Farewell to Pitchfork: Chicago Music Scene Makes a Significant Festival

The Pitchfork Music Festival, a beloved musical gathering that has graced Chicago since 2006, is officially calling it quits after nearly 19 incredible years. Created by the influential music publication Pitchfork Media, the festival gained fame for its diverse lineup, featuring indie rock, alternative, electronic, and pop artists, all while supporting independent musicians and taking a curatorial approach to its lineup.

In a heartfelt announcement, organizers revealed that the festival will not return to Union Park in 2025, attributing the tough decision to a lack of sponsorship support, soaring insurance costs, and increased competition from other summer music events.

While the Pitchfork Music Festival may be coming to an end, the brand will continue to host various events and extends its gratitude to the city of Chicago, as well as the artists and fans, for their unwavering support over the years. This news comes on the heels of announcements regarding cutbacks at the festival's parent company, Condé Nast.
