The Intonation Music Festival will be the Midwest’s landmark
independent music event this summer on July 16 &17. Curated by the online music magazine Pitchfork Media, the two-day festival will showcase a multi-genre line-up featuring many of the most innovative acts in music today, with 2 stages as well as a DJ Tent created by Biz 3 Publicity pairing unlikely musicians spinning together. There will be a WLUW Record Fair and a unique variety of food, clothing, and art vendors.
Due to a tremendous response to the festival announcement from music
lovers coast to coast, the festival site has been moved to Union Park in Chicago, one of the city’s wide-open green spaces. With far
greater capacity than our previous site we will be able to
accommodate a higher expected festival attendance and create a
spacious and comfortable festival environment for all. Admission
price is $15 per day or $22 for a limited number of two day passes
which will be available on-line only.
