Pat Duffy, formerly of Pop Tarts Suck Toasted (RIP), will be covering this year’s event for us! Expect a series of live reviews over the next few days. Here’s his first installment. This year’s Pitchfork Music Festival is loaded from head to toe. Three days, 42 bands, a comedy stage, a record fair, a poster fair and more food vendors than you could hope to plow through in one weekend. It’s gonna be an awesome time, but it also has the potential to be a bit overwhelming for anyone trying to navigate the waters for the first time. With that in mind we’ve created this handy, slutty, Absolute Must list for you to live the next 3 days by! We also compiled a mixtape of all 42 acts to get you in the spirit of one of the best, most affordable fests going these days! Make sure to listen & follow our advice for the optimal experience this weekend!
