  1. Sound of summer

    As you brace for Chicago's onslaught of summer music festivals, save room for a new addition: the Great Googa Mooga. Organized by Superfly Presents, the company behind the Bonnaroo and Outside Lands festivals, Googa Mooga focuses on food.

  11. A$AP Rocky, Japandroids, Willis Earl Beal highlight early acts at Pitchfork

    Rain delayed the start of the Pitchfork Music Festival on Friday, and then it came down hard again around dinner hour. But the music played on.
