The Red Sox are set to host another edition of Fenway Fest this weekend, which looks to be heavily focused on players, autograph sessions, and stories of the 1986 team. It doesn't appear there will be any sessions with ownership or the front office, which is unfortunate because those have provided some of the most interesting moments in recent offseasons when they got booed to the high heavens.

West Palm Beach took Valentine's Day to another level this year with the Palm Tree Music Festival. The fest, which pops up in several locales worldwide throughout the year, made its inaugural stop in the Florida city on Feb. 14 with a lineup that included Bunt, Sofi Tukker, Kygo, and Calvin Harris. If you're worried that a one-day fest won't feel as big or spectacular as a major multiday music festival, don't.

But at the end of this month, there's a brand new festival arriving to inject some colour into the financial district.

The night before Music's Biggest Night, Pitchfork continued its streak of ringing in the new year with fun, undeniably risk-averse things we've never done before. At El Cid, a historic open-air venue in LA, we threw our first-ever Best New Music party in collaboration with Hennessy. Co-hosted by PinkPantheress, FKA twigs, Kaytranada, Perfume Genius, and Pitchfork editor Mano Sundaresan, the party brimmed with talented artists shaping the future of music.

I noticed the swelling of the double bass first, quickly followed by the fluttering of brushed cymbals. A saxophone pushing against the edges of a melody swiftly married the notes together, chords drifting haphazardly before reaching a slow, pulsing groove.
