Bumbershoot: Only in Seattle

Bumbershoot, a three-day festival of music and art in Seattle, has just released a new bunch of performers for the 2007 season. The list of acts can be officially found on the Bumbershoot website, but Billboard.com has an exclusive to the number of add-ons to the festival:

The Shins
The Wu-Tang Clan
Panic! At The Disco
The reformed Crowded House
Lupe Fiasco
Steve Earle
Devotchka
Devendra Banhart
Roky Erickson
Allison Moorer
Magnolia Electric Company
Gogol Bordello
Kill Hannah
Norma Jean
Plain White T's
the Gourds
Lyrics Born
the Holmes Brothers.


This is a small list of bands that are going to perform. I think it will get bigger once it gets closer to the dates. What's really interesting is that it's a mixture of hip-hop, rock, metal, and jew rock? I'm surprised they don't have Matisyahu or Balkan Beatbox on the menu as well.

There can't be a better way to end the summer with some really good music at a large festival in Seattle. Hell, I'll probably go.
