De La Soul Brought Community (and some guests.)

It’s rare to have everyone with their hands up to the music. But, you don’t say no to De La Soul. They asked everyone – including the photographers to put their hands up for a bit. One of my favorite sets of the weekend. Later in the set, they brought out Pharoahe Monch and Talib Kweli.

Jessie Ware Brought ‘The Pearl’ To The Green Stage.

Jessie Ware and her fantastic band and dancers transformed the Green Stage into The Pearl. Playing mainly tracks from ‘That Feels Good’ and ‘What’s Your Pleasure.’ Got everyone dancing.

Jamie xx – Closing out the Green Stage on Day 2.

Playing a variety of covers and some of his own songs (Such as ‘Treat Each Other Right.’) A perfect way to close out the second night of Pitchfork.

The Vibes

From free Iced Coffee (courtesy of Nespresso.) To the creators tent, full of vendors, and labels. I also loved the City of Austin’s area. Which also held conversations from some of the artists throughout the weekend. Small enough that you could walk from the red stage to the blue stage in 5 minutes. As well as an early end time (the headlining artists were done at 9:45pm.) Hope to return in the future.
