Pitchfork Fest is one of a handful of North American tour dates the National have scheduled for 2022, although they’re set to spend a decent chunk of the summer on the European festival circuit. As for the Roots, in between their day job as The Tonight Show house band, they have scattered shows planned in the coming months, including their annual Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, which will feature Mary J. Blige, Summer Walker, Wizkid, Jazmine Sullivan, and more.
And Mitski has already kicked off her busy year of touring in support of her most recent album, Laurel Hell, which arrived in February. The current North American leg of Mitski’s tour wraps March 31 in Nashville; after a European tour and her set at Pitchfork Fest, she has a handful of additional festival shows scheduled through September.
