Where on FB are you revealing the artist? Is it buried among all of the posts?

You can also filter the posts on our wall so that you see just our posts, not all the fan posts. You do this by clicking the text that says “Bumbershoot: Seattle’s….”, found right under the photos. If you want to go back to see all the fan posts, you can click the text that says “Most Recent” (or you can sort by “Top Posts”).

@Chris McCarthy LMFAO is not hip hop, they are crap. J. Cole was a beast last year, I’m hoping they bring in Big Sean or XV, if not its a no go for me.

The $29 Any Day Ticket is the only option that allows you the freedom to change your mind; available until 5/31 or while supplies last. http://bumbershoot.strangertickets.com/event

Hip hop is a hard sell for Seattle, it’s just not really the cities vibe. Blues is great but it dosen’t bring in crowds or get people excited. What brings people in and what Seattles musical blood is thick with is rock and roll. Take a trip through the EMP and you’ll see what the Seattle sound is. Feel free to disagree and there are exceptions but you know I’m right.

I should just stop looking at this. So many good bands, and I’ll be in Arizona over labor day weekend, freshman year at college.

For hip hop flying lotus would be nice. There’s a crowd here for hip hop, maybe not big, but you bring in the good hip hop and the hip hop heads will come out. I’d love to see guys like MED, Brother Ali, Pharaoh Monch, Blu&Exile, Black Milk, eLZhi, Cormega, Del the funky Homosapien, Dilated Peoples etc. etc. could bring in Jake One, he is from Seattle.
The number one thing I want Bumbershoot to bring in is The Revelations featuring Tre Williams. Those guys are incredible and would gain a lot of fans from a musical festival like this. And they would rock the place. Can’t imagine they would have a high price either like pop shit like Wiz Khalifa. and they would rock the young and the old, not just the group of people that listen to Kube.
