The Pitchfork Music Festival returned on Friday, Sept. 10 with a day full of great music from Phoebe Bridgers, Big Thief, Kelly Lee Owens, Animal Collective, The Fiery Furnaces, black midi and many more acts. Fans seemed especially enthusiastic about enjoying live music in the open air following last year’s cancellation due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The weather was beautiful, joy was plentiful and the music sounded better than ever. Check out photos from the first day of the Pitchfork Music Festival 2021 and visit Pitchforkmusicfestival.com for information about the remaining two days of the event.
