Pitchfork Music Festival Leaves Chicago

The Long-Running Festival Will Move to a New Location in 2023

After 15 years in Chicago, the Pitchfork Music Festival is moving to a new location in 2023. The festival will be held at Union Park in the West Side of Chicago from July 21-23, 2023.

Reasons for the Move

The festival's organizers cited several reasons for the move, including the need for more space, improved transportation options, and a more diverse crowd. Union Park is nearly twice the size of the festival's previous location in Union Park, and it is easily accessible by public transportation.

The organizers also hope that the move to Union Park will help to attract a more diverse crowd. The West Side of Chicago is a predominantly Black and Latino community, and the festival's organizers hope that the move will help to make the festival more accessible to residents of that community.

What to Expect at the New Location

The new location will offer several advantages over the previous location. Union Park is larger, which will allow the festival to expand its programming. The park also has better transportation options, with several CTA bus lines and the Blue Line CTA train station located nearby.

The festival's organizers are also planning to make several changes to the festival's programming in 2023. The festival will feature a wider variety of music genres, and there will be more opportunities for attendees to interact with the artists.

Conclusion

The move to Union Park is a significant change for the Pitchfork Music Festival, but it is one that is likely to benefit the festival in the long run. The new location offers several advantages over the previous location, and the festival's organizers are planning to make several changes to the festival's programming in 2023. As a result, the Pitchfork Music Festival is likely to continue to be one of the most popular music festivals in the country.
