The Beautiful Faces and Scenes of Pitchfork Music Festival: Day One

We're out here trying to catch Pokémon among all your favorite buzz bands.

Same.

Oh baby, it’s that time of year again. You know, when music lovers descend upon Union Park in Chicago to drink excessively (but responsibly) and watch all their favorite buzz bands / former Beach Boys. Day one of the 2016 edition featured acts like Shamir, Beach House, Twin Peaks, Mick Jenkins, Whitney, Moses Sumney, Broken Social Scene, and plenty of cool haircuts. We’re out here enjoying the sun and Twin Peaks Goose Island IPA while trying to catch as many Pokémon as possible. We’re also watching music, we promise. To prove it, here are a bunch of photos of the cool shit we saw by Chicago-based photographer Petya Shalamanova. Look at all of them. They're cool. Trust us; we're music journalists!
