Bumbershoot 2011 September 3-5 at Seattle Center

[suprefan]

Is LW more affordable without his entire rig and 18 different name openers?

B-Shoot has had some bigger budget acts like Black Eyed Peas(2009), Stone Temple Pilots 1st reunion swing(2008), Kings of Leon(2007), Kanye(2006), Nickelback(?!?! - 2004), REM(2003), REM(1999), Eurythmics(1984) and Tina Turner(early 80's)

Kanye in 06 wasnt getting a million like he did for Coachella this year ok? You should try to categorize the level of success a band had at the time, to go how much they probably cost for a festival at said time.

The magazine that outed the ACL headliners also has Bumbershoot listed... but only has bands we already know about, no major headliners. Wonder if that means there aren't any?

BSS, The Kills, Mavis Staples, Hall and Oates... maybe they're going small this year after getting crushed financially in 2010?

Toro y Moi confirmed via Bumbershoot's FB.

[chiapet]

Looking interesting so far (I hate when festivals do these draw out announcements though)

[Fourthisto]

Plus as I said, Atari Teenage Riot confirmed on their own site.

Holy crap, time to look into a flight...

Yeah, it is more than a bit annoying, but I suppose they think it draws a lot more attention over a longer span this way.

I'm really into the 'Band a day in May' thing. I spend all morning eagerly awaiting the announcement at noon. I'm so glad BSS is coming - I missed their set at Coachella. And Hall&Oats, Ray Lamontagne and Toro y Moi is gonna be fantastic as well - I'm suprisingly impressed by the lineup so far.

Cool, thanks to you I just learned what time they've been posting them. Ha, hadn't looked into it that much I guess. And totally agree about BSS, I was busy getting up close in anticipation for Elbow and had to miss them as well.

[full on idle]

This should be fun. Maybe I'll actually get in to a comedy performance this year. Plus Atari Teenage Riot!

[fikus222]

STRFKR was added.

[Boourns]

Little Dragon self confirmed in their newsletter.

[fikus222]

The 1st post has been updated with the full line-up.

[Bumblebee]

Am I supposed to believe the headliners(Key Arena?) are Broken Social Scene, Wiz Khalifa, Hall & Oates and Ray Lamontagne?

[fikus222]

The lineup for Decibel's curated stage has yet to be announced:

But that’s not all. Decibel founder and organizer Sean Horton will curate the EMP Sky Church stage, which will feature a slew of acts, all working with high-end technology and multimedia via the venue’s state-of-the-art screen. Other late night shows, dubbed Bumbershoot After Dark, will take place at the EMP’s Exhibition Hall from 10 p.m. to five in the morning. More information, including lineups and ticketing, will surface June 15th.

[miscorrections]

Meh. Might volunteer, though.

The Presidents are especially popular here, I think they'd close out a night unless I'm just overly nostalgic. Time to look up the undercard for what's good.

For a $30 daily pass, comedy, film, music, etc. I can't complain

[rage patton]

Might go Sunday for BSS, The Kills, Butthole Surfers and Attari Teenage Riot. Other than that. Pretty "meh" line up.

[miscorrections]

Drop me a line if you come down!

[fikus222]

Decibel Stage Artists:

Performers include SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS, FREE THE ROBOTS, TYCHO, EMANCIPATOR, NICE NICE, COM TRUISE, BEAT CONNECTION, SHIGETO, TRUCKASAURAS, HTRK, PEZZNER, LUSINE, NATASHA KMETO, LAWNCHAIR GENERALS, THE SIGHT BELOW, MASH HALL, SPLATINUM, 214, THE GREAT MUNDANE, WD4D, ILL COSBY and more...

[Sleepingrock]

Tycho!

[PenisMuncher]

Sunday looks really nice with Butthole Surfers, The Kills, Broken Social Scene, Anti-Flag, Nomeansno, and The Lonely Forest. Monday's kind of bleh, and Saturday's only cool because it has a few really nice metal acts.

Late night EMP stuff sounds nice in theory, but I have a feeling it's not going to be that great in practice. Like going out to a rave or club except without any alcohol.

[frankl]

I'll be there for the 15th consecutive year (and a few before that).

Btw some of the best shows the past few years have been at the KEXP "lounge".

[PenisMuncher]

Presidents of the USA and Natalie Portman's Shaved Head are both confirmed for Saturday. Meaning Monday is basically a giant Hall & Oates concert. Hopefully they'll at least be getting a two hour set or something.

[InF3cT10uZ]

On Amonly.com it says Craze is playing Seattle Center Sept 3rd so hopefully there are a bunch of unannounced electronics acts because so far that decibel stage lineup is pretty weak.

[Fourthisto]

Flight booked, three day pass purchased... already stoked.

Probably part of Bumbershoot After Dark. The lineup for that will be released on the 15th, but you have to get a separate ticket for it. It's on the 3rd and 4th from 10:00pm - 5:00am and is being handled by Decibel Festival.

I was doing some research on a few bands I haven't a clue about that are playing Bumbershoot and stumbled upon these:

[vdubshani]

I'm trying to go to seattle that weekend so I'm gonna try to make it on Monday...my favorite band in the world has reunited and is playing that day!! Grant Lee Buffalo! Hells yeah!

That looks awesome, now I kind of want to make it to Bumbershoot...

[unknown]

I will definitely be at Bumbershoot After Dark. This makes me so happy.
