Pitchfork Music Festival is an annual music festival in Union Park in Chicago, Illinois, organized by the online magazine Pitchfork. Starting in 2011, the festival announced a branch staged in Paris at Grande halle de la Villette. The festival, which is normally held over three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) in July, focuses primarily on artists and bands from the alternative rock, hip hop, electronic and dance music genres, although it has also ranged into hardcore punk, experimental rock and jazz in its lineups. While it started as a showcase for just the "cutting edge", it later took on a broader depth and vision, keeping the cutting-edge focus but also including important artists and acts that have influenced newer performers and artists. A festival planned for Berlin at Tempodrom in 2020 was cancelled.
In addition to music, Pitchfork Festival also includes food, beverages, art, and gig posters from local, regional, and national vendors. Pitchfork Festival also hosts a record fair that is organized and managed by CHIRP Radio, a Chicago community radio station. In 2024, Pitchfork announced it would not host the festival in Chicago in 2025.

2005 Intonation Music Festival
In 2005, Pitchfork Media was hired by a music promotion company called Skyline Chicago to curate the Intonation Festival at Union Park in Chicago. While this was not technically the "Pitchfork Music Festival," because of Pitchfork Media's prominent role in the event as well as its future success in staging similar festivals at the same location, many Chicagoans and music fans consider the 2005 event to be for all intents and purposes the first Pitchfork festival and refer to it by that name.
The performers included Tortoise, the Wrens, the Decemberists, the Go! Team, Les Savy Fav, Broken Social Scene, Andrew Bird, and the Hold Steady.
