After a day spent listening to music while enduring 90-degree temperatures and the occasional bout of rain, most Pitchfork Music Festival attendees are content to go home and get into bed. For those who won't let the party stop at 10pm, Chicago's Virgin Hotel will become a destination for aftershow fun at a trio of post-fest parties being thrown at its Cerise rooftop bar and lounge. On Friday night, Chicago producer Stefan Ponce DJs, while Chance the Rapper-collaborator Vic Mensa shows up to turn in a live set. Saturday night puts Pitchfork performers Future Islands behind the boards, accompanied by live performances from Ex Hex and The Orwells. The grand finale occurs on Sunday night, when the girls from HAIM spin before a surprise guest takes the stage (reign in your expectations, an appearance by tour mate Taylor Swift seems like a long shot).
All of the Virgin Hotel after-parties start once Pitchfork Music Festival ends for the night, and admission is free but you'll need to RSVP. Be warned: You'll probably need to show up early to secure a spot as space is limited and admission is first come, first served.
