Agreed, though they'll announce alot more stuff.
Glad I went last year, the lineup was much better.
I love some of the idiotic comments on the Bumbershoot website. Here's a couple. Note to idiot: no way can you put on a music festival and only charge $5 for admission. Unless the Brindley Brothers and Exit Clox are your headliners.
It's also funny that someone who calls Sheryl Crow a "has been" and Modest Mouse a "one hit wonder" pines to see Alice in Chains (dude, Payne Staley is still dead) and Faith No More, and longs for the days of Third Eye Blind, David Lee Roth, and Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Remember the days of David Lee Roth, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Third Eye Blind?now we have bands that are has-beens Sheryl Crow overrated Perry and one hit wonders Modest Mouse. What about Alice and Chains, Queens of the Stoneage. The sad thing is even looking at the Coachella festival that lineup sucks too. You have to go to england to see any good festivals any more. Faith No More is reforming to play over there hopefully they have a us tour.

also, earlier someone said, ?look at the cheap prices.. what a bargain.?
$26. a day is NOT a bargain.
I remember when Bumbershoot was a measly $5 a day, it was four days, for $15, you got the entire weekend, and each day had enough shows that whatever genre of music you were into you could still have a full day, AND you didn?t have to wait in line all day to see shows at smaller venues (I think waiting in line for 4 hours to attend a comedy stage is beyond ridiculous)?. Bumbershoot is losing it?s fun. I don?t even go for the music anymore, I just go for the art, because the music just isn?t worth it, and even the art isn?t what it used to be? I mean, am I the only one who misses the closing festivities? Those events (the parade, the bonfire) made Bumbershoot feel small, like a community, now it feels like a battle of the fittest.

The word is out! An early look at the 2009 Bumbershoot lineup has been unveiled including the artist roster below. If you haven?t picked up your ticket yet, what are you waiting for? An advance 3-day pass is only $80? Um, that?s $26.67 a day?and if you really wanted to boil it down, say you checked out 10 things a day (not tough to do!)? using our expert math skills, that comes out to just $2.67 per show. It?s a wonder you don?t spell ?bargain,? B-U-M-B-E-R-S-H-O-O-T.
