Pitchfork Music Festival 2022 • Staff Takes
As few members of our editorial team connected on our coverage of Pitchfork Music Festival this morning, there was one main takeaway from the conversation that we noted: whether rain and/or thunderstorms are in this weekend’s forecast, our collective excitement for this year’s fest hasn’t faded.
While some of our staff has planned out their schedule for the weekend ahead of the fest, others are going to decide their schedules in the moment. Even those who aren’t able to physically be at the festival will be tuning into the Live Stream from a distance. This collective enthusiasm is shared by Chicagoans and music fans based in our city each year as the festival approaches. (Can’t forget to give a shoutout to friends and attendees traveling from out of town too – we see you!!) Now that Day 1 has arrived, the greater music community will get to experience another weekend packed with live performances from artists both at the festival and Chicago’s Independent Venues for Pitchfork After Shows.
We invite you to take a quick read through some of our staff’s takes on this year’s edition of P4K below, calling out aspects of the fest they’re most excited for and championing artists they’re looking forward to watching this weekend. You can also stay close to These Days’ Instagram for live coverage and documentation of this year’s fest from the eyes of our editors Iman Music, Ellie Naughton and Halle Mohr throughout the weekend.
