We hope you’ve seen it by now, but even if you have, it’s worth watching again. Bumbershoot’s music lineup is here. There’s plenty more to come in visual arts, film, comedy, dance, theatre and more, but we’ve already got a ton of acts to talk about. So sit back, pop in a mixtape and enjoy.

Welcome to Bumbershoot 2012

We’ve been hard at work on Bumbershoot 2012 and we finally have something to share with all our avid BumberFans. More news and information will be released in the coming weeks (including the lineup everyone’s so anxious to see), but today we would like to briefly introduce you to our new campaign and its artist, John Vogl, aka The Bungaloo!

John hails from Denver, Colorado and is a Bumbershoot veteran of sorts. You may have seen some of his great gig posters at Flatstock last year.

We love John’s work for its intricate, hand-drawn aesthetic, put greatly on display in his Bumbershoot 2012 design. You’ll be seeing much more of it throughout the summer, so be on the lookout. Speaking of which, don’t forget to sign up for our BumberFan newsletter. You won’t want to miss out on what we have to share next.
