dang, 90%+ chance Iāll be trekking to Chicago for that Pitchfork winter thing. The add-on ticket aspect made me cringe for a second, but when you compare to the cost of non-Pitchfork fests, it will likely still come out cheaper total and likely with smaller crowds since people wonāt be seeing acts they donāt care enough to pay for.
Iād make the trip for probably a half dozen or so of those performances even if they were alone (esp Laurie Anderson, Panda Bear, Slowdive [why does Mount Eerie have to overlap with Slowdive ahhhhh]), pretty amazing to have such a solid lineup for a winter event!
