For the Smile, their Pitchfork fest set will cap off a run of North American concerts that’s scheduled to launch in June. The trio released its debut studio album, A Light for Attracting Attention, last May, followed by a self-titled live EP in December 2022, which featured selections from their performance at the 2022 Montreux Jazz Festival. Another live, vinyl-only EP featuring recordings from their 2022 European concerts, was released earlier this month.

As for Big Thief, they’re still touring in support of their acclaimed 2022 album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, and their stop at Union Park will mark the band’s first headlining set at a festival of Pitchfork’s size. Kelela will be spending much of the year on the road as well in support of her new album, Raven, while Bon Iver has various festival dates and headlining shows scheduled in North America and Europe throughout the year.
