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.
