Pitchfork Music Festival 2019 Forced to Delay Opening Gates on Day 3 Due to Thunderstorms

Poor weather in Chicago over the past couple days has left the Pitchfork Music Festival in a state of of disarray.  After a rough Day 2, where the festival was completely evacuated then restarted, Day 3 is facing similar issues.  Pitchfork tweeted at 12:25 PM that they would be holding the gates until 12:45 PM.  They then postponed the opening of the festival indefinitely in another tweet roughly 15 minutes later, before deciding to finally start the festival in a third tweet a half hour later.  Fortunately, the weather issues have had minimal impact on the performance schedule, with only two artists missing out yesterday, and only one today.

Matthew Jordan: I grew up in Massachusetts, but I am currently a student at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. I picked up my first musical instrument (viola) in the 3rd grade, and have been a fan of everything the medium has to offer ever since. Some of my favorite artists right now include Matt Maltese, Idles, MIKE, Benny the Butcher, Standing on the Corner, Built to Spill, and Frank Ocean. I also love following the charts and the music business to see what is connecting with listeners and why.
