Day 3 of the Pitchfork Music Festival had something for everyone. From Killer Mike’s personal and poetic verses to the joyful sounds of Hurray for the Riff Raff to the magical powers of Bon Iver vocalist Justin Vernon’s delicate falsetto, music fans enjoyed a buffet of satisfying sounds.

Kelela – who performed a sold-out show at Thalia Hall earlier this year – proved that she is headliner-bound as she inspired the entirety of the Red Stage crowd to lose themselves in movement. Koffee, JPEGMAFIA, and Rachika Nayar also delivered stand-out sets.
