Pitchfork’s Editor-in-Chief Puja Patel said in a statement, “We are unbelievably excited to celebrate the return of live shows, our music community, and, most importantly, the artists and events crews who have made this year’s festival possible. I know this will be a cathartic weekend for all of us, and that it lands right before the 25th anniversary of the publication makes it all the more special.”
The headliner’s for the year include Erykah Badu, Phoebe Bridgers, and St. Vincent. Other exciting names include Big Thief, Angel Olsen, Animal Collective, Kim Gordon, Andy Shauf, Cat Power, Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Caroline Polachek, Yves Tumor, Armand Hammer, Faye Webster, and KeiyaA.
In regard to health and safety for the fest, masks will still be required throughout the festival grounds but may be removed for eating and drinking.
