Hi! Anyone going to Pitchfork Festival in Paris? I'm going to Avant Garde but willing to go to other concerts during the week.
Touring in March here at the salt shed. 3 months out, so could be in play. Plus they e had Nicolas Jaar previously.
See title. Do you think Charli XCX could headline in 2025 or is she too big to be a headliner now?
hi! in the past 6 months or so i have gotten even more into pitchfork and music journalism/criticism (only to learn about the folding + that some of my fav writers left) + sadly wasn't able to make it to the festival. i'm now realizing that because pitchfork folded into GQ the festival might not really look the same in 2025? i don't know what'll happen but i am really hoping to go next year -- truly wish i had gotten more into p4k earlier :( what do other people think?
Hello, was wondering if someone could help me track down the brand/company that was in the craft record tent! They had the “Bart” bart tees and totes, and the NPR bumper sticker, UR tshirts? If anyone knows the brand or company that would rule!
did anybody else receive an email about see tickets settlement thing?! I remember receiving an email about a data leak from when I bought tickets for pitchfork last year but i figured it had been resolved?! i guess not
Thanks Pitchfork
Lost my grandpa’s hat during the mannequin pussy set. It is extremely special to me. I figure someone probably picked it up. I I spoke with security yesterday about it.
I know this is a long shot but I would love if I could get it back!!!
Don't get me wrong, I had a fun weekend. But the last few years i've been noticing how underwhelming the official festival merch for r/PitchforkMusicFest has been.
I'm not talking about artist merch (that's a whole other headache sometimes). I'm speaking specifically about the festival merch.
The point is for it to sell right? This city is filled with talented graphic artist that'll work for next to nothing. They could even make a contest out of it. Or find sponsors like lollapalooza did with local Chicago area restaurants. Merch is such a great idea too. If you make stickers people will buy them. People buy coozies for just one day. Put some effort into the design.
This might sound petty, but it really feels like their leaving money on the table here. I walked out this year and bought nothing. That's partly cause the artists i came to see didn't have anything. But the offerings from pitchfork were exceptionally slim and all gross. Nothing I would actually enjoy wearing, either cause it had a cool design or a cool slogan. To date, my favorite festival shirt was from the St. Vincent tour a few years ago where she had these shirts with her blowing bubble gum and St. Vincent in Bold Yellow vintage script text above and the back had her tour dates and in big bold letters at the very top it said "Daddy's Home". That's a shirt you wear all the time. This Japanese amazon store knock off is a mere fraction of how cool the actual fest shirt is in person.
It's just, they have so many resources and to be printing garbage year after year is unacceptable. Stuff like this shouldn't happen. That cotton deserves better.
This is a thread to post about what you liked/disliked about the festival this year. Basically a post festival thread to get your thoughts out about this years festival.
