Comments on: Bumbershoot 2011: It’s the Festival Experience, Stupid? http://thesunbreak.com/2011/06/01/bumbershoot-2011-its-the-festival-experience-stupid/ Curious Georges in a conversation with Seattle Wed, 18 Feb 2015 07:17:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: joshc http://thesunbreak.com/2011/06/01/bumbershoot-2011-its-the-festival-experience-stupid/#comment-4535 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 06:02:00 +0000 http://thesunbreak.com/?p=874128#comment-4535 I sort of see where they’re going with this, but in a year that’s seen festivals both major and minor sell out in record time, I’m not entirely sure that shrinking the impact of the lineup is really the key to success for Bumbershoot. I guess that their challenge has always been that they don’t really play to a specific niche, but to an often comically-wide range of potential audiences.

More like, one or two acts and then band-browsing/elephant-ear-eating time. I think the main thing is if the weather cooperates.

I saw the Seattle Times highlighted Macklemore as one of the “stars” on the front page this morning and I groaned but upon further review there’s some decent stuff albeit the headliners appear to be m.i.a. 

Hall and Oates?
