Often accounted as theĀ festival with the most intelligent lineup, Pitchfork Music Festival 2015 was obviously awaited for eagerly. And boy, was it great!
Chance The Rapper, Caribou, Sleater Kinney, Wilco, Future Island, The New Pornographers, Chvrches, Run the Jewels and Panda Bear where just some of the names that brought the house down at the recently concluding Pitchfork Music Festival or P4K, as it is more popularly called. And quite obviously, the turnout consisted of sharply cut music lovers assembled together for the love of this exciting line-up.
Here are some of the highlights from the festival –

2.Ā And they were dressed like your average, serious music loverĀ
Quite visibly, Pitchfork commands the kind of music festival attendees who come in dressed sharp, while avoiding any kind of fashion clichƩ we have to come to associate festivals with.
