In all the hoopla surrounding SP20 this weekend (seriously, awesome coverage from Stella, Heather and Chona), it might have gotten missed that Bumbershoot unveiled their schedule Saturday morning.
Here are the artists added:
Death Cab For Cutie / Superchunk / Tapes ‘n Tapes / The Weakerthans / Two Gallants / Sweet Water / Cheb I Sabbah & 1002 Nights featuring Riffat Sultana / Vicci Martinez / Black Eyes and Neckties / Tiptons Sax Quartet / Mono in VCF / Thee Emergency / Vince Mira / Manooghi Hi / Feral Children / Speaker Speaker / The Physics / The Tripwires / Sage / Grieves / Choklate / Das Vibenbass / The Valley / Velella Velella / The Maldives / Shim / Shane Tutmarc & The Traveling Mercies / Mariee Sioux / The Round (featuring Damien Jurado, Jen Wood, Buddy Wakefield and others) / The Lonely H / Nick Vigarino / The Staxx Brothers / Lushy / New Faces / School of Rock: Northwest All-Stars / Jazz Northwest: WSU Faculty Ensemble

The full schedule is here.
I think the roster of local bands is especially good but with the rumors of Rage Against the Machine and Prince floating around, Death Cab as a headliner is kind of a letdown (at least to me).
What do you guys think? Who are you most excited to see?
