Many fans were heartbroken when they learned Pitchfork Music festival was leaving Chicago for good after 19 years.
But now one of the festival’s co-founders is working on a new event featuring a wide range of musical genres.
Mike Reed organized Sound and Gravity to run from Sept. 10 through 14. Instead of being concentrated on several stages in a park, like the Pitchfork festival, was, the new festival will span multiple venues including Constellation, Hungry Brain, Judson & Moore, Beat Kitchen, Guild Row and Rockwell on the River.
Sound and Gravity will feature 48 musical acts spanning a diverse range of genres including experimental, contemporary classical, jazz and indie.
This is the first major event from Reed since Pitchfork Music Festival. You can find more information, a full lineup, and purchase tickets at soundandgravity.org.
