The Pitchfork Music Festival is a week behind us so I wanted to take a quick look back at what took place, and break down the various good and bad aspects of the fest.
It’s hard to argue that the event wasn’t a resounding success. Outside of the oppressive heat that always seems to show up around P4K weekend there are few major complaints from me and from what I gather most everyone else that attended.

Pitchfork Music Festival Day Two has wrapped. Saturday brought even more intense heat and sunlight that wrecked havoc on not only the crowd but some performers. However, a few acts managed to channel the heat into powerful performances, which were truly more engaging that most of Friday’s sets. Yesterday’s winners? Definitely Titus Andronicus, Wolf Parade and LCD Soundsystem. So, before you return to Union Park today, check out our complete wrap up of Pitchfork Fest Saturday…

Per the Chicago Reader, Sónar, an electronic music-focused festival based in Barcelona, Spain, will descend upon Chicago for a three-day event this September 9 – 11.
Launched in 1994, Sónar is self-described as a festival of “Advanced Music and Multimedia Art”, and annually attracts around 80,000 visitors. This year’s fest features a lineup that includes LCD Soundsystem, Air, Chemical Brothers, Hot Chip and more and gets underway this weekend in Barcelona, while the 2009 edition carried acts such as Animal Collective, Crystal Castles, La Roux and Deadmau5.
