Bumbershoot announced their complete lineup this week, and it’s a good one.  As always, the 39th annual music and arts festival will take place over Labor Day weekend (September 5-7) at Seattle Center. 

Some of this year’s musical highlights include Black Eyed Peas (above), Katy Perry, Sheryl Crow, Jason Mraz, The Ting Tings, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cold War Kids, Franz Ferdinand and Northwest favorites Modest Mouse.  Fans of the TV show-turned-cultural-phenomenon, LOST, can participate in a discussion with its writers, Carlton Cuse, Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz as part of the festival’s Literary Arts Lineup.  Enjoy some laughs with comedy from Nick Swarson, Maria Bamford and Wyatt Cenac. 

Special note: the Metro special event shuttle that originated from Northgate Park-and-Ride will not be in service for this year’s festival. Buy tickets before August 21 and get 30% off!  Click here for the schedule and ticket info.
