Pitchfork Music Festival Ends 19-Year Run in Chicago

The festival will not return in 2025 as organizers cite the rapidly changing music festival landscape.

Pitchfork Music Festival, a staple in Chicago's music scene since 2006, will not take place in 2025.
Organizers announced the decision, emphasizing it was made after careful consideration of the evolving festival market.
The festival has been a key part of Chicago's arts scene, known for its eclectic lineup and community atmosphere.
Condé Nast, Pitchfork's parent company, recently merged the publication with GQ, leading to staff layoffs earlier this year.
Despite the cancellation, Pitchfork plans to continue hosting events in the future, exploring new locations and formats.
