Pitchfork Music Festival 2016 Lineup
The Pitchfork Music Festival has announced its 2016 lineup. Intriguingly, this year the fest hasn’t specified headliners but is presenting its list of performers in alphabetical order. If I had to guess, I’d say Broken Social Scene is Friday’s headliner, Saturday is topped off by either Sufjan Stevens or Brian Wilson, and either Miguel or Jeremih is closing out Sunday night. Other intriguing inclusions: Carly Rae Jepsen! FKA twigs! Anderson .Paak! Beach House! Blood Orange! Super Furry Animals! The Hotelier! Neon Indian! Jenny Hval! Kamasi Washington! Here’s the daily breakdown from a press release:
Friday will see performances by Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Carly Rae Jepsen, Girl Band, Julia Holter, Mick Jenkins, Moses Sumney, The Range, Shamir, Twin Peaks, and Whitney.
