JPEGMAFIA, Illuminati Hotties, Kelela, Koffee & Mdou Moctar closed the fest out in fiery fashion
With rain no longer in the forecast, the artists on Day 3 of Pitchfork Fest turned up the heat and brought the Union Park crowd to its knees. Standout moments included a display of Taureg magic from Niger-based guitar god Mdou Moctar, vibrant Jamaican pop from Koffee, and a heavy dose of indie punk from Illuminati Hotties.
Meanwhile, Kelela delivered her breakbeat-infused alt-R&B stylings, while JPEGMAFIA continued to prove why he’s the best experimental rapper in the game with his explosive high-energy afternoon set. Another epic Pitchfork Festival in the books. Take a scroll through the photos below for some of the highlights.
