Summer is upon us which brings BBQ’s, pool parties, vacations and just enjoying nice weather.  The other great part of Summer is Music Festivals!  No shortage of great festivals across the nation of course we highlight local ones here in Atlanta.  Plenty of festivals in NY and along the East Coast are always highlighted but we want to show some love and invite you to check out a pearl of a festival up in the Pacific North West (Seattle to be exact)  called Bumbershoot!  This year’s festival taking place September 5,6, & 7th (Labor Day Weekend)  celebrates the 45th yr of Bumbershoot quite an accomplishment.  When you look at the many people who have played here it’s an amazing list ranging from Isaac Hayes to Beck from T.I. to The Black Keys from Public Enemy to George Clinton & Bootsy Collins.  That’s just a sample but it shows how diverse the lineups can be.  Last year we covered the festival providing exclusive content on the site.  Bringing you interviews with SZA, audio of J.Cole & Schoolboy Q performing and Wu Tang Clan who headlined the opening night of the festival!  We will be heading back again this year to see great acts like Flying Lotus, Jhene Aiko, Chance The Rapper, The Weeknd and many more.  Not just music there are seminars and a comedy & film branch of the festival.  CLICK HERE to see our posting from last year.  click after  the jump to see full lineup and think about making the trip to the great city of Seattle and enjoy great music!
