Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago, 7/19/08

Day 2 started out raining, then out came the sun and the humidity. Jarvis Cocker worked the big festival stage, No Age threw a dance party on a smaller stage and the Hold Steady "stayed positive" during its set. Along the way there were mud dancers and more than a few fashion Do's and Don'ts. Photos by Keegan Hamilton and Nick Lucchesi.

Fleet Foxes perform during the 3 p.m. hour. The band's four and five-part harmonies translated surprisingly well in the festival atmosphere. Read the review here.

The rain turned one of the baseball fields at Chicago's Union Park into a mess of mud, sand and wood chips. This group would get dirtier as the day progressed.

Fashion Do: Short shorts or basketball jersey. Fashion Don't: Wear both at the same time, looking like a pudgy member of the 1981 Los Angeles Lakers.
