The Pitchfork Music Festival 2007 was held on July 13 to 15, 2007 at the Union Park, Chicago, United States.[1]

On Friday, all of the performing bands played all the songs from one of their classic albums as a part of Don't Look Back concert series, a collaboration between Pitchfork and British promoters All Tomorrow's Parties.[2] During her set, musician and performance artist Yoko Ono performed "Mulberry," a song about her time in the countryside after the Japanese collapse in World War II, for only the third time in her life, with Thurston Moore from Sonic Youth; Ono had previously performed the song once with her husband John Lennon and once with her son Sean Lennon.[3]
