Bumbershoot Initial Lineup

What?

sheryl crow...going for a different market i see

A couple gems there, but overall, this one truly deserves a big WTF?!

woah wait what...katy perry?!??! you're right, WTF!?

huh? this is confusing to me

Looks like I'll be going there, since I hit every single katy perry show...

'If it makes you happy', go ahead and go. I'll be here if you need me.

what the shit?

katy perry is hot. and i like that she kisses girls too.

BUMBERSHIT

Well, now I know where I'll be in between stops on the Jonas Brothers world tour.

Wow.. who could have guessed Franti was playing at this festival!?

Anyone.

Franti will play any gig where he can shout, "Everybody make some noiiiissssseeeeee!", or "Raise your hands in the aaaiiiirrrrrr!!"

Nice one Danalog. So true. Franti....whatever.

Roy Ayers is the man. Was not aware he is playing out. Old school funk and soul. Highly recommended!

at least there's De La Soul and Raphael Saadiq. this never ceases to amaze me. what happened to if you cant say anything nice dont say it at all. Isnt jam music, ie jambase, founded around tolerance and positivity? i think a lot of you would be happier people if you look for good instead of bad, you might actually have a nice day once in a while.

Come on now...we should be able to say whatever we want...and I say this line up doesn't do it for me. And danalog it's "How you feeling"

HOW YOU FEELINNNNNNNNNNNNN

modest & franti = cool, sheryl = not so cool. i'll hop the fence for this year's line up, i ain't payin full.

I was banking on Katy Perry doin her own fest in Limestone this year. Guess I'll just have to do her summertour :(

lalilithsnooza

how does this even make it on jambase?

modest mouse, de la soul, and mark lanegan are quality musicians but sheryl crow and katy perry? hmmm.. something doesnt seem right

cough cough queer! what who said that? glad i dont live there anymore. seattle sucks dong!

Pretty weak initial lineup. I'm sure it will get better, bumbershoot rarely disapoints. Seattle sucks dong??

another waste of a good headline position which could have been filled by a whole plethora of solid acts. i heard these four dudes from vermont are pretty good.

W.E.A.K....Franti & Sly/Robbie are the only two artists I'd spend time seeing. Where is Panic? Ziggy Marley? Soulive? Vinyl? Allman Brothers? Burning Spear? Derek Trucks Band? Hot Tuna? Black Uhuru? Moe? Steve Kimock's Crazy Engine? Karl Denson? Tea Leaf Green? Neil Young? Yonder Mountain? Hot Buttered Rum? I mean....ALL OF THESE BANDS ARE TOURING!! This is my hometown festival and it's a joke once more.

POOPERSHOOT----->what a ridiculous line up for true ASSCLOWNS.

wait for the next couple artists they announce, word is that superfly's ceo's best friend's daughter is in 7th grade with the step-neice of the owner of bumbershoot's HR person and Phish is gonna be announced within the next 3 weeks. when you hear it remember me.

I'm not defending this line up or anything, but I was in Seattle last year visiting friends and we caught the tail end of the fest after spending a night in Vancouver. Xavier Rudd's set was amazing, a truly spiritual experience.

Just want to say that Bumbershoot is MUCH more than a music festival. They also tend to add acts as the time gets closer. Don;t hate on it until you have been there. It is well worth the completely reasonable ticket price.

I understand why people are ripping on this festival, i was going too also until i read peoople hating on sheryl crow. if all you know about her is her radio friendly songs then you don't know shit. she has done some great blues work with the likes of eric clapton amoungst others. check out pavarotti and friends for war child, a classic mix up of genre melting music...don't be ignorant

This is definitely no Waynestock.

^^if waynestock existed i would not have to see any shows all year except waynestock and only waynestock... i mean with a lineup like Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Van Halen, and old guy fashioning a canoe out of a log.. NO! RIP TAYLOR! RIP TAYLORS GOING TO BE THERE!

just awful

Have any of you critical, negative people ever even been to Bumbershoot? This is not Bonnaroo folks, It's been around a hell of a lot longer and it's not a hippie scene, they have a bit of everything. $80 for three days, lots of entertainment.

I would pay like $3.75 for this show.

does anyone else have a dissenting opinion about global warming n the green movement? im on the fence... but al gore is full of shit... dont believe me just look into it.. see past the bullshit

Yea, this is not what everyone here thinks of as a 'festival'. I'm sure there will be a lot of great and varied talent there, there always used to be. I used to live in Seattle and this was one of the great downtown events that made the area....and its not the 'big' names generally but the little local bands and folk bands and stuff. Caught alot of great shows there back in the day. Bumbershoot, Folk Life, Bite of Seattle trifecta of food, beer, and fun.
