork and independent concert promoter Mike Reed split with Skyline Chicago, who organized the first festival. Intonation will continue without Pitchfork [1].
The Main Stage continued the formula of popular indie rock acts. A stage curated by Chicago-based PR firm Biz3 featured "a diverse range of hip-hop, experimental, electronic, jazz, and dance acts", according to Pitchfork.
Tickets were $30 for a two-day pass or $20 for either day.
