History
2009
The 2009 Pitchfork Music Festival was held July 17-19, 2009. [1]
2008
The 2008 Pitchfork Music Festival was held July 18-20, 2008. All Tomorrow's Parties again collaborated with Pitchfork on a Don't Look Back stage, which included Public Enemy performing It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back
. Three-day passes for the event sold out in May. [2]
2007
The 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival was held on July 13-15, 2007, again in Union Park. The festival was sold out [3] with 48,000 visitors. [4]
Sonic Youth performed the classic Daydream Nation
. Slint and GZA joined Sonic Youth on opening night, performing their classics Spiderland
and Liquid Swords
, respectively. These three sets were part of a collaboration with British promoters All Tomorrow's Parties, and formed part of their Don't Look Back series.
Among the headliners for the 2007 festival was Yoko Ono performing a full set that mixed music and performance art. She sang "Mulberries", a song about her time in the countryside after the Japanese collapse in World War II for only the third time in her life, with Thurston Moore; Ono had previously performed the song once with John Lennon and once with Sean Lennon.
2006
The fest drew more than 35,000 visitors July 29 and 30, 2006. The two main stages featured a variety of popular indie bands, while the tent featured "a diverse range of hip-hop, experimental, electronic, jazz, and dance acts", according to Pitchfork.
