Man, you couldn't pay me to go to that lineup. Talk about a stinker.

That's a mix of pretty good and really awful. Isn't bumbershoot labor day weekend though and isn't the number of bands that will play much longer. I'd assume it will get better.

I wouldn't travel for that, but there's still more bands on that short list that I give a crap about than are playing coachella or most of the other festivals everyone here gets excited about.

Yeh. There's 20 venues, spread out over the 4 days of the labor day weekend, and usually over 2000 artists - so there's still a lot of spaces to be filled.

I feel the same way. Sharon Jones, Bettye Lavette, the Subdudes, and the English Beat would be a lotta fun to see, but right now it's just not worth the trip. Although, I usually spend that weekend with friends in Seattle anyway, so maybe I'll pick up a one-day pass.

Just these 10 acts are worth it, to me...much better additions than anticipated.

i think it's worth it although it obviously pales in comparison to previous bumbershoot lineups.

badly drawn boy is probably really terrible live now.

i'd go were i in seattle, but i'm not exactly creaming my pants over it.
