June is here (sorta, if you don't look outside), and with that comes the first wave of artists tapped for this year's Bumbershoot.  It's the festival's 40th anniversary, so that means trotting out musicians both old and new, which in this case means Bob Dylan and Hole. Dare we dream of a croaky-voiced Courtney Love-Bob Dylan trainwreck duet?

Single-day tickets are available online as of today, and via Ticketmaster this Friday. Just a reminder on how the tickets are different this year: 

The Bumbershoot Standard Ticket ($40 advance/$50 gate) includes guaranteed Mainstage admission, as well as first-come, first-served access to all other Festival venues. The Bumbershoot Economy Ticket ($22 advance/$30 gate) gives ticketholders first-come, first-served access to everything at Bumbershoot except the Mainstage performances in Memorial Stadium. Economy Ticket holders may be able to purchase Mainstage Upgrade Tickets on-site for $30, if space in the Mainstage is still available day-of-show.

There's one more Mainstage act to be announced (mayhaps Soundgarden?), along with the literary, comedy, performing arts, visual arts, film and theater artists, and whatever other music groups get added to the bill. Check out the lineup by day, and the full list is after the jump.

Dylan?
Ah, no thanks. Been burned enough on this big guy over the years. In fact, having seen him 6-7 times, I can say only one was even partially enjoyable (when he played with Tom Petty).

Some other strong acts, though. Neko, Decemberists, clearly, Hole, potentially (always fun to watch a train wreck, regardless)

And both Billy Bragg and Justin Townes Earle look like 2nd-tier highlights. There are some other strong acts in there as well.

Old and old
"musicians both old and new, which in this case means Bob Dylan and Hole."

Hole is not new. Case closed.

RE: Old and old
Some parts are newer than other parts, but even those Doll Parts are getting old, Audrey!

Actually, the one time I did see Hole (at the Moore), I was pretty impressed. Expecting it to be lame, she commanded the audience throughout.

Bob Dylan and a Courtney Love mash up
Picture it, Bob Dylan's voice singing that one Hole song that was popular, in his inimitable Dylanesque nasal fashion:

"I aaaammm
Doll skiiiin
Doll parts blah blah
Yeah they really want you they really want you they really DO!
I want to be the girl with the most cakes
Soooome day you will look like my cakes" or whatever

Nevermind, just imagine it on your own with your own abilities
