CHICAGO (CBS) — Pitchfork Music Festival has announced the lineup for 2021, including headliners Phoebe Bridgers, St. Vincent, and Erykah Badu, when the three-day festival returns to Union Park in Chicago in September.

Many of the more than 40 bands were scheduled to perform in the 2020 festival that was canceled due to the pandemic. The festival is normally held in July, but this year’s festival was pushed back due to the pandemic.

Chicago and the rest of Illinois are currently in the “Bridge Phase” of the state’s reopening plan, with a limit of no more than 30 people per 1,000 square feet at outdoor festivals. However, state and city officials have said they expect to be able to fully reopen, with no capacity limits, as early as June 11, barring a resurgence in new COVID-19 cases or hospitalizations.
