Pitchfork, the archly critical music review site long based in Chicago, was recently gutted by its corporate overlord Conde Nast.
But the Pitchfork Music Festival Chicago soldiers on. The annual music festival that started out focused on indie rock and now represents a more diverse collection of musical genres returns to Union Park on Chicago's west side between July 19 and July 21.
This year's Pitchfork headliners include the Grammy-nominated Austin-based psychedelic soul band Black Pumas, the English DJ Jaime xx and Alanis Morissette, the multiplatinum Grammy winner who had many 1990s hits like "You Oughta Know," "Hand in My Pocket" and "Ironic."
The Friday, July 19 lineup includes Black Pumas, Jai Paul, 100 Gecs, Jeff Rosenstock, Yaeji, Sudan Archives, Amen Dunes, Billy Woods and Kenny Segal Tkay Maidza, Doss, ML Buch, Rosali, Angry Blackmen and Black Duck.

More than 60,000 people usually turn out to the three-day music festival, which is one of Chicago's largest along with Lollapalooza and Riot Fest. It hosts more than 40 musicians, a vinyl record fair, a craft fair and a poster fair featuring promotional concert posters made by local artists.
Tickets are currently $109 for one day and $219 for all three days but go up the closer it gets to the music festival.
