Pitchfork has officially cut the cord on their 15th annual music festival this year as a result of the global health crisis. The music publication announced on Wednesday (May 6th) that they would be cancelling the festival, which was scheduled to take place from July 17th-19th, 2020 at Union Park in Chicago. They shared an official statement on the matter, indicating that they still have the full intention of bringing back the music event in 2021 should the global health situation allow for it.

“We’re heartbroken to announce the cancellation of Pitchfork Music Festival 2020, due to COVID-19,” the statement reads. “Ticketholders will be contacted directly email with full refund options; thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work through all of this.”

“It can be pretty daunting to think about the future of live music right now,” the message continued, “but know that we are fully committed to bringing Pitchfork Music Festival back in 2021, if the public health situation allows for it. In the meantime, we urge everyone to follow local health department guidelines. We are in this together, and, if we all do our part, we’ll celebrate next year in person. In the meantime, we have plans for more livestreams, and more ways to use the full weight of Pitchfork to support musicians and the community around our festival. We’re not going anywhere—stay tuned, stay positive, and see you soon.”

Bands like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Run The Jewels, and The National were set to headline, with acts like Danny Brown, Tierra Whack, Rapsody, Maxo Kream, and more also scheduled to perform.

Suga rapper Megan Thee Stallion is continuing to promote her latest release. This time, the Houston Hottie caught up with Pitchfork for their Over/Under series where guests rate various random activities or items. She kicked things off by criticizing people who hop on FaceTime in public before following that up by saying that dubbed anime is underrated.

Megan Thee Stallion is a known anime fan, so she gave her opinion trepidatiously as she didn’t “want the community coming for [her].” She added, “I’m not gonna lie, I have to watch dubbed anime sometimes. If I’m doing my makeup, I can’t stop and read the subtitles.” Then, Megan shared her thoughts on superstitions, saying that they’re overrated and she’s never in the mood to hear what little quirks may bring her bad luck.

She also weighed in on dating apps, noting that everything could be considered a “dating app” if you look at things from a different perspective. “Instagram is a dating app. Twitter is a dating app,” Megan said. “Imma have to say dating apps are probably—I don’t think they’re underrated or overrated. Everybody’s on the app trying to date in some type of way so, perfectly rated.” Check out what else Megan Thee Stallion had to say about dog fashion shows, tarot cards, guilty pleasures, Texas Toast, being an Aquarius, and much more below.

When Pitchfork released its review of Lizzo's Cuz I Love You album the singer followed up with just one message. “PEOPLE WHO ‘REVIEW’ ALBUMS AND DON'T MAKE MUSIC THEMSELVES SHOULD BE UNEMPLOYED,” she wrote on one since-deleted tweet. Now that Halsey's Manic album has been released to the masses, the publication has released a review about her project as well. However, Hasley's response was more of an issue since her charged words were unintentionally in reference to 9/11.

Pitchfork sent out a tweet with a snippet of their review of her album. "Too much of this album sounds like the amorphous pop that you might associate with a miserable Lyft ride,” the tweet read. While we understand that the statement may have been hard for Halsey to read since she put so much in her tape if she had only thought about her response one time over she wouldn't have had to release an apology. "Can the basement that they run p*tchfork out of just collapse already,” she wrote. 

The Pitchfork offices are in the One World Trade Center building in New York, where 9/11 happened.
