Mud, downpour, and a stacked lineup turned the Chicago festival into a space where new stars and legacy acts alike proved their relevance.
Chicago’s Grant Park saw a day of shifting registers on Saturday, as JENNIE, Geese, Ethel Cain, Wolf Alice, and Clipse pulled overlapping crowds to the festival’s second day.
The 26th edition of the ceremony introduced new fashion and media awards while Kendrick Lamar and Doja Cat trailed closely in the nominations count.
The hardcore band’s new North American run pairs them with everyone from Clipse to Boy Harsher, treating each city as its own event.
The post-punk quintet won three major trophies, while the French producer swept multiple categories at the annual celebration of independent music.
