I agree with Alex, but for a different reason. Bumbershoot has always booked middle tier older acts, and the lineup this year is lame, although Hall & Oates w/ Fritz and the Tantrums looks interesting IF they do a concert similar to Live at Daryl’s House. But no Solomon Burke (one of his last shows), James Cotton, Brian Auger? Granted Leon Russel is this years Dylan, but the lack of high quality (but low visability) older acts that deserve more exposure than they get is as disturbing to me as missing “newer” acts are to others. Maybe as they release more bookings between now an Labor Day the shows will improve for all. Please?

In reply to Disappointed. Agree the bands suck!!!! Bumbershoot is dead to me. And why bring the mainstage indoors that's dumb outdoors is so much better!

This is a terrible lineup. Especially after last year’s Hole/Rise Against/Bob Dylan/Mary J. Blige.
