Festival season is in full swing in the Pacific Northwest with Sasquatch behind us and summer’s bounty (Bumbershoot, Pickathon, Doe Bay, MFNW, Summer Meltdown, New Directions and more!) ahead. In the last week three local festivals have shared their line-ups or started to, and we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss the big news.

City Arts Fest – Seattle, WA

City Arts Fest isn’t until Fall (October 17th to 20th, to be precise) but they’ve already got us excited with word that David Byrne will be headlining the festival at the historic 5th Avenue Theater. He’ll be joined by St. Vincent, who we hope finds a way to crowd surf at the stately theater.

The rest of the City Arts line-up will be announced at the end of July and wristbands go on sale August 2nd.

Doe Bay Fest – Orcas Island, WA

The already, instantly sold-out Festival announced its 5th annual line-up at a party and concert Tuesday at the Tractor Tavern. Here’s who the lucky ticket-holders will get to see on Orcas Island in August.

New Directions – Olympia, WA

We can’t say we’re familiar with New Directions Fest, a “hardcore/punk community gathering” in Olympia, WA the first weekend of August (3rd – 5th), but any volunteer run festival catered to strengthening community and celebrating the music they love is right up our alley, even if we’re not familiar with the bands. Perhaps this would be an excellent introduction.
