Pitchfork Music Festival 2024 Tour • Page 8

Not returning for 2025.

 

What a bummer.

 

Wow, did not expect that. Huge bummer to lose a fest that was always well curated and seemed to have a great community around it.

 

Yeah, huge loss. And while some are clinging to the language that it may be moving elsewhere, it’s just dead. Condé Nast’d.

 

This festival was consistently the best festival for my musical interests, and I always left discovering new artists. Definitely a big loss although the writing was kind of on the wall and there were rumors for a while, still sad.

 

It covered enough of the various genres I enjoyed and also had some great aftershows. I’m so bummed.

 

I have no idea how involved Mike still is but this would be an awesome way to bring back Intonation.

 

Man this fucking sucks. Pretty much the only festival I still go to.

 

I had no idea the guy who founded Constellation and Hungry Brain is the co-founder of this festival. Interesting.

 

Yep and from what I’m gathering he’s just done with festival planning like that of Pitchfork. Hopefully someone comes and fills in the gap.

 

Yeah that tracks. Much as I would've liked a proper farewell I wouldn't have wanted it to be a weird attempt at a mini lolla

 

And it just shows how little Conde Nast understands festivals.

A pop act that costs 1mil+ isn't enough of a reason for people to attend. Very rarely does the day headliner drive the ticket sales you need to sustain a festival - you need to give people a reason to come all day.

 

For sure, and like what would that have done for them? Allowed them to charge more money for tickets? Lose some core attendance? Sell out a very small park? Have more "product activations" because the record fair and craft fair would probably stop being a thing at a fest like that?

 

They'd have to charge more while losing attendees - this was what happened last year with Black Pumas!

And yeah, they'd lose all the fun things about it like the poster booths, Renegade, and CHIRP record fair.
