I know many will cite a line-up from 10-15 years ago and I wouldn't blame you. This particular event felt like a novelty at the time but after going to so many concerts and festivals, it still feels like a unique experience with nothing like it on the horizon anywhere. Hoping that something comes to fill the void this festival will leave (or possibly for it to return at some point).

Now that P4k is officially dead. Anybody have some full set recordings from past P4ks? I'm specifically looking for Caroline Polachek and Big Thief from 2021. Help a brotha out. Thanks.

Lollapalooza caters to the more mainstream crowd with a sprinkle of indie acts, Riot Fest caters to the punk crowd with again, a sprinkle of alternative/indie acts, but neither cater specifically to indie acts. Sure, you can still see the acts that would likely play this festival at their own solo shows, but it was nice to have three days worth outside in the summer.

The Empty Bottle has been doing some cool things on the smaller side like Beyond the Gate and that Cool Love Warm Dreams festival they just had so maybe they fill the void with something? They seem like the likeliest possibility just due to how much they care about the music scene in Chicago, but who knows if they want to take that on.

What are your thoughts?

Been going to the festival for eleven years straight now and can't imagine a summer without it. Is there anything comparable (in North America) that is worth looking into? I always enjoyed the chill vibe of the fest and the general affordability (I know both are rare to find).

Can anyone give further explaination as to why Pitchfork is being cancelled? I know GQ has to play a big part of it but I’m stil confused. Is it just not making enough money? I feel like fans would be willing to pay more money if needed for tickets. Anyways thanks Pitchfork fest for some of my favorite memories of all time. Rip

Anyone got a spare one?

Anyone from London going for the Arooj Aftab concert ? I’m going solo and would like to join someone who might be going solo or with friends

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I won't be able to make it to Paris this Saturday. I'd be happy to give my concert ticket for Avant Garde artists on November 9th to someone else though!

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!
