Last weekend we jetted off to Chicago to hit up the always sweet Pitchfork Festival. We already shared our photo recap of the festival weekend, covering all the dope acts we caught, and now we’re stoked to share our collection of Polaroid portraits, snapped between sets and drinks in the VIP. Check out our shots below to see who we ran into over the weekend.
