There was something in the air at the Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend. The number of people in the crowd repeatedly having medical issues might have set a record, with artists including Japanese Breakfast on Saturday and Noname on Sunday having to pause their sets several times to help call for onsite medics.
The rest of the audience (abnormally half-capped most of the three days) also seemed to have a real lull in energy that, at times, brought down the collective pulse of Union Park.
