That’s a pretty diverse lineup so far….lots of hip-hop, some decent indie pop and rock, and some artists that I won’t even bother to categorize. It’ll be interesting to see what the next round of artists additions adds to the table.
Any PacNW folks want to chimie in as to how this compares to year’s past?
Any hardcore Bumbershoot fans?
mmm bumbershoot is off to a good start. i will say that last year my highlights were metric and feist, both put on a phenominal show, but the shins put on a great show, a little bit of hip-hop and the folk rock sounds good,
better than kanye anyways.
wheres common market and the guys from mass line media though?

This actually looks like one of the better festival lineups I’ve seen for ’07. Gotta love the Freak Folk.

Crowded House???? Oh boy…they need to just slip quietly into retirement.
Hey, I live in Seattle and actually worked for One Reel for quite a while. I must say that this year’s line-up is pretty impressive, even though I don’t go to Bumbershoot anymore because of the crowds. Sure to be some good shows, however, and I may very venture out this year!
